Heidi Klum’s ‘HeidiFest’ Debut Wins Buzz, Falls Short in Key Ratings

The live Hofbräuhaus broadcast delivered a 5.9% audience share in the 14–49 demographic.

Overview

  • ProSieben aired the pre-Wiesn special live from Munich’s Hofbräuhaus on 18 September with Schlager names including Jürgen Drews, Roberto Blanco and Kerstin Ott.
  • Viewers on social media praised the party vibe, with some calling the show a livelier alternative to long-running formats like the Fernsehgarten.
  • Critics highlighted widespread playback performances and a loose concept, and several noted that Klum herself appeared only sporadically on screen.
  • Klum wove in family moments, singing “Ti amo” to Tom Kaulitz, dancing on benches, and bringing all four children to the event before roughly 700 guests.
  • Follow-up coverage noted an ARD Brisant caption slip that briefly misidentified Leni Klum, while photos from the Oktoberfest showed the Klum–Kaulitz group socializing with Dorothee Bär, Alexander Dobrindt and Lars Klingbeil.
