Overview
- Heidi Klum staged the second HeidiFest at Munich's Hofbräuhaus on Thursday, Sept. 17, and the event was shown live on RTL and streamed on RTL+.
- The 2026 edition moved from ProSieben to RTL and grew into a TV-focused production with about 24 music acts and roughly 900 invited guests.
- Supermodel Naomi Campbell performed a DJ set on the Hofbräuhaus stage and Nicole Scherzinger later appeared to sing 'Don't Cha' after initial uncertainty about her arrival.
- Schlager star Roberto Blanco declined an invitation, telling the Abendzeitung he was 'booked' and citing travel and scheduling between his Switzerland and Mallorca homes.
- Klum attended with family members and brought her small dog Fritz, which drew social-media criticism over the animal's presence at the crowded event.
