Musikantenstadl is a live television entertainment program broadcast in the German language throughout Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

It is currently hosted by Andy Borg and its location of broadcast varies between towns in different regions in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

The first Musikantenstadl was broadcast in Enns Austria and mainly consists of easy listening, catchy music (Schlager and Volkstümliche Musik) and conversations between the presenter, musicians and members of the audience.

Each episode which is referred to as a Stadl is broadcast from different locations in either Austria, Switzerland, Germany and sometimes South Tyrol in front of a live audience at a large city or small town arena.

The audience members sit at long tables in a German beer house style and are served drinks from a bar.

In 2005 the original theme music Trumpet Echo was replaced with the new Stadlzeit which also includes words which are sung by Andy Borg at the opening and closing of each show.

The stadl special features a 'kiss-cam' whereby camera crew select couples throughout the night from the audience who then give each other a New Year's Eve kiss on TV.

Stadlstern or Barnstar for the English translation is awarded to a volksmusik singer or group live on Silvesterstadl following a public vote.

Musikantenstadl's first episode was broadcast from Enns, Austria on 5 March 1981 hosted by Karl Moik along with Hias Mayer a comedian.

The broadcast has had mixed views from British people who are aware of it with some positives [5] to the point where some have questioned if a similar style of program to Musikantenstadl could work in Britain.
