About İzmir Arena

İzmir Arena is a large waterfront event venue in Turan, Bayraklı, on the shoreline between Karşıyaka and Alsancak, and one of the city's main stops for big open-air concerts. It has about 16000 square metres of open ground and around 2200 square metres of indoor space, with a 305 metre frontage on the gulf. Rock, pop, rap and alternative concerts form the backbone of its programme, with occasional multi-artist festival nights; most concerts are standing, and the stage and layout are set up afresh for each event. Outside concerts it is also used for corporate events, weddings, receptions, meetings and fairs. The nearest rail stop is the İZBAN Turan station, a short walk away. Upcoming shows in November 2026 included Altın Gün on 20 November, with tickets on Bubilet.
