BJORN AGAIN Coming to Melbourne

The world's leading ABBA show, Bjorn Again, is returning to its home town, Melbourne, on June 18 AT The Palms at Crown, with a spectacular new show, Arrival Tour 2016.

For the first time, Bjorn Again will perform ABBA's classic album Arrival in its entirety.

As every Australian ABBA fan knows, the song list for Arrival features the band's biggest hits: Dancing Queen, Money Money Money, Knowing Me Knowing You and Fernando.

Released in 1976, it is the album that achieved international stardom for the Swedish pop band 40 years ago, making ABBA the biggest name in the music business. It is a title it would hold for the rest of the decade.

ABBA had truly arrived, and as the iconic Arrival album cover showed, it was by helicopter.

In addition to its exciting tribute to Arrival, Bjorn Again's two hour spectacular Arrival Tour 2016 at Crown Melbourne's showcase concert room The Palms will also feature a set of ABBA's greatest hits from the band's other albums and all staged with Bjorn Again's spot-on style.

The famous tribute band has achieved international stardom in its own right; it has an uncanny ABBA stage presence and sound, mixed with fun "Swenglish" banter and stage antics between the four performers and fellow musicians.

Fully endorsed by the members of ABBA, Bjorn Again was founded in Melbourne in 1988 as a pub parody act and it has gone on to become the most successful tribute band of all time.

Bjorn Again (Australia) has performed over 7000 shows in 100 countries and is the only ABBA tribute band to be endorsed by ABBA.

In 1992 Bjorn Again met Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus in Stockholm. "The ABBA revival was inevitable, but Bjorn Again certainly initiated it," Bjorn said.

For 26 years Bjorn Again has played for fans in major concert venues and for the most private of parties.

It played at the Monaco Grand Prix, at actor Russell Crowe's wedding, comedian Rowan Atkinson's Millennium Eve party, and it even sang Money Money Money to Microsoft's Bill Gates.

In 2012 Bjorn Again played in London at Buckingham Palace's Christmas Party, and band members Benny Anderwear, Frida Longstokin, Bjorn Volvo, Agnetha Falstart and musicians Ola Drumkitt and Rutger Sonofagunn met Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh.

Sell-out venues around the world include the Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall and Wembley.
