Turkish band Manifest relocates to London

The Turkish pop group Manifest announced that it will move its base of operations from Istanbul to London. Founder and manager Tolga Akış said the collective’s shared house in Istanbul will close in September and a new shared space will open in London, marking the start of a “global” phase for the band.

The move is linked to plans for a partnership with an international production company, which Akış described as a “major deal” that will support the group’s overseas projects. The relocation follows recent high‑profile performances, including a slot at Dua Lipa’s Sunny Hill Festival and growing popularity among young listeners in Turkey.

By shifting to London, Manifest aims to expand its reach beyond the Turkish market and pursue broader European and global opportunities.
