%100 Metal Proudly Presents: Haggard, the world’s most crowded and comprehensive symphonic rock/metal band, live at Zorlu PSM Turkcell Stage in Istanbul on Sunday, October 11, 2026!

One of the most listened-to metal bands in Türkiye, Haggard was founded in Germany in 1989. Their debut album, “And Thou Shalt Trust... The Seer”, released in 1997 with a 16-member lineup, quickly drew attention with its classical and symphonic elements and received outstanding reviews from major music magazines. After a three-year break, the band released their second album, “Awaking the Centuries”, featuring a remarkable 21-member lineup. With this album, Haggard became the first band to fully merge classical music with rock/metal, rather than merely using classical influences in their sound. Through lyrics written in English, German, and Latin, they theatrically narrated stories of Medieval Europe, influential philosophers, and intellectual movements using the language and expressions of the people of that era.

The sold-out concert they performed in Mexico during their highly successful 2001 American tour was later released by their record label as the DVD “Awaking the Gods”, proving the band’s powerful stage performance as well.

After a short break filled with concerts, the long-awaited third studio album arrived in 2004. Titled “Eppur Si Muove” (“And Yet It Moves”), the album was met with critical acclaim in the rock/metal press. Focusing on the struggle between science and faith faced by the famous 16th-century philosopher and mathematician Galileo against the Roman Catholic Church, Haggard once again demonstrated its unique identity not only through its music but also through the literary and historical depth of its lyrics. In August 2008, the band released “Tales of Ithiria”, another album centered around historical characters and stories.

Beloved by fans of classical and rock/metal music alike, as well as admirers of experimental and high-quality genres, fantasy literature, and history enthusiasts, Haggard will hold a special gathering at Zorlu PSM Turkcell Stage on Sunday, October 11, 2026, as part of the %100 Metal Series.

Caribou will take the stage at Turkcell Stage on November 24, 2026, as part of the Garanti BBVA Young Concerts series!

Over more than two decades, Dan Snaith has built one of the most celebrated bodies of work in contemporary electronic music — from the Polaris Prize-winning Andorra to the Grammy-nominated Our Love, and the critically acclaimed Swim (Resident Advisor and Mixmag’s ‘Album of the Year’).

His tracks ‘Can’t Do Without You’, ‘Odessa’, ‘Sun’ and ‘Home’ are landmarks of electronic music and continue to move dancefloors and festival stages worldwide. In 2024 Caribou released the dancefloor-focused Honey to great acclaim, and in 2025 released the infectious singles ‘Waiting So Long’ and ‘Facilita’, a collaboration with Fred again. Throughout all this change, the Caribou live band has become a unique force in live music and a mainstay at festivals worldwide. Having now played over 1000 shows on five continents, the band has enraptured dingy basements and huge arenas, headlined festivals and had a global audience in raptures. They have played repeatedly at festivals across the globe — Coachella, Primavera Sound, All Points East, Fuji Rock, Lowlands, Bonnaroo, Portola, Reading and Leeds — with several iconic sets at Glastonbury, including a triumphant headline at the Park Stage in 2025. They have also played many of the world’s most prestigious venues, from the Hollywood Bowl and the Sydney Opera House to the Roundhouse in London, where they held a three-night residency in early 2025 celebrating the release of Honey.

Their live show is a sumptuous audiovisual feast: lights designed by Brian Kelly, video by 555x5555 aka Damien Roach, and four musicians playing both traditional and electronic instruments — a unique proposition in the world of live electronic music. It’s also a propulsive, euphoric party. Do not miss it!

Ash – The Symphonic Experience will take place on December 5 at Zorlu PSM Turkcell Stage.

Internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Ash is known for blending electronic music with orchestral textures, achieving billions of streams worldwide through works such as Mosaïque, Worlds Apart, Sing It Back, and Daydream.

The artist also gained major international attention with a remarkable 2019 performance at the Giza pyramid complex.

For this special evening, Ash will share the stage for the first time with the Eurasia Philharmonic Orchestra, presenting a unique world premiere that merges electronic soundscapes with rich symphonic arrangements.

SYML, the solo project of Seattle-based musician and producer Brian Fennell, reaches millions of listeners worldwide with his atmospheric, emotionally charged music, inspired by the instincts that draw us toward sanctuary, whether in a place or in a person.

Classically trained in piano from a young age, Fennell later taught himself production, programming, and guitar, developing the distinctive musical world that has become synonymous with SYML. Making a strong entrance into the music scene with his self-titled debut album in 2019, the artist reached a wide audience with multi-platinum hit “Where’s My Love” and Gold-certified “Girl.”

With more than five billion streams worldwide, SYML has built a strong and intimate connection with his listeners, while his music has also found a prominent place in film and television. His songs have been featured in productions such as Maxton Hall and The Summer I Turned Pretty, while one of his works was sampled by Lana Del Rey on “Paris, TX,” from her 2023 Grammy-nominated album Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.

One of the most personal chapters of SYML’s musical journey, The Day My Father Died, was recorded at Seattle’s Studio X with Grammy-winning producer Phil Ek. The album features collaborations with notable artists including Guy Garvey of Elbow, Lucius, Sara Watkins, and Charlotte Lawrence.

His third studio album, Nobody Lives Here, delves even deeper into themes of grief, loss, and mortality. Written, recorded, and produced by Brian Fennell alongside collaborator Brian Eichelberger, the album offers an intimate reflection on the contradictions of being alive: fleeting yet meaningful, fragile yet worth holding onto. The Seattle Times praised Fennell as an artist capable of creating “an instant-tears piano melody” while using minimalism to achieve profound emotional impact.

Following his sold-out Nobody Lives Here tour across North America, the UK, and Europe, SYML has further cemented his reputation as one of indie music’s most emotionally resonant live performers. Capturing the essence of this tour, Paris Unplugged, his upcoming live album, will be released on vinyl and CD on October 16.
