Bjorn Again

Following critically acclaimed performances at Wilderness and Glastonbury Festival this summer, BJÖRN AGAIN announces a brand-new UK and Ireland tour for 2025.

The tour will commence on September 26th at the iconic Brighton Centre, traversing the UK and Ireland and performing at some of the most prestigious venues, including a flagship show at The London Palladium on October 14th 2025.

The Internationally acclaimed BJÖRN AGAIN show was created and founded in 1988 in Melbourne, by Australian musician/manager ROD STEPHEN. Since then, BJÖRN AGAIN has been hailed as the most successful tribute show of all time, and is the only ABBA tribute show globally to have been endorsed by the original members of ABBA.

Designed as a tongue-in-cheek rocked-up light-hearted ABBA satire, the show rapidly achieved worldwide cult status with critical acclaim and was acknowledged for singlehandedly initiating the ABBA revival, which brought about ABBA Gold, Muriel’s wedding and MAMMA MIA! 

ABBA’s enduring appeal with the success of ABBA Voyage is reflected in the ongoing success of Björn Again, now in its 37th year, having amassed 5,500 performances in 75 countries and having grossed world-wide over £45 Million. Additionally, over 100 international musicians and vocalists and 400 technical crew/support staff have been part of the show.

Acknowledged from many sources including ABBA’s own Agnetha Fältskog, the show aims to keep its typically Australian production at the top and to continue for as long as people want to hear the much-loved ABBA repertoire, performed in Björn Again’s unique style as evidenced by the invitation for Björn Again to open the Glastonbury Festival in 1999, 2009 and 2019.

Tickets on sale Friday 30th August at 10am from yorkbarbican.co.uk
