Sound Ports Istanbul is an independent music and arts festival dedicated to urban music, sub cultures, Mediterranean vibes, positive people and positive thinking.
On march 24 until April 2 we are kicking of with our 2nd edition which is under the title 'Journey Within'.

Headliners are Tuareg band Tamikrest (Mali/ Algeria), Buttering Trio ft. Ester Rada (Tel Aviv), and Scratchy Sounds (UK), among others.

Since our first edition in 2016, there have been several attacks in Istanbul aimed at civilians. These incidents have cast a dark mood over the city and its inhabitants. And this mood is disconnecting people from the outside world. We are turning in on ourselves, asking fundamental questions. What is going on? What should I do? What will happen tomorrow? What is happening now, both in our region and across the world?

With the knowledge that the change starts in one's own mind and soul, we decided to set 2017's festival theme as 'Journey Within'.

Bands:
Kam Ata, Yakaza Ensemble, TSU!, Tau, Tamikrest, Asaf Samuel, Islandman, Buttering Trio
