Anyma's promoter files new permit bid to overturn Istanbul concert ban ahead of September 12 show

Turkish authorities revoked permits for Anyma's September 12 Istanbul show after religious groups petitioned the Ministry of Culture claiming the visuals were satanic. The Turkish promoter has submitted a second permit application, including Anyma's denial, asking the government to reconsider. The show was expected to draw roughly 12,000 international attendees. Billboard first reported the appeal on September 8.
