The Internationally acclaimed BJÖRN AGAIN show was created and founded in 1988 in Melbourne,by Australian musician ROD STEPHEN. Designed as a tongue-in-cheek rocked-up ABBA satire, the show rapidly garnering a global cult status with critical acclaim. Björn Again was recognized for singlehandedly initiating the ABBA revival which brought about ABBA Gold, Muriel’s Wedding and MAMMA MIA! whilst paving the way for the worldwide tribute band phenomenon. ABBA’s enduring appeal with Voyage's triumph is reflected in the ongoing success of Björn Again now in its 37th year, having amassed 5,700 performances in 74 countries. Acknowledged by many within the music industry including ABBA’s Agnetha Fältskog, this typically Australian styled production remains unparalleled and will 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 invitations to open the Glastonbury Festival on the Pyramid stage in 1999, 2009 and 2019.
