Turkish girl group Manifest brought the festival named after them to Istanbul twice in summer 2025, to the Lifepark Concert Area in the forest: first on 28–29 June, then again on 30–31 August. Planned as a weekend escape rather than a single concert, both editions ran all day.
The first Manifestival: 28–29 June 2025
The first edition lasted two days and welcomed nearly 24,000 people. All six members of Manifest, Sueda, Hilal, Lidya, Zeynep Oktay, Mina and Esin, played each evening. Aydeed, M Lisa, Sena Şahin, Tuana and Den Ze performed through the day, and MP3 kept the pace up with a DJ set.
LED visuals, lighting design and dance performances turned Manifest’s set into a show, while themed areas and food stops made the grounds a festival campus for two days.
The songs
- Zamansızdık
- Arıyo
- KTS
- Snap
- Yaşanacaksa
The group’s album “Manifestival” had come out shortly before, on 13 June 2025.
Round two before summer ended: Manifestival 2
After June, Manifest returned to Lifepark on 30–31 August 2025 for Manifestival 2. Doors opened at 13:00 on both days, Manifest played each evening, and workshops, interactive activities and stage shows ran through the day. Under-18s could attend with an extra wristband, and under-14s with a parent.
