One of the festival’s most beloved events, Jazz in the Parks, once again spreads across the city with the trio of summer, jazz, and parks.

As one of the Istanbul Jazz Festival’s most enjoyable events, Jazz in the Parks once again invites all music lovers to the parks this year. Featuring concerts spreading across different corners of the city, the event hosts Young Jazz+ 25 bands and Jungle by Night transforming the parks into festival grounds for a day.

Amsterdam-based Jungle by Night masterfully blends analog dance music, nu-disco, Krautrock, ‘70s funk, and ‘80s electronic music in just the right proportions. Their sound is rich with synthesizers, drums, bass, guitar, and percussion, and further enriched by trumpet and trombone. Most recently, on their latest album Synergy, they recorded live with a range of musicians, infusing the album with the one-of-a-kind styles of Spinvis, Sef, Merol, Pitou, and Meral Polat. With synergistic music and energetic performances, they’ve become an essential part of Europe’s festival scene, proving that one thing time and again: a real festival just isn’t complete without Jungle by Night. This summer, we’ll be at Kadıköy Kalamış Atatürk Park, ready to be pulled into the groove by Jungle by Night and dance like there is no tomorrow.

Before Jungle by Night, Young Jazz Musicians of 2025 will take the stage.
