Formerly known as Musikantenstadl which was produced for over 30 years, the show was remodelled into what is now the Stadlshow in an attempt to attract younger viewers.

The new Stadlshow was broadcast 12 September 2015 and received mainly negative views with the premier show being labelled 'disastrous'[1] and many commenting that Andy Borg, who presented Musikantenstadl for nine years as successor to Karl Moik should return.

Stefan Mross who presents Immer wieder Sonntags stated the new stage set, sound and overall mood of the show was a disaster and he was sad and disappointed.

Another volksmusik legend in the German speaking world Heino came up with a five-point plan for the ORF bosses which included: On 31 December 2015, the new Stadlshow new year special, Silvester-Stadlshow was broadcast live from Linz, Austria.
