MONSTA X is vibing with almost 60,000 fans at the Istanbul Festival in Turkey last weekend. The idols have just reaffirmed their powerful global presence, becoming one of the biggest acts of the Festival by representing the Kpop scene on a grand scale.
The fifth edition of the Istanbul Festival is widely regarded as one of the country’s largest music celebrations, so MONSTA X’s performance is now just part of Istanbul’s history. The idols kicked off their performance with “DRAMARAMA,” prompting the audience to sing along.

The idols performed “Rush Hour,” “The Dreaming,” and “Growing Pains,” as part of their special segment. In addition, they will also hold a special artist Q&A segment; members Shownu and Jooheon reflected on past visits and broadcasts in Turkey. Ultimately, MONSTA X’s performance is an open love letter to all the devoted fans who have supported them since day one.
Now, MONSTA X is rushing to another great chapter of their artistry with the release of their brand new musical project, “The Phase,” scheduled for September 4, 2026. Are you ready to embark on this new adventure?
