Stefanie Hertel and Marco Ventre welcome bands like the Mountain Crew, the Grubertaler, the Draufgänger, the Edlseer, the Südsteirer and Oberkrainer Power, who will warm up the numerous fans in front of the open-air stage. Schlager fans will also get their money’s worth with the performances of Oliver Haidt and Natalie Holzner & Norman Langen and there will also be a reunion with the Nockis, who are traditionally part of the music.
The Seer’s performance is emotional. They are saying goodbye to the stage this year and once had their very first big TV appearance on Musi. For example, Adriana from Villach, Volxrock, the Wildkogel Buam and Uta Bresan from Germany, who have been presenting the successful music request program “Music for You” on MDR for exactly 20 years, are experiencing their music premiere this year. Shooting star Charlien celebrates the TV premiere of her new song. Pop star Tanja Lasch will also present a brand new song for the first time. There’s a real boy band feeling at Team 5ÜNF’s performance. Of course, greats like Nik P. and the Kastelruther Spatzen are not missing from “When the Music Plays”.
Marco Ventre about the Musi-Winter Open Air: “After my premiere last year, I’m looking forward to finally celebrating with the Musi family again, being on stage together with many big stars, but also with newcomers for the very first time!”
