Sunday Beats - yara
On Sunday August 17th 2025 yara will be performing at Sunday Beats.

yara know exactly what they stand for: energetic indie rock, infused with sharp-tongued, poetic lyrics and an irrepressible desire to experiment. Their music combines raw emotion with clear expression - always with the feeling that anything is possible. The band - Jakob, Lisa, Gio und Jacque - harmonize not only musically, but also in their shared vision. Their songs focus on togetherness, longing and the urge for something greater. Especially live, they show their full power: with a theatrical presence and a
presence and a fine feel for the audience, they transform concerts into intense experiences, for example at the Elektrik Pony Cup. With their single Maria Hagen, yara make a statement - uncompromising, powerful and full of self-confidence. For them, 2023 is all about the stage: they use every show to further develop their music, try out new songs and draw the audience into their world.

The concert starts at 3 pm and is included in park admission.
