The band Manifest took the stage at Izmir Culturepark following the arrest of their manager, Tolga Akış. At the end of the concert, footage of the band members bidding an emotional, tearful farewell to the audience became a trending topic on social media. It was claimed that this concert was the band's final performance in Turkey before their scheduled appearance in 2026.
The girl music group known to the public as Manifest came to the fore with striking moments at their Izmir concert following the arrest of their manager Tolga Akış.
Tolga Akış, the founder and manager of the group, was taken into custody on charges of "obscenity, drug use, and laundering of property values derived from crime," and was subsequently arrested on charges of "facilitating obscene publications."
THEY COULDN'T HOLD BACK THEIR TEARS ON STAGE
Following Akış's arrest, Manifest members, who appeared before their fans at Izmir Kültürpark, continued their performance throughout the concert.
When the concert came to an end, emotional moments occurred on stage. The group members, who bid farewell to the audience, couldn't hold back their tears.
The moments when the group left the stage waving with tears in their eyes were recorded by fans with their mobile phones.
"LAST CONCERT" CLAIM
The images, which quickly spread on social media, brought along new claims about the Manifest group.
It was claimed that the concert at Izmir Kültürpark was the group's last concert in Turkey in 2026.
Among the claims were also that Manifest would take a break from concerts in Turkey for a while and focus on activities abroad during this period.
The group members' tearful farewell to the audience at the end of the concert further strengthened the claims that the night could be their last concert.
