Essen, Baldeneysee, March 15, 2026. If Ayliva the stage on August 29, 2026 Seaside Beach When you step inside, the Baldeneysee transforms into her emotional sounding board for an evening. The singer, whose real name is Elif Akar, has become one of the most influential artists in German-language pop in recent years. Her style is a blend of vulnerable honesty, modern R&B elements, and a voice that can be both fragile and powerful.

Live experience: Ayliva at the FISU opening ceremony
I still remember the exact moment when Ayliva was at the opening ceremony of the FISU World University Games 2025 She performed at the Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena in Duisburg. I was there live – and although the stadium is truly enormous, it felt as if she were speaking directly to you. As the first notes rang out, everything around me fell silent. Thousands of people, athletes from all over the world, volunteers, spectators – and yet there was an almost intimate atmosphere in the air. Ayliva has this rare ability to make large stages feel smaller in a pleasant way while simultaneously conveying her energy to every single seat. This performance demonstrated how confidently she performs live and how well she understands how to communicate emotions. She will bring precisely this intensity to the Baldeneysee in the summer of 2026.
