BJORN AGAIN – The World’s Number One ABBA Show
Bjorn Again is the world’s number one ABBA tribute band. Formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1988, the band has now toured over 120 countries to international critical acclaim. Proclaimed as ‘one of the most entertaining shows in the world’, the band performs all the biggest ABBA hits in a dazzling world class production. At any moment the audience turns into a mosh pit during ‘Dancing Queen’, is dialling imaginary phones in ‘Ring Ring’, is screaming ‘Gimme Gimme Gimme’ at the top of their lungs or crying during ‘I Have a Dream’ or ‘Winner Takes It All’. The show can also feature extra performers, insane drums solos and many unexpected theatrics. Oh, and there is also a healthy dose of satire as well. The show is a lot of fun and a great night out for the whole family. In fact, the band has adopted a new legion of young fans who adore the ‘Mamma Mia’ movies. All this has Bjorn Again as one of the most popular bands and made them a household name world-wide.
