Summer Bash Hosted by Giovanni Zarrella, Boasting a Stellar Guest List
Get ready to dance the night away as Germany's much-anticipated Schlager Summer Party is set to bring a star-studded lineup this year. The event, hosted by the charismatic Giovanni Zarrella on ZDF, promises a journey through the decades of music.
Leading the charge is Loona and Judith Hildebrandt, the former singer of the Eurodance group Mr. President, who will take the audience on a trip back to the 90s with their performance. The duo has given the Baccara classic "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" a fresh makeover, promising an electrifying performance.
Sarah Engels, known for her disco-inspired tracks, will bring the disco feeling of the 70s to the party with her fresh version of ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!". The summer hit of the year in the UK, "Drinking Wine Feeling Fine" by Vincent Gross and Olaf der Flipper, is also set to make an appearance, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Ross Antony will provide music from the 80s with his German version of "Walking On Sunshine", while Ricchi E Poveri and Il Volo will entertain the crowd with their timeless hits. Schlager legends Howard Carpendale and Michael Holm will also make an appearance, adding a touch of classic charm to the event.
Heinz Rudolf Kunze will celebrate the 40th anniversary of his mega-hit "Dein ist mein ganzes Herz". The party will also see special appearances from Henning Krautmacher, the former frontman of the Hรถhner, and Cult Rock 'n' Roller Dick Brave, who returns to Germany after a ten-year hiatus.
Semino Rossi and Kerstin Ott will make a rare TV appearance this year, adding to the excitement of the event. However, no specific information about the artists performing at the Schlager Summer Party on August 23, 2025, or which of these artists are new to Zarrella's live shows that year, has been revealed yet.
The "Giovanni Zarrella Show" on ZDF will also feature a Disco Edition, with Vincent Gross and Olaf der Flipper ensuring a great atmosphere. Notably, Giovanni Zarrella replaces Johannes Strate in the show, who had to cancel his planned appearance due to health reasons earlier this year.
Lastly, Linda Hesse and Julia Lindholm have formed the new duo 2theMoonbeats, but no information about their potential performance at the Schlager Summer Party has been announced.
With such an exciting lineup, the Schlager Summer Party is set to be the music event of the year, promising a night filled with nostalgia, fun, and unforgettable performances. So, mark your calendars and get ready to dance the night away!
