The Blackouts receive a standing ovation
The Blackouts were founded in 2014 by brothers Elias and Jonas Schneider, Manuel Wildhaber and Raphael Broder. The success story began at a gymnastics evening in Flums SG.
Back then, the four friends were still nameless and now perform full-time on international stages. And now they are set to conquer Great Britain.
As soon as The Blackouts take to the stage during the auditions in the seaside resort of Blackpool, the applause and screams from the audience are unstoppable.
At the end of their performance, they receive a standing ovation that lasts for several minutes. The four-member jury, led by Simon Cowell, then presses the golden buzzer together - which means direct qualification for the semi-finals.
However, there is still a lot of work to be done before they can win this year's "Britain's Got Talent" TV show. The Blackouts are currently busy preparing and rehearsing for their performance in the semi-final. This will take place on Saturday, April 26, in London.
