Ayliva is coming to Baldeneyseein summer 2026 for an exclusive open-air concert. On August 29, 2026, the successful pop and R&B artist will perform at Seaside Beach , one of the most popular summerlocations in the Ruhr region.

Impressive stage presence at the FISU World University Games

She recently gave a glimpse of her live presence at the opening ceremony of FISU World University Games at the Schauinsland-Reisen-Stadium in Duisburg. I was there and witnessed how, with impressive composure and a strong stage presence, she created a focused, almost intimate atmosphere even in a packed stadium.

Open-air atmosphere at Seaside Beach as a summer highlight

The Seaside Beach offers an exceptional backdrop for their open-air concert: a sandy beach, a view of the water, and a summery atmosphere that is unparalleled in the Ruhr region. The concert is one of the musical highlights of late summer and is sure to quickly become a must-see event for fans of modern German-language pop music.

Die Fantastischen Vier – Der letzte Bus-Final Tour 26-28 – Live Open Air at Baldeneysee

Die Fantastischen Vier will perform for the fourth and final time on August 29, 2027, as part of their "Der letzte Bus – Final Tour 26-28" at Seaside Beach Baldeney am Baldeneysee in Essen. Exactly two years after their third gig at the beach club Seaside Beach Baldeney, "Fanta 4" will rock the north bank of Baldeneysee with their German rap.

The four musicians from Swabia already performed at the largest Ruhr reservoir in 2017, 2019, and 2025. All three events at venues Seaside Beach and Baldeney were sold out. Tickets are still available – "while supplies last," as they say. For those who missed the three previous concerts, here's a brief recap:

The band's concert at Baldeneysee in 2019 was the grand finale of their "Captain Fantastic Open Air Tour." It took place on a Friday at the end of August and was blessed with perfect weather. Around 20,000 visitors celebrated, and the venue at Baldeneysee in the Seaside Beach Baldeney area provided the perfect backdrop for the event. The performance by Die Fantastischen Vier thrilled the fans, and the atmosphere was absolutely unique.

The lake also shook in 2017 and 2025 when Smudo aka Michael Bernd Schmidt, Michael “Michi” Beck, Thomas D for Dürr – and producer Andreas Rieke aka And.Ypsilon – took to the stage at Baldeneysee. This time, you'll need to be quick and secure your tickets, because this tour is supposed to be the last.
