Manifest, one of Turkey’s fastest-rising pop acts, announced their first ever UK show at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on 16 October 2026.
Already a huge sensation in Turkey, the six-piece group consisting of Esin Bahat, Hilal Yelekçi, Lidya Pınar, Mina Solak, Sueda Uluca and Zeynep Su Okday have rapidly become one of the biggest new pop acts in the country, amassing more than 5.2 million monthly Spotify listeners.
The O2 presale will begin at 10am BST on Wednesday 3 June, followed by the Live Nation and Venue presales at 10am BST on Thursday 4 June.
Formed in February 2025 following the Big5 Türkiye competition organised by Hypers New Media, the group made an immediate impact with debut single “Zamansızdık”, which has since surpassed 57 million Spotify streams. Follow-up single “Arıyo” has amassed more than 62 million Spotify streams, further cementing the group’s meteoric rise and establishing them as one of the most talked-about new acts in Turkish pop.
Their debut album Manifestival, released alongside a dedicated visual film project, made an immediate impact, reaching five million YouTube views and four million Spotify streams within its first 24 hours. All 11 tracks from the album simultaneously entered Turkey’s Top 50 streaming chart, with the album later surpassing 40 million Spotify streams.
The record went on to become the third most-streamed girl group album globally in 2025 and was also ranked 24th on Genius Community’s “Best Albums of 2025” list, further underlining manifest’s rapidly growing international profile.
Recognised as helping bring girl group culture back into the mainstream in Turkey, manifest have built a hugely dedicated fanbase through their music, choreography and high-energy performances, achieving global viral success.
Their momentum accelerated even further with “Hileli”, the group’s May 2026 collaboration with Turkish pop icon Ajda Pekkan. The single debuted at No.1 on Spotify Turkiye’s Top 50 chart and also entered the Spotify Global Top 200 at No.155, while simultaneously reaching No.1 on Deezer Turkey. “Hileli” also attracted significant international attention by trending on YouTube in 14 countries including the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Canada and Belgium. With 1.77 million opening-day streams, the track also became the seventh biggest global opening for a girl group song released in 2026. During its release week, manifest simultaneously topped Spotify’s Weekly Top Artists, Weekly Top Songs, Daily Top Artists and Daily Top Songs charts in Turkey.
Now, following their breakout success at home, manifest are set to bring their acclaimed live show to the UK for the very first time with a landmark performance at OVO Arena Wembley.
Manifest said : “London has always been a city we dreamed of performing in, so announcing our first UK show feels incredibly exciting. We’ve seen so much love from fans outside Turkey and can’t wait to finally perform for everyone there.”
