Oktoberfest Chief Declares Two Wiesn Hits for 2025

Munich's festival chief says two songs defined this Wiesn, with "Bella Napoli" joining pre-favorite "Wackelkontakt".

Overview

  • Wiesn chief Christian Scharpf said there was no single winner for the annual Wiesn-Hit designation this year.
  • He identified Oimara’s "Wackelkontakt" and Roy Bianco & Die Abbrunzati Boys’ "Bella Napoli" as the standout crowd favorites.
  • Rosenheim musician Michael Fenzl’s contest winner "Bierdringa" was notably present in the beer tents, according to Scharpf.
  • GEMA data indicates the most frequently sung number at Oktoberfest remains "Prosit der Gemütlichkeit", a drinking toast seen as boosting sales.
  • Before the festival, Oimara’s "Wackelkontakt" was widely regarded as the leading contender for Wiesn-Hit.
