In the organizer's words:

SWR1 Hit Parade - The final 2026

Vote. Permanent listening. Celebrate.

In 2026, the SWR1 listeners will once again decide what happens on stage!
The big SWR1 Hit Parade will take place at the beginning of October - with around 1,000 songs voted for by listeners, which will be played until they reach first place.

At the grand finale in the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle in Stuttgart, the tension mounts:
Which songs will make it into the top 10? Who will take first place? And what surprises will the stage and guests have in store?

Experience live how the SWR1 presenters present the most popular songs of the year - accompanied by rousing live acts, a spectacular stage show and a unique atmosphere.

After the countdown to the #1 hit, it's on to the big final party - celebrate an unforgettable evening full of energy, emotion and music history together with thousands of music fans.
