Demonation Festival No:4 // 2nd Day

From sludge to hip hop and dub to free jazz, Demonation Festival will be presenting a wide selection from Turkey's independent music scene once again.

This year, the 4th of Bant Mag's Demonation Festival series, ongoing since 2010, will be taking place at Babylon. A festival in which musicians and bands producing and distributing their music through independent channels take the stage, Demonation has taken place in different venues over the years, including Tamirane, arkaoda, and Salon IKSV. Host to bands preparing their demos independent of big record labels, and free of commercial pressures, who will no doubt tear up the stage, the festival has previously included bands such as Bubituzak, Bicycle Day, Seni Görmem İmkansız, She Past Away, Farfara, and many more. Taking place over the course of the first few days of the new year, this years lineup will once again join names from all over the musical spectrum on the same stage.
