Overview
- The live broadcast from Berlin’s Velodrom marks Fischer’s first major stage appearance since her 2025 baby break and acknowledges her 20th career year.
- Host Florian Silbereisen says she will neither rehearse nor enter the hall before showtime, promising an on-air surprise.
- Fans chose the ten-song medley in an online vote held since Christmas, with the final selection kept secret until the show.
- ARD lists a familiar guest roster including Howard Carpendale, Maite Kelly, Roland Kaiser and Unheilig, while social-media complaints and an expert analysis point to fatigue with the show’s repetition; promoter Semmel also says Michelle’s slot will be her final TV appearance.
- The performance sets up Fischer’s announced “360 Grad” stadium tour running June to July across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and a date in Amsterdam.
