I was once in Antalya in Tukey and there is this singer Tarkan he is like a pop idol kind of person, anyway Tarkan cancelled a concert in Antalya a few years back due to health issues and I swear to god a riot almost broke out! It was unreal, the amount of supporters this guy has. I have never seen such fanaticism (in a good way, at least turks don't blow shit up) about something.
Istambul got almost burnt to the ground over a chariot race a few thousand years back :D turks are very fanatic about their sports and singers maybe parks are a big deal to them as well?
