Overview
- Heidi Klum staged the second HeidiFest at Munich’s Hofbräuhaus on 17 September 2026, and RTL aired the live show to a mixed reaction from viewers and critics.
- The billed lineup included about 24 acts spanning Schlager, 90s pop and Eurodance, with high‑profile appearances by Naomi Campbell as a DJ and a later performance by Nicole Scherzinger.
- Roughly 900 guests attended in person, including Klum’s family — husband Tom Kaulitz, daughter Leni, son Henry Samuel and mother Erna — and a long list of national and international celebrities.
- Several news outlets and viewers reported technical problems during the broadcast, notably that Scherzinger’s set was hard to hear on TV because of audio issues and that camera and mic cues sometimes felt disordered.
- AGF data show the program reached about 780,000 viewers for a 4.0% market share while delivering 280,000 viewers and a 9.0% share in the 14–49 demo, a younger‑audience lift that could shape RTL’s live-event plans despite the harsh social‑media backlash.
