In the organizer's words:
DRINKING WINE FEELING FINE – the latest release fromVINCENT GROSS(1996) in a duet with OLAF the Pinball Player (1946). Exactly half a century—a 50-year age gap—separates the two protagonists, but their shared passion for Schlager music brings them together in 2025 for the most beautiful Schlager anthem of the year! As a self-proclaimed Flipper fan, Vincent Gross practically wrote this new song with Olaf in mind. You can’t get any more in the mood for summer than this—light, airy, happy, and soaking up those summer vibes! “DRINKING WINE FEELING FINE” was released on April 11, 2025. Just three days later, the track was promoted as the summer hit of 2025 on the UK’s biggest morning show, BBC Radio 2’s “The Scott Mills Breakfast Show.” DRINKING WINE FEELING FINE subsequently entered the UK iTunes charts at #67 and climbed as high as #10. It’s unbelievable to have a German Schlager song in the British charts!
APEROL SPRITZ – on the Aperol Spritz Tour with Vincent Gross! He’s done it again! Following last year’s summer anthem “OUZO,” Vincent Gross followed up with his “refreshingly hot song,” securing his second summer hit in a row! He’s drinking it now—and this is no joke—Aperol, Aperol, Aperol Spritz! APEROL SPRITZ went viral and through the roof in 2024!!!!! The follow-up techno version featuring Luca Dante Spadafora, Aditotoro, and Paulomuc also gets party-loving hearts racing. APEROL SPRITZ has already racked up well over 10 million streams in total.
OUZO – I drink ouzo, what do you drink? With OUZO, VINCENT GROSS landed the summer hit of 2023. OUZO now has well over 20 million streams, more than 10,000 Creations, and the music video has over 4 million views.
VINCENT GROSShas generated around 50 million streams in the last 12 months. He is a singer, songwriter, and host; with his albums, he is a two-time No. 1 artist in Switzerland and a Top 4 artist in Germany. He has already had five No. 1 singles on the German pop-conservative airplay charts, spending a total of 24 weeks at No. 1. In recent years, Vincent Gross has become a fixture on the pop-schlager scene in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Thanks to his positive charisma and musical talents, VINCENT GROSS has long been a favorite on TV, in the media, and on the charts. He has received numerous prestigious awards, including: the SWR4 Music Prize, the SWR4 Newcomer Award, the SMAGO Newcomer Award, the Ekki Göpelt Young Talent Award, the Radio Bayern-Plus Award for “Schlager of the Year 2018,” and, in 2021, the SMAGO Award for “Most Successful Airplay Artist of 2020.” His video for “Fiesta del Mar” was voted Video of the Year 2022 by schlager.de. In 2024, he was honored with the Solidarsfonds NRW Award.
With GESCHLAGERT, the musician is currently building a new brand. In his studio kitchen, nothing is “shaken”—everything is “Schlager-ized.” Whether it’s rap, evergreens, pop, world music, rock, dance, or old Schlager hits. He performs straight from the heart. Where there’s a melody, Schlager comes out. And who knows—maybe soon it’ll be the other way around, with Schlager-style pop or rock, and we’ll hear a rock version of “Joana.”VINCENT GROSShas been releasing his new singles since 2023 on his own label, GESCHLAGERT, through the Swiss pioneers at “iGroove,” and now through Electrola/Universal Music Germany.
