About the show
100% Metal Proudly Presents: The Aristocrats, one of the world's most original, boundary-breaking, and fun instrumental bands, will be on stage at IF Beşiktaş on May 2nd, 2026!
This trio, who blend rock, jazz, metal, pop, country, and countless other genres to create a musical circus on stage, is coming to Istanbul as part of "The Duck Tour." Their 2023 Defrost Tour sold out completely, and Istanbul music lovers witnessed a captivating performance.
Let's Get to Know the Lineup:
Guthrie Govan – World-renowned guitar virtuoso. Known from Steven Wilson, Hans Zimmer, and Asia projects.
Bryan Beller – Master of bass guitar. Played with giants like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Dethklok.
Marco Minnemann – A boundless genius on drums. Has a career spanning from Steven Wilson to Joe Satriani and Steve Hackett.
12 Years of Adventure, 5 Albums, 4 World Tours:
This adventure, which began with a one-off concert in 2011, quickly turned into a legend. Their first album, recorded in 8 days, was instantly declared a "cult" classic. Subsequent albums even charted on the Billboard Jazz charts.
Nobody Knows What Will Happen on Stage – Not Even Them!
At The Aristocrats concerts, it's impossible to know what, when, or how things will happen. Improvisation is constant, surprises abound. Crazy transitions reminiscent of Frank Zappa, winking melodies, and performances that push the boundaries of technical limits come together on stage.
New Album: DUCK
Released in 2024, the new album Duck is one of his wildest works, both musically and thematically. Telling a duck story stretching from Antarctica to New York, this album is both a concept album, a musical journey, and a crazy bombardment of ideas.
