Sunday Beats, the joint concert series of the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg and Stadtpark Mannheim, is already entering its fifth round in 2023!

You definitely shouldn't miss the Sunday Beats finale on 24 September with UNI:
She has a captivating voice with many faces - that's UNI, who brings a breath of fresh air to the German music scene with her Asian-inspired pop.
UNI's genre-crossing musical style, which is reminiscent of a mixture of RnB, soul and hip-hop, has numerous surprises in store for its audience.
On relaxed R&B loops to rousing dance beats, the young artist's vocals take on changeable roles, while she gives her songwriting an unmistakable character through recurring elements.
Both with her personality and in her music, UNI embodies self-confidence and humanity through her sincere lyrics, which create artistic space for her thoughts as well as pride in her roots.

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