Minigolf Meets Music: Elaj Feierabendkonzert & Minigolf

Mini-golf, a great view, and live music? We thought that was a fantastic combination! This summer, we’re once again thrilled about our wonderful partnership with the Pop-Büro Region Stuttgart and the mini-golf club at Uhlandshöhe. At “Minigolf Meets Music,” every Friday evening from July 31 through September 4, you’ll find great live music and what might just be the most laid-back stage in town. Admission to the mini-golf course also serves as admission to the concerts.

Amid moving boxes and string lights, Elaj from Heidelberg writes songs in a 13-square-meter shared apartment room. What began as a duo project has now evolved into a band centered around songwriter Elaj, who gets the stage—and every hip in the room—moving. At the heart of Elaj’s music is a duet of guitar melodies and vocals that winds its way through raw questions of their own queer identity and hearts in every state of being. The band’s warm and rhythmic sound comes alive in dynamic live sets: bouncy, guitar-heavy, and emotionally charged. On November 14, 2025, Elaj’s debut EP “Zaubern” was released —five songs that could hardly be more different and yet follow the same inner compass: sometimes melancholic with cello, sometimes stirred up by electric guitar riffs, but always radically open and disarmingly honest. Elaj is part of the 13th generation of Bandsupport Mannheim, performed on stage at this year’s Maifeld Derby, and has already opened for Ceci, LIN, and Juli Gilde.
