%100 Metal proudly presents: One of the world’s most original, boundary-pushing, and downright entertaining instrumental bands, The Aristocrats, will take the stage at IF Beşiktaş on May 2, 2026! Blending rock, jazz, metal, pop, country, and countless other styles into a wild, genre-defying musical circus, this trio is coming to Istanbul as part of “The Duck Tour.” Their 2023 Defrost Tour show sold out completely, leaving Istanbul’s music lovers spellbound by an unforgettable performance. 🎶 Meet the Line-Up Guthrie Govan – World-renowned guitar virtuoso, known for his work with Steven Wilson, Hans Zimmer, and Asia. Bryan Beller – A master of the bass guitar, who has played with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Dethklok. Marco Minnemann – A limitless mind behind the drums, with a career spanning Steven Wilson, Joe Satriani, Steve Hackett, and Necrophagist. 🎵 A 12-Year Adventure: 5 Albums, 4 World Tours What began in 2011 as a one-off concert quickly turned into a legend. Their debut album—recorded in just eight days—was instantly hailed as a cult classic. Subsequent releases even landed them spots on the Billboard Jazz charts. 🌍 No One Knows What Will Happen on Stage — Not Even Them At a The Aristocrats show, nothing is predictable. Everything is improvised, every moment a surprise. Frank Zappa-esque madness, playful melodies, and performances that push technical limits all collide live on stage. 🦆 New Album: DUCK Released in 2024, Duck is one of their wildest works yet—musically and thematically. Telling the story of a duck traveling from Antarctica to New York, the album is at once a concept record, a musical journey, and a gloriously insane explosion of ideas. 🎫 This Is a Show You Don’t Want to Miss If you’re looking for musical fearlessness, constant surprise, and world-class virtuosity, you need to be at IF Beşiktaş on May 2.
