Cappadox festival set to revive Cappadocia

A new international open-air festival called Cappadox has been born in central Anatolia. The event, which will take place between May 16 and 18, was inspired by the cultural heritage and extraordinary landscape of Cappadocia. 

Organized by Pozitif Live in collaboration with curator Fulya Erdemci, the Cappadox Festival aims to establish a multi-disciplinary platform to experience and enjoy the special geography of the region through music, contemporary art, gastronomy and outdoor activities. 

Inviting collectors from all around the world to the region, Cappadox was conceived as a progressive festival which will transcend the past while seeking its future.

Music 

The Cappadox live music program will explore the inter-relation of music and space in the context of Cappadocia, and aims to give the Cappadocian landscape a soundtrack. The program verges on the progressive, bringing together live international and Turkish musicians from the realms of neo-classical, indie, ambient electronic and jazz.

Özdemir, Erkan Tekçi, Colleen, Grouper, Iyeoka Okoawo, Múm, Stephan Micus, Gaye Su Akyol, Erkan O?ur, Derya Türkan, Alp Ersönmez, Julia Holter and TSU! will be among the performers of the festival.
