Heidi Klum moves HeidiFest broadcast to RTL

Heidi Klum will host her second annual ‘HeidiFest’ at the Munich Hofbräuhaus on Thursday, September 17, 2026. The event serves as a pre-Oktoberfest celebration featuring live music, celebrity guests, and traditional Bavarian elements.

In a notable shift for German television, the broadcast rights for the event have moved from ProSieben to RTL. This change follows reportedly low viewership numbers for the inaugural 2025 edition on ProSieben. RTL has announced that the event will be available via its streaming service, RTL+, and will also be broadcast on linear television, replacing its scheduled UEFA Europa League coverage to accommodate the high interest in the program.

Confirmed guests for the 2026 celebration include Vicky Leandros, Markus, Liz Mitchell of Boney M., La Bouche, Katja Ebstein, and Tony Christie.
