Andrea Kiewel and Johannes B. Kerner really pop the corks at the New Year's Eve show "Willkommen 2022".
A guest grants unusually private insights.
Berlin - The old year is slowly coming to an end, Christmas is over and 2022 is already in the starting blocks: New Year's Eve is just around the corner and, like every year, will be celebrated.
In the ZDF New Year's Eve show "Willkommen 2022", Andrea Kiewel and Johannes B. Kerner traditionally slide into the New Year with their guests and welcome national and international guests.
On Friday, December 31, 2021, the moderators will ring in the big party from 8.15 p.m. live from the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
An appearance promises unusual insights into the life of a minister.
ZDF: New Year's Eve show with musical highlights
Germany's largest New Year's Eve show "Willkommen 2022" wants to start the new year with the who's who of the celebrity world.
Among others, singer Adel Tawil, star DJ Alle Farben, the duo Glasperlenspiel, Tom Beck, Dieter Hallervorden and Marianne Rosenberg will appear on stage.
But also stars like Bonnie Tyler, Art Garfunkel jr.
and the singer-songwriter Kelvin Jones should put the audience in a celebratory mood.
Due to the corona pandemic, there will be no audience on site, which is why some acts will not perform on site.
The ZDF is therefore promising exclusive insights into the private four walls of some well-known people by switching live.
"Welcome 2022" with large fireworks at the Brandenburg Gate
According to information from the dpa, the New Year's Eve show will be implemented as a television production without a live audience "to protect everyone involved," the organizer announced to Silvester in Berlin.
Stricter rules have recently come into effect in Germany again.
Contact restrictions and a firecracker ban are intended to prevent overloading of the health system on and after New Year's Eve.
In order to bring some light shine into German households, fireworks are planned on the stage at the Brandenburg Gate, as a spokeswoman for the organizer announced.
"The traditional high-altitude fireworks will be dropped this year".
All of this takes place under the motto “Celebrate at the Gate”.
