Schlagerbooom 2026: Bernhard Brink cancels at short notice in Dortmund

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Schlagerbooom 2026: Bernhard Brink cancels at short notice in Dortmund.

The show is sold out, the rehearsal schedule is set — and now, of all times, one of the stars drops out. Bernhard Brink will not be taking the stage on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Florian Silbereisen's "Schlagerbooom" in Dortmund. The cancellation came just days before the live show.

If you were looking forward to his joint appearance with Sonia Liebing, you're out of luck. The Schlager star had originally been booked in Dortmund specifically for that duet — and now that's the very thing falling through.

What is known about the reason for the cancellation

Both magazines report consistently that the decision was sudden and unexpected. According to Bunte, Brink is canceling the appearance "for personal reasons." Focus likewise speaks of a surprising cancellation just days before the live show. What exactly lies behind the "personal reasons" remains open in both outlets — with short-notice celebrity cancellations, the actual cause almost always stays in the private sphere of those involved.

The show goes on — just without Brink and Liebing

The live show itself continues as planned: Saturday, October 17, 2026, live from Dortmund, with Florian Silbereisen as host. Only the program item with Bernhard Brink and Sonia Liebing is off. Whether a replacement will step in at short notice or the gap in the program will be filled differently — neither report provides any information on that.

For you, that means: if you have a ticket, you can attend the show as planned — just without the Brink item on the program.
