There has been speculation for a long time, but it was only confirmed this Thursday evening: ORF is starting the new year in a completely different way than before and is bringing none other than show host Florian Silbereisen (43) on board! The "Kronen Zeitung" knows all the background information. 

Instead of a pre-recorded New Year's Eve show in November, ORF is now planning the big live Eurovision show! And it is the popular entertainer Florian Silbereisen (43) who is presenting the "Silvester-Schlagerbooom 2025" in the basketball arena of FC Bayern Munich (BMW Park)! He replaces "Bergdoktor" star Hans Sigl and singer Francine Jordi. 

Intensive negotiations
For months, ORF, ARD and SRF have been working hard to make this mega-show possible - with success! This Thursday evening, the popular show host signed the contract - he said "yes", so to speak!

So far I have always turned down all New Year's Eve requests. I'm really looking forward to it.

"Special party with lots of stars"
"So far, I've always turned down all New Year's Eve requests. When Andy Borg said that he would be there immediately when New Year's Eve is finally celebrated live again, I immediately agreed. I'm really looking forward to it," says Silbereisen to the "Kronen Zeitung" and adds: "We're counting down to 2025 together. It's going to be a very special party with lots of stars, lots of hits to sing along to and a unique sea of wonderful lights!"

Ticket sales start on Saturday 
Advance ticket sales start next Saturday - at oeticket.com - a little tip: if you want to secure tickets, be quick!

The "Schlagerbooom" has been one of the most successful music shows for years. This year, Silbereisen was a guest in Kitzbühel for the second time with his "Schlagerbooom Open Air". In principle, the 43-year-old is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his show events this year.
