Carpenter Brut plays Paribu Art Ana Sahne in Kadıköy on Saturday 28 November 2026. Dark synthwave in a hall: 1980s horror-film colour, heavy-metal weight, analog synths pushed until they sound aggressive rather than nostalgic. The live show is a band, not a man behind a laptop. That is why a room on the Asian side is a better fit than a marina.
You came for the volume and the lights, and both need walls. An outdoor park would waste the drums. A seated theatre would waste the crowd.
To be clear about what this page is: this is not our event. Saucy runs its own nights in Istanbul, and this is not one of them. We are reporting somebody else's date because Kadıköy after 23:00 is its own transport problem, and that is the kind of thing we happen to know. There is nothing for sale here.
What the live show actually is
Franck Hueso's records defined a particular strain of dark synthwave. On stage it is a band playing that music at metal volume. The drums and the lights are the show. Stand where you can see the stage, not only hear it.
If you wanted a DJ set, this is the wrong night. If you wanted to sit down, this is the wrong venue. Biletix bills the date on Ana Sahne, the main stage, at 21:30. MTicket has listed doors at 20:00. Confirm which of those your ticket is describing.
November in Kadıköy is wet more often than it is cold. The room is indoor, so weather only matters on the way. Ear protection is not theatrical at this volume. Do not assume a cloakroom will take a large bag.
Paribu Art, which is not a park
The hall is in Hasanpaşa on Kurbağalıdere Caddesi, on the Asian side. Metro, Marmaray or a ferry plus a walk is the usual approach. Eat in Kadıköy before doors. The hall is not a dinner.
Kadıköy on a Saturday will add people who came for the neighbourhood as well as the name. The room is still a hall: standing, indoor, late.

Getting home, and the last crossing
28 November 2026 is a Saturday. Several major metro lines run through the night at roughly 30-minute intervals. That helps once you are on the M4 or back across the water. It does not help if you miss the last ferry and treat a cross-Bosphorus taxi at 00:30 as the plan.
The practical sequence:
- Know the last ferry and the last Marmaray before you go in. Those are the constraints, not the set time.
- The M4 serves Kadıköy. On a Saturday night it is a live option.
- A taxi across the water is the expensive way to end this night. Walk toward the station or the pier rather than waiting at the door.

Who this is for
Go if you want synthwave as a live band, indoors, at volume, and you can get back from Kadıköy on a Saturday night.
Think twice if you wanted a DJ, a seated crossover night, or an outdoor park.
The venue is Paribu Art. The public listing is Biletix. A ticket that does not say Ana Sahne and 28 November is the wrong ticket.
As above, this is somebody else's show. If you want to know what Saucy is actually running, that is on Instagram.
Verify before you travel
We checked Istanbul's autumn 2026 listings carefully and the aggregator data was poor: of three major shows we verified, one had been cancelled while ticket sites still listed it as available, and one was actually taking place in Athens rather than Istanbul.
This date appears on Biletix for Paribu Art Ana Sahne. Confirm against that listing and the venue's own site before you book travel around it. Our concerts guide explains how to check a date properly.
Last checked: 19 August 2026.
