Nik P. inspires with son Niklas on the star night on Lake Wörthersee

What a highlight in Carinthia! The "Starnacht am Wörthersee" took place on July 5, 2025 under the direction of the charming moderators Barbara Schöneberger and Hans Sigl. Now part of the Carinthian cultural summer for 25 years, the event in the Starnacht-Arena at the famous Klagenfurter Ostbucht was a real pleasure for all music lovers.

The event brought a colorful line-up to the stage, including pop stars such as Michael Patrick Kelly, Christin Stark, Nino de Angelo, Melissa Naschenweng, Peter Schilling, Bernhard Brink and Kerstin Ott. The appearance of Nik P. (63), who opened the star night with his classic "Born to love you" and was accompanied by his son Niklas Presnik (22), provided particularly emotional moments. This family gang not only touched the audience, but also moderator Hans Sigl, who did not keep his feelings behind the mountain when he presented Niklas to the audience.

an evening full of music and emotions

After the opening, other hits such as "A star (which bears your name)" and "Summertime" followed - all accompanied by the presence and talent of Niklas. But not everything went smoothly that evening: an unfortunate clay breakdown caused a small hurdle, which Barbara Schöneberger mastered with her talent for improvisation. Even if the microphone bitched, the mood in the audience remained terrific.

The "Starnacht am Wörthersee" has experienced a real boom in recent years. From their premiere in 2000 as a replacement for a boxing match to cooperation with German channels and a successful return to the pandemic, the event has continued to develop. On August 16, 2025, the star night is again broadcast as a Eurovision program in the first (ARD) so that the audience also enjoys this musical diversity at home.
