PLAN YOUR TRIP - Istanbul - page 35

July
It can be as hot as Hades at this time of year, so many locals decamp to beaches on the Mediterranean
Coast. Those left in town keep the heat under control with a liberal dose of cool jazz.
Efes Pilsen One Love
This two-day music festival ( www.pozitif-ist.com ) is organised by the major promoter of
rock and pop concerts in Turkey, Pozitif, and is held at santralistanbul on the Golden Horn.
International headline acts play everything from punk to pop, electro to disco.
İstanbul Jazz Festival
This festival ( http://caz.iksv.org/en ) programs an exhilarating hybrid of conventional jazz,
electronica, drum 'n' bass, world music and rock. Look out for Tünel Feast, its one-day
'festival within the festival', which stages free events around Tünel Meydanı (Tünel
Square).
