Venues

Blind İstanbul

Blind İstanbul

Beyoğlu, Istanbul · 22 upcoming events

In Beyoglu Asmalimescit, on Sehbender Street. This line in Istiklal's back streets is one of the busiest veins of Istanbul nightlife; Blind sits on the electronic side of that vein. Its program alternates between live music and DJ sets: concerts on weekdays, nights running until morning on weekends. A mid-sized venue — close to the stage and the booth, the kind where the crowd touches shoulders. Known more for its music selection than spectacle. Being right in the heart of Asmalimescit means plenty of options nearby before and after the night; walking distance to Sishane and Taksim metro exits, so the trip home is never an issue. There can be a wait at the door on busy nights.

Frankhan Selectist

Frankhan Selectist

Beyoğlu, Istanbul · 10 upcoming events

A two-stage live performance venue in Karakoy, on Kemankes Street. Founded by Selectist, Frankhan can run two separate areas — Main Room and Sound Room — on the same night. This dual structure diversifies the program: a concert can run on one side while a DJ set plays on the other. With capacity for around a thousand people, it's one of Karakoy's largest indoor stages. Karakoy has been one of the liveliest districts of recent years — walking distance to the pier, Galata and Tophane. Easy access by ferry and tram, with an easier night return than other club districts.

IF Performance Hall

IF Performance Hall

Çankaya, Ankara · 8 upcoming events

A live music venue in Ankara Kavaklidere, on Tunus Street. A large part of the city's regular concert calendar runs through here — a wide-ranging program from Turkish rock and pop bands to DJ nights. Ankara's nightlife is packed into a narrower area compared to Istanbul, and Kavaklidere is the center of that area; IF is that center's best-known stage. A standing, close-to-stage layout, with a flow that runs late on weekends. Walking distance to Kizilay, with plenty of food and drink options nearby. Concert days fill up early; we recommend not going without a ticket.

Klein Phönix

Klein Phönix

Istanbul · 11 upcoming events

Klein's large indoor stage in Maslak. A venue that has long been active on Istanbul's techno and electronic music scene; Phönix is the brand's largest-capacity hall. The program runs on international DJ line-ups — nights built around a single long set flow starting late and running until morning. Sound and lighting are set up for the dancefloor; seating is secondary. Maslak is a business district far from the city center's club lines. This both eases noise-restriction issues and lets the venue genuinely run late. Plan your night's return in advance; public transport thins out at these hours.

Pera 77

Pera 77

Beyoğlu, Istanbul · 2 upcoming events

Pera 77 is a jazz venue on the ground floor of The Marmara Pera hotel on Meşrutiyet Street in Beyoğlu. Weeknight evenings mostly feature live jazz, blues and contemporary music. It serves food through the day, along with cocktails and light bites. Programming varies by night, so check the current schedule before you go.

Zorlu PSM - touché by N Kolay - İstanbul

Zorlu PSM - touché by N Kolay - İstanbul

Beşiktaş, Istanbul · 21 upcoming events

The touche stage within Zorlu PSM. A relatively small, close-to-stage hall inside Zorlu Center; the section where jazz, world music and acoustic-focused programs are held. Offers a more intimate layout than large concert halls, with table/seating layout and food-and-drink service, an experience close to a club concert atmosphere. Walking distance to the Zincirlikuyu and Gayrettepe metro lines, inside a complex with parking.
