The six-member girl group will perform their first British concert this autumn, following a rapid rise in Türkiye and growing international streaming success.
Turkish pop sensation Manifest will be live in London at OVO Arena Wembley on Friday 16 October 2026. Manifesto will become only the second Turkish artists to take to the stage at the iconic venue, following in the footsteps of megastar Tarkan who performed there at back in 2008.
The landmark performance will be the six-piece group’s first show in Britain, with the venue also advertising appearances by as-yet-unannounced special guests. Tickets are currently on sale through the official OVO Arena Wembley, Live Nation, AXS and Ticketmaster channels.
The Manifest six are Esin Bahat, Hilal Yelekçi, Lidya Pınar, Mina Solak, Sueda Uluca and Zeynep Su Okday. The girls’ blend of infectiously catchy pop hooks, electronic dance music (EDM) and smooth R&B grooves has helped them amass more than 7.3* million monthly listeners on Spotify (*stats from July 2026).
The group said performing in the British capital was something they had long hoped to achieve:
“London has always been a city we dreamed of performing in, so announcing our first UK show feels incredibly exciting,” Manifest said.
“We’ve seen so much love from fans outside Turkiye and can’t wait to finally perform for everyone there.”
From Big5 Türkiye to the international stage
Manifest were formed in February 2025 through Big5 Türkiye, the country’s first major girl-group competition, organised by Hypers New Media.
The six members were selected from thousands of applicants after initially competing both alongside and against one another. Their shared ambition and the relationship they developed during the competition ultimately provided the foundations for the group.
Manifest made an immediate impression with their debut single, Zamansızdık, which went on to surpass 57 million streams on Spotify. Its follow-up, Arıyo, attracted more than 62 million Spotify streams, helping establish the newcomers as one of Türkiye’s most talked-about contemporary pop acts.
Their debut album, Manifestival, was accompanied by a specially produced visual film project. According to figures released by the band’s promoters, it achieved five million YouTube views and four million Spotify streams within its first 24 hours.
All 11 tracks from the record entered Spotify Türkiye’s Top 50 at the same time, while the album subsequently passed 40 million Spotify streams. Promoters also described Manifestival as the third most-streamed album by a girl group globally in 2025.
The group’s stunning rise has been fuelled by its modern pop sound, energetic choreography and visually distinctive performances, while its members have sought to draw on their individual experiences and ambitions in developing Manifest’s identity.
Collaboration with Ajda Pekkan
Manifest reached another major milestone in May 2026 when they collaborated with legendary Turkish pop star Ajda Pekkan on the single Hileli.
The track debuted at number one on Spotify Türkiye’s Top 50 and entered Spotify’s Global Top 200 at number 155. It also topped Deezer Türkiye and trended on YouTube in 14 countries, including the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Canada and Belgium.
During the song’s release week, Manifest simultaneously headed Spotify Türkiye’s weekly and daily charts for both artists and songs.
Manifest’s Wembley concert will be an important step in building on the group’s growing popularity with audiences beyond Türkiye. Tickets for their OVO Arena Wembley concert are on sale now through the venue and authorised ticketing platforms.
