Istanbul, the city which divides Asia and Europe, is the only city in the world which is situated on two continents. This city of (officially) 13 million inhabitants - the largest city in Turkey - celebrates a unique culture which fuses eastern and western influences and a history stretching back as far as 5500 BC.

The country's largest music festival, affectionately referred to as "Rock'n Coke", is held biannually and attracts more than 30,000 people per day. The event hosts more than 30 artists, but the main stage is reserved for the big names that headline the event. Past performers were The Cure, 50 Cent, Muse and Smashing Pumpkins.
