Björn Again

Björn Again are playing The Royal Hall on Sunday 21 March 2027, as part of a 25-date tour. They're an Australian ABBA homage show, and they've been at it for 39 years, with over 5,800 shows staged across 78 countries. It's a long run, and they've built a fair bit of a reputation around it.

There's a bit of a story to how it started. Rod Stephen put the show together after leaving metallurgical research at 29, inspired by the musicianship and theatrics of the New Zealand band Split Enz. He weighed up The Beatles, Queen and ABBA, and settled on the latter as the best fit for a show that revisits the music and fashion of the 1970s. Björn Ulvaeus himself has acknowledged it as the show that single-handedly kicked off the ABBA revival in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it's widely regarded as the most popular and successful show of its kind.

The venue is The Royal Hall, which is one of the few Frank Matcham theatres still left in the UK — often described as Harrogate's 'glittering palace of gold'. It's part of the Harrogate Convention Centre on Ripon Road, HG1 2SY.

Tickets range from £28.00 to £96.00, and the show starts at 7:30pm.
