New stars in the carnival ring: Who will be the SSC winner in 2025?

The STEHUNGvision Song Contest (SSC) of the Gonsenheim Carneval Association (GCV) is going into the next round! The spectacular event will take place on January 11, 2025 at the Cultural Center (KUZ) in Mainz, where a new title holder will be chosen. After the Bockius brothers from “Dobbelbock” remained undefeated in the last three years, the organizers now guarantee: “There will definitely be new winners!” How mainzund.de reports, this time twelve new bands from different parts of the city will be competing against each other, including “Handkäs un sei Mussig” and “Johannes Bersch” alias “Moguntia”. Each district is represented by a musical act, and the audience has the opportunity to vote both on site and via livestream.

A celebration of diversity

As part of the SSC, the participating bands will present their original campaign songs, and the winner will be awarded the prestigious “Gläsernen STEHER”. This special award honors the creativity of the Mainz music scene and strengthens the character of the carnival competition. The event organizers make it clear that the SSC is not only a platform for established artists, but also for new talent. Last but not least, the event, which starts at 7:30 p.m., has enjoyed a growing viewership in recent years, and the live stream allows fans staying at home to immerse themselves in the action. Like the organizer on happeningnext.com notes, every evening becomes an experience, as the audience can choose their favorite song in a direct vote at the end.

The ticket prices are varied, so tickets for a live visit to the KUZ cost between 22 euros and 5 euros for the live stream. This year the event is also hosted by RPR1. who even explore a wildcard for new talent as part of the competition. Fans of Mainz and Carnival can look forward to a thrilling evening full of hot music and rousing performances!
