Overview

• The Mallorca-Party edition opened outdoors at noon but was cleared after about 10–15 minutes when lightning and heavy rain endangered spectators.
• ZDF activated its Havarieplan to evacuate the open-air venue and seamlessly continued the live show from an indoor studio without the audience.
• Forecasts had warned of up to an 80 percent chance of rain, yet no formal weather warnings were issued before kickoff, prompting reliance on precautionary safety protocols.
• Once the storm eased, the production briefly returned to the outdoor set without spectators, relying solely on staff and performers.
• This swift evacuation echoes a similar 2019 weather-forced relocation and underscores ZDF’s established safety measures and adaptability for live outdoor entertainment.
