Ampitheatre in Ephesus
 

Are there still concerts in the Grand Ampitheatre, and if so, how do I find out about them? thanks

At the moment there are series of classical concerts in Aspendos theatre in Antalya. Ephesus concerts are not fixed ones but I am sure there will be few this summer. I will check for you and repost here.

There are several activities at Cesme open air theatre in June & July.

They stopped using it for rock concerts after Metallica nearly made it fall down again.

Hýmmm.....Metallica in Ephesus !!!!!
That's interesting ;-)
I only recall metallica (and searched for on the web)is in Istanbul in 1993.

No one would allow Metallica to even tune their guitars at Ephesus !

There has been discussions about concerts at Ephesus and as far as I know only unplugged concerts are allowed.

Happy imagining
