The summer music event as a Eurovision show on ORF 2 and on ORF ON with exclusive backstage insights
Vienna (OTS) – The “Star Night on Lake Wörthersee” is celebrating its 25th anniversary:
In July 2000, a success story was born – the “Starnacht am Wörthersee” was broadcast for the first time! Back then, stars like Udo Jürgens, Zucchero, Eros Ramazotti, Gloria Gaynor, Paul Young, Chris de Burgh, Johnny Logan, Helene Fischer and many more were on stage. The star line-up at this year’s “Starnacht am Wörthersee” on Saturday, July 13, 2024, at 8:15 p.m. on ORF 2 and on ORF On is once again setting a new milestone in the success story of TV music production: Among them are Christina Sturmer, Melissa Naschenweng, Ben Zucker, Thorsteinn Einarsson, Die Seer, Marianne Rosenberg, Semino Rossi, Michelle, Chris Steger, Christin Stark, DJ Ötzi and Nikotin as well as the “Starnacht” debutants Bülent Ceylan and Folkshilfe. With a lot of humor and charm, Barbara Schöneberger and Hans Sigl will once again lead through the glamorous music night on Lake Wörthersee. New to the anniversary show is the “Sigl on the go” section, in which the presenter discovers interesting things about Lake Wörthersee, a new, larger stage and exclusive insights behind the scenes at “Starnacht Backstage” live on ORF ON. The “Starnacht am Wörthersee” will also be broadcast as a Eurovision show by MDR, HR, NDR and SWR.

Today, June 12, 2024, at the “Villa Lido” in Klagenfurt, the first key points and information about the event and the participating artists were presented at the traditional press conference. Among those present were state governor Peter Kaiser, state councilor Daniel Fellner, ORF Carinthia state director Karin Bernhard, ORF entertainment director Martin Gastinger, “Starnacht” organizer Martin Ramusch (ip media), the mayor of the city of Klagenfurt Christian Scheider, ip-media- Managing Director Gerfried Zmölnig, Tourism Association Chairman Adolf Kulterer, Managing Director Carinthia Advertising Klaus Ehrenbrandtner, Matthias Ortner (Matakustix) as well as Melissa Naschenweng and Thorsteinn Einarsson.
ORF Carinthia regional director Karin Bernhard: “National and international stars from the pop and hit world have been providing a music spectacle on Lake Wörthersee for 25 years. The ‘Starnacht’ is already a comprehensive program focus in the ORF regional studio in Carinthia in the previous week. We from ORF Carinthia provide background reports on the live broadcast, interviews with the organizers, artists, service information and much more. Radio Kärnten also broadcasts the dress rehearsal live, among other things, and gets the audience in the mood for the big TV show the day before. I wish the visitors unforgettable hours in the sunny bay on Lake Wörthersee.”
Martin Gastinger, ORF head of entertainment: “The ambience in the East Bay and the broad musical spectrum with many stars and newcomers, with big hits and new things are part of the long-standing success and give the ‘Starnacht am Wörthersee’ the perfect mix of beautiful images, great Atmosphere and great mood. Last but not least, all of this has made this format a successful Eurovision event since last year. Thanks to all co-partners and the local partners as well as the moderation duo Barbara Schöneberger and Hans Sigl, who make this possible together with us. I congratulate ‘Starnacht’ on its 25th anniversary and wish the creators and the audience many more successful years with sensational shows to sing and dance along to.”
ip-media owner Martin Ramusch: “When I look at a few numbers, I am infinitely proud and grateful of what the ‘Starnacht’ format, which I was able to develop together with Gerhard Draxler, has achieved in 25 years: 330,000 Visitors experienced the ‘Star Nights’ live in the arenas in Pörtschach and Klagenfurt, 43 million were there in front of the TV sets and around 1,100 journalists from home and abroad have been accredited for the ‘Star Night on Lake Wörthersee’ since the beginning. At this point I would like to thank the ORF and our partners and sponsors who have been with us for many years.”
Governor Peter Kaiser: “Building up a good idea for 25 years and constantly developing it further is remarkable, and Martin Ramusch deserves a very special round of applause for this. The beautiful images that go out all over the world and the associated added value are very important for Carinthia. I’ll be there again this year and although I’m not a mountain farmer, I’m really looking forward to Melissa Naschenweng.”
State councilor and disaster officer Daniel Fellner: “We would like to say thank you to the countless volunteers. And not just with words, but with a visit to the ‘Star Night at Lake Wörthersee’. The state of Carinthia is providing 1,500 cards as a thank you for the volunteers’ self-sacrificing work.”
