Next year promises to be an exhilarating one for fans of ABBA, as BJÖRN AGAIN reveals an all-new UK tour for 2025. This tour announcement follows their successful summer appearances at major events like Wilderness, Glastonbury Festival, and Brighton’s Gay Pride, where they captivated audiences with their iconic performances.

Bjorn Again

A Tribute show that became a global phenomenon

BJÖRN AGAIN isn't just any tribute act; it’s a show that has become synonymous with the resurgence of ABBA's music and cultural impact. Founded in 1988 by Australian musician and manager Rod Stephen in Melbourne, the show was conceived as a tongue-in-cheek, rocked-up satire of ABBA. Despite its light-hearted origins, BJÖRN AGAIN quickly achieved global cult status, lauded for its entertaining twist on the classic ABBA sound and style.

The tribute act is widely recognized as the driving force behind the ABBA revival of the 1990s, contributing to the success of ABBA Gold, the beloved film Muriel’s Wedding, and the blockbuster musical MAMMA MIA!. Such is the show's impact that it has received endorsements from the original members of ABBA themselves.

Enduring popularity across decades

Now entering its 37th year, BJÖRN AGAIN continues to draw massive crowds and has solidified its place as the most successful tribute show of all time. With over 5,500 performances in 75 countries and a gross revenue exceeding £45 million, the show’s appeal is evident. More than 100 international musicians and vocalists have graced its stage, supported by a technical crew and staff numbering in the hundreds.

The enduring charm of ABBA's music is mirrored in the ongoing success of BJÖRN AGAIN, which has managed to maintain its relevance and excitement for audiences of all ages. Agnetha Fältskog of ABBA has acknowledged the show’s unique Australian flair, a quality that has kept the production vibrant and in demand.

Star-studded Eedorsements

Over the years, BJÖRN AGAIN has received accolades from some of the biggest names in entertainment. Queen Elizabeth II humorously commented on the show’s late-night schedule during a Christmas party in 2012, saying,

“Welcome to Buckingham Palace, I hope you have a great show...If you are onstage at 11 pm, it’s a bit late for me – I’ll be tucked up in bed by then!”

Agnetha Fältskog praised the show’s authenticity at a TV anniversary party in Stockholm, noting,

“It was a great show. I loved the choreography. It was very true to life. Good luck for the next tour.”

Even Benny Andersson of ABBA marveled at the tribute act's longevity, stating in a 2008 interview,

"BJÖRN AGAIN has been going for twice as long as ABBA did!" Meanwhile, Björn Ulvaeus humorously remarked, “The first time I heard that, I thought it was a very funny name!”

The show’s appeal isn’t limited to musicians alone. Rowan Atkinson, famously known as Mr. Bean, complimented the band during the 2000 Millennium New Year's Eve party, and Kylie Minogue expressed her appreciation after attending a New Year's Eve performance at Wembley Arena in 2006.
