Vienna, July 13, 2026
Helene Fischer mastered a costume malfunction with humor on Saturday evening in front of around 57,500 visitors at the Vienna Ernst-Happel-Stadion, when the zipper of her glittering blue stage bodysuit broke just before the song "Fehlerfrei."
Helene Fischer noticed the problem immediately before the song "Fehlerfrei" and addressed her audience directly. "Ja, ihr habt wahrscheinlich schon gemerkt, irgendwas ist anders an der Fischer," she said with a smile. The singer explained that the costume was now "a bit loose" and continued her show without interruption. "Ich trage in Wien rückenfrei, denn der Reißverschluss ist kaputtgegangen, ja," said Fischer on stage.

The 41-year-old schlager singer also joked that the costume had survived eleven shows and had decided to give up on this particular evening. No one was to blame — it was a material defect, Fischer said according to reports. "Das ist Helene!" — with this exclamation, one user on Instagram commented on the performance.
