Johannes B. Kerner and his wife Alina celebrated her 30th birthday with an exclusive party in Berlin, just days before Kerner's commitments at the 'Ein Herz für Kinder' charity gala. The couple's celebration was attended by around 100 guests and marked a special occasion for Alina. Meanwhile, Kerner is preparing for the upcoming New Year's Eve festivities, which this year will be hosted in Hamburg for the first time, due to Berlin's withdrawal from hosting costs. The ZDF New Year's Eve show titled 'Silvester in Concert - Welcome 2026' will be broadcast live from Hamburg's Hafencity, featuring performances by well-known artists including Oli P, Lotto King Karl, and the Tampentrekker shanty choir from Hamburg. DJ Felix Jaehn will also perform throughout the evening, alongside other artists such as Johannes Oerding, Wanda, Blue, ATC, Das Bo, and the cast of 'Michael Jackson the Musical.' The event, moderated by Andrea Kiewel and Johannes B. Kerner, will be accessible to around 10,000 viewers with tickets costing 49 euros, and social tickets at 20 euros. The show has been a tradition since 2010, previously held at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, but this year moves to Hamburg due to financial reasons. Additionally, the Hamburg New Year's Eve party will feature international star DJs, with Vanessa Seifert among the performers. The event aims to provide a festive and musical farewell to 2025 and welcome 2026.
