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.
