Manifest had cancelled its Türkiye tour... The first statement came from Tolga Akış!

Manifest, which performed its first 18-person concert at KüçükÇiftlik Park on September 6, was investigated for "indecent behavior" and "exhibitionism" due to its dancing and performances. After giving their statements to the prosecutor, the band members were released with an international travel ban and a signature requirement.

Access to concert footage was blocked on the grounds of “protecting national security and public order.”

TOUR CANCELLATION ANNOUNCED ON SOCIAL MEDIA

The band, which was preparing to embark on a Turkish tour, announced the cancellation on social media. Tolga Akış, founder of Hypers, to which Manifest is affiliated, made the first statement on the matter.

Akış used the following expressions in its post:

The situation we've been experiencing recently is well known to everyone. Our legal team and I have been meticulously managing this process from the outset. Unfortunately, we don't currently have a healthy environment in which to hold our tour. We know you're eagerly awaiting Manifest, but we must consider everyone's safety and the potential risks during this sensitive period. We're all exhausted. We're confident we'll be back with even more enthusiasm soon. Thank you for your understanding.
