Overview

  • ARD’s live show drew about 4.55 million viewers for a 25.7% share, while ZDF’s Hamburg broadcast reached roughly 2.47 million and 14.1%, according to early AGF/Quotenmeter data.
  • ZDF outperformed in the 14–49 demographic with around 0.76 million viewers and a 21.8% share, versus 0.54 million and 15.4% for ARD.
  • ZDF’s floating-stage event in Hamburg contended with rain, wind and technical glitches, and on-site turnout was about 9,000—short of a 12,000 target—though presenters kept the show moving.
  • Broadcast from Munich’s BMW Park to ARD/ORF/SRF, the Silbereisen show featured a star-heavy lineup and a sold-out arena of roughly 6,000, with social media noting Maite Kelly’s suggestive opener and Stefan Mross’s live in-ear cable mishap.
  • Howard Carpendale told viewers he is ending large arena tours in 2026 but not retiring, stressing it is a tour farewell rather than a full goodbye.
