SWR Pulls May ‘Schlager‑Spaß’ Episode, Replaces It With Best‑of

The move prioritizes production of a larger open‑air edition in July.

Overview

  • Fans will get a compilation show instead of a new episode as SWR schedules a Best‑of for May 23.
  • SWR cited programming needs tied to preparations for the summer edition as the reason for the change.
  • The broadcaster confirmed a ‘Sommer‑Spaß mit Andy Borg’ open‑air recording for July 25 at Europa‑Park in Rust and said the Andy Borg format is secure.
  • The May Best‑of will feature a large guest roster that includes Bata Illic, Heino, Die jungen Zillertaler, Thomas Anders, Florian Silbereisen and Beatrice Egli.
  • The spring run continues as Peter Kraus performs a first father‑son duet with Mike Kraus on the April 18 show, and the pair plan a joint farewell tour in 2027.
