Helene Fischer in Talks to Perform at Lukas Podolski's Glücksgefühle Festival
Organiser Markus Krampe confirmed that discussions have taken place with German singer Helene Fischer about a possible appearance at the Glücksgefühle Festival, which former footballer Lukas Podolski co‑hosts. The festival is scheduled for 3–6 September 2026 at the Hockenheimring in Baden‑Württemberg. Podolski has repeatedly stated that Fischer would be a "great wish and dream" for the event and that he will invite her.
The 2026 lineup already includes acts such as David Guetta, Mark Forster, Andreas Gabalier, Ayliva, Marteria, Scooter, Ski Aggu and the No Angels, but the final program is not settled and surprises remain possible. Fischer is set to perform at a ski‑opening in Schladming‑Dachstein in December 2026 and has recently concluded her "360° Stadion Tour" with 15 concerts drawing roughly 750 000 spectators.
