Sunday Beats with ENGIN
LUZIFA © Paula Schu
[K]Sunday Beats, the joint concert series of the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg and the Stadtpark Mannheim, is already going into its fifth round in 2023!

On 18 June, LUZIFA will be on stage at the concert shell in Mannheim's Herzogenriedpark from 3 pm.
And this is what awaits you: The contentless and smoothly ironed pop music was quite nice for a while, but let's face it - 2023 needs music that wants to change something. LUZIFA does away with romance and takes a stance as a strong, young woman. Her lyrics are reflective, passionate and critical. LUZIFA also dares to think ahead musically. Because the combination of modern hip hop and guitar-heavy rock is just as underrepresented in the German music landscape as women are in the charts.

More information on LUZIFA can be found here.

Admission to the concert is free, park admission is 3.50 euros, for students 2.50 euros, children up to 15 years 2 euros.
