• Mross paused the show to honor veteran cameraman HaJü on his final day, prompting a standing ovation as colleagues and audience members paid tribute to his decades of service.
• During his set, Schlager star Andy Borg was caught off guard when a fan handed him a bag of chocolates mid-song, leading to an impromptu backstage handoff.
