About Bjorn Again
Bjorn Again isn't just a tribute band; they are an international phenomenon, a cultural touchstone that has kept the spirit of ABBA alive and thriving for decades. Formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1988, their mission was simple: to perform ABBA’s timeless songs with such authenticity and theatrical flair that audiences would feel like they were witnessing the real deal. They quickly transcended the typical tribute act, developing their own unique, playful personas and a show that blends musical brilliance with clever comedy and genuine audience interaction.
Their success has been monumental, earning them global acclaim and even the endorsement of ABBA members themselves, with Björn Ulvaeus famously stating, "Fans should go and see Bjorn Again! They are the closest you’ll ever get to seeing ABBA." The current lineup, a rotating cast of exceptionally talented musicians and vocalists, meticulously recreates the iconic looks, choreography, and, most importantly, the unmistakable sound of ABBA. Prepare to hear every beloved hit, from the euphoric "Dancing Queen" and the dramatic "Mamma Mia" to the infectious "Waterloo" and the irresistible "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)," all delivered with the energy and precision that has made Bjorn Again a household name. Their enduring appeal lies in their ability to evoke pure joy, making every show a celebration of ABBA's incredible musical legacy.
