Explosive reaction at Perkins Park.
Perkins Park is set to host a pure Schlager party on August 22, marking the first such event in 45 years. The resurgence of Schlager music in Stuttgart, Germany, is evident, with major stars like Helene Fischer dominating playlists and parties.
Helene Fischer, affectionately known as the "Queen of Schlager," has maintained a strong influence in the region. Her hit song "Atemlos durch die Nacht" was the top-selling song in Germany in 2014, indicating her sustained appeal that extends to areas including Stuttgart.
While specific current party playlists in Stuttgart aren't detailed, the continued popularity of Helene Fischer's hits suggests that her songs remain frequently played at parties in the Stuttgart area and across Germany.
Modern fusion acts with Schlager influence, such as Electric Callboy, also have growing popularity, though their party presence in Stuttgart in particular is less documented.
Schlager music promises a world of healing, creates earworms, and feels like a happy hour away from everyday life. The music is structured simply, offering easily sing-along hits that polarize. It's associated with non-stop dancing and an intoxicating sense of community.
The upcoming Schlager party at Perkins Park is being organized in collaboration with Mr. Mac's Partyteam, who are celebrating their 40th birthday on Friday at the Boa. Steffen Eifert, the boss of Mr. Mac's Partyteam, has been playing Schlager music for years.
The pre-sale for the Schlager party at Perkins Park is running record-breaking. Hundreds of party guests are expected to join the longest Polonaise in Baden-Württemberg. Kitsch is a style in Schlager music, and fans often wear nostalgic or neon-colored clothing with pride.
The Schlager cruises with DJ Manfred, organized by Mr. Mac's Partyteam, have been almost always sold out since 2020. Schlager music has ceased to be "uncool" and has become an invitation to experience a sense of community.
The party at Perkins Park is not the only event celebrating the resurgence of Schlager music. Dieter Thomas Kuhn and Helene Fischer are notable figures in the resurgence, and their hits are among the most popular at Mr. Mac's Partyteam parties in the Stuttgart area.
The top 9 most popular Schlager hits at these parties include "I love life" - Vicky Leandros, "He belongs to me" - Marianne Rosenberg, "Over the clouds" - Dieter Thomas Kuhn, "The train has no brakes" - Lorenz Büffel, "Wobbly contact" - Oimara, "Why didn't you say no?" - Roland Kaiser, "Heartquake" - Helene Fischer, "Yes, I will" - Andrea Berg, and "Bohemian Dream" - DJ Ötzi.
As the date for the Perkins Park party approaches, anticipation grows for a night of non-stop dancing, community, and the catchy tunes that have made Schlager music a staple in Stuttgart's party scene.
Helene Fischer's hits, like "Atemlos durch die Nacht," continue to dominate party playlists in Stuttgart, suggesting that social-media platforms might be filled with fans sharing their excitement for the upcoming Schlager party at Perkins Park. In the lead-up to the event, entertainment-seekers might also discuss favorite Schlager songs on social media, such as "Heartquake" by Helene Fischer or "I love life" by Vicky Leandros.
