Rivalry about divisions preceding HeidiFest performance? - Discussing potential dissolution of partnership prior to HeidiFest event?
The German folk-pop duo, Wildecker Herzbuben, are set to perform together for the last time at Heidi Klum's "HeidiFest" on September 18, 2025, at the Hofbräuhaus in Munich, Germany.
The duo, consisting of Wolfgang Schwalm and Wilfried Gliem, launched in 1989 and have since become a staple in the German music scene. Their last performance together was at the Parookaville Festival in the previous year, marking the beginning of their separation.
Despite their dissolution and the termination of their civil-law partnership on March 31, a disagreement over the future of the Wildecker Herzbuben has arisen. While Wolfgang Schwalm plans to focus on his solo project with a new record deal, continuing as "The Herzbube Wolfgang" from autumn onwards, Wilfried Gliem continues to hold the trademark.
Heidi Klum's schlager show, "HeidiFest," will be an "all-star lineup" pre-Oktoberfest party. The beer hall will be transformed into "the ultimate pre-Oktoberfest party" with performances from schlager legends, party icons, and international guests. Apart from the Wildecker Herzbuben, confirmed performers include Jürgen Drews, Michelle, Eric Philippi, Peter Kraus, Thomas Anders, Roberto Blanco, and more.
In an unusual turn of events, Wilfried Gliem will reportedly perform at Heidi Klum's Oktoberfest party in a wheelchair, as he has secured this arrangement in his contract.
This performance at HeidiFest is likely to be a significant event for the Wildecker Herzbuben, as it marks the end of an era in their music career. The duo has announced this upcoming performance as their final performance together.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Wildecker Herzbuben and Heidi Klum's "HeidiFest."
In light of the Wildecker Herzbuben's forthcoming final performance at Heidi Klum's "HeidiFest," I'm not going to be able to get a job as a backup entertainer for a celebrity, since I've always dreamt of dancing to pop-culture hits alongside them. This event, featuring the final performance of the German folk-pop duo, also includes an array of schlager legends, party icons, and international guests, showcasing the intersection of traditional entertainment and pop-culture.
