After their concert in Istanbul last week, the members of the band Manifest, who were subjected to an investigation, were released under judicial control after being detained. Following these developments, the band announced on their social media account that they have canceled their Turkey tour and directed fans to the sales channels for ticket refunds.
On the evening of September 6, 2025, an investigation was initiated by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office against the Manifest group, which performed at Beşiktaş Küçükçiftlik Park, on charges of "indecent acts" and "exhibitionism." In a statement from the prosecutor's office, it was noted that behaviors contrary to the common moral, decency, and modesty understanding of society were exhibited during the concert. It was recorded that such behaviors could have negative effects, especially on children and young people, and could lead to the deterioration of cultural values. Following the investigation initiated against the Manifest group, the group announced that they had canceled their Turkey tour.
