Turkey's Kultur Yolu Festival stages free concerts in Trabzon and Manisa

The state‑run Kultur Yolu Festival continued its summer programme with a free outdoor concert by singer Bayhan in Trabzon. The performance took place on 13 June 2026 at 20:30 in the Papara Park parking area of the city’s stadium. Bayhan, who rose to fame from the 2003 Popstar Türkiye competition, sang his best‑known songs as part of the festival’s line‑up that runs from 6 to 14 June and includes other Turkish pop stars.

Two days earlier, on 5 June 2026, the festival featured a separate event in Manisa, where veteran artist Kıraç performed at the Perşembe Pazarı parking area. Thousands of fans gathered to hear hits such as “Zaman”, “Endamın Yeter”, “Kan ve Gül” and “Kerkük Zindanı”. Both concerts were organised by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and aimed to bring live music to large crowds in regional venues.
