Is Manifest leaving Turkey? Statement on London claims

The group Manifest, which entered the music scene following the Big5 Turkey competition held in 2025 and quickly reached a wide fan base, has now come to the agenda with relocation rumors.

Statements that the group's shared house in Istanbul would be closed and replaced by a shared house in London led to comments on social media that "Manifest is moving to London."

Following the growth of these claims, the group's manager, Tolga Akış, made a statement. Akış stated that Manifest would not be leaving Turkey and would not be abandoning Istanbul, explaining that the shared house in London would be used within the scope of international projects.

"RELOCATION IS NOT ON THE AGENDA"

Stating that there is a misconception regarding the issue, Tolga Akış said, "There is no question of Manifest moving to London. We are closing the shared house in Istanbul because the members are now creating their own individual living spaces. London will be a location where we will conduct our global work and collaborations." Thus, he denied the relocation rumors that had been raised about the group.
