From the organizer:
Take your time to enjoy summer in the city one last time at its peak.
Burn Istanbul Rooftop Festival is about to hit the town again with an all-day-long journey full of joys, and summoning all the outdoorsy types to join!
The festival provides an unusual experience where you can attend multiple rooftops, all of which have exciting musical programs and several activities, with a single ticket.
J. Bernardt: The solo project of Jinte B. Deprez -the brain of Belgian indie team Balthazar- characterized by striking synthpop tunes and mellow vocals
Just Emma: The German duo that recently attracted attention with their melodic, dark, yet optimistic interpretation of electronic music
Milo Häfliger: One of the young faces of contemporary electronic music, Mr. Häfliger transforms the journey into true-selves and unconscious emotions to a dance-filled, serene experience with his selection of finely crafted ethnic melodies

Niju: An esteemed member of the WIDE AWAKE crew, Niju supports his claim of creating the music of the future that has rich references to shamanic rituals with highly imaginative sets and productions
Ilhan Ersahin: Be it creating a musical style so unique that it feeds more than one project at any given time, establish a jazz club / record label so iconic (Nublu) that it is basically living history and just inspiring, mentoring, discovering so many talents constantly; Swedish-Turkish musician Mr. Ersahin is one of the most prominent names of his generation. (feat. Salih Topuz)
Mercan Dede – DJ Arkın Allen: Masterfully blending the music of the oriental Sufi tradition, to which he is deeply attached, with contemporary tunes, one of Turkey’s most globally award-winning musicians Mercan Dede (aka. DJ Arkın Allen) brings East and West, as well as the new and the old together.
Hey! Douglas: Bringing a new life to Anatolia’s musical culture with an inspiration taken from the early disco sounds of the West, Hey Douglas is one of the most popular and influential projects of recent times.
