Slide show of ABBA GOLD's 2008 Summer Festival shows
ABBA GOLD have been touring the world constantly for many many years, with the current line-up being the same for the last 10 years.
They have performed their live show to nearly 2 million people, played over 2700 gigs and have been on live television and radio worldwide too many times to mention.
The largest show ABBA GOLD ever performed was to was when they headlined a huge festival in 2001 in Aberdeen in front of 93,000 screaming fans.
Also on the bill was Gareth Gates, Darius, Hear'say, The Sugababes and Blazing Squad. And yes, ABBA GOLD WERE the headlining act!!
ABBA GOLD have also sold more tickets than Westlife! This happened when ABBA GOLD played at a venue in County Durham and sold it out. Westlife were there a few month before and didnt sell out.
ABBA GOLD have also worked on the same festival bills as Atomic Kitten, Liberty X, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, Slade, Sweet, Dr. And The Medics, The Tremolos and many many more.
Through out their long career, ABBA GOLD have had many support acts, including 2 Eurovision Song Contest winners!
These are the 1981 winners Bucks Fizz and the 1976 winners Brotherhood of Man.
They were also supported on a theatre tour by Ian Moore, who as Chris DeBurgh, won the Stars In Their Eyes Champion of Champions.
ABBA GOLD headlined a 2 year UK tour with support coming from Boney M and Bucks Fizz.
ABBA GOLD also star in the original DANCING QUEEN show which has been touring Germany, Switzerland and Austria for the last 4 years.
ABBA GOLD 's show has been seen by many famous people, including Sir Richard Branson and Sir Alan Sugar.
In 2007 they toured and performed their "Stunning Stage Tribute to ABBA" in The UK, The Channel Islands, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, The Ukraine and a huge show at The Olympisky Stadium in Moscow, Russia.
80% of these shows were sold out. One venue in Werne, Germany sold out in less that 48 hours.
The Olympisky Stadium in Moscow, Russia was the largest indoor venue that ABBA GOLD performed in during 2007.
In 2007 ABBA GOLD also played the New Wembley Stadium!
Through out their career, in addition to all the countries they played in 2007, ABBA GOLD have also performed in France, Portugal, Spain, Estonia, Bahrain, UAE and South Africa.
So far in 2008 there are dates and tours planned in The UK, Ireland, The Channel Islands, Germany, Belgium, France, Holland, Greece and Italy.
ABBA GOLD can honestly say that is is the greatest honor to have been playing ABBA's magical music for such a long time.

ABBA GOLD at the Hastings Beer Festival, 2006.
"ABBA GOLD breezed into Farnham last week, bringing their stunning two-hour stage tribute to Abba to The Maltings.
This excellent show soon transported the audience, many of whom had dressed in suitable costumes, back into the era of Abba.
All the classic Abba songs, Waterloo, Thank You For The Music, Fernando, Dancing Queen, plus many more, were all superbly performed.
This was the first time a show such as this has been performed in Farnham for many years, but surely not the last.
Indeed, this fine tribute band had the capacity audience dancing in the isles.
An excellent start to the Christmas festivities."
- The Farnham Herald.
"I have been booking bands here for the last 17 years, and ABBA GOLD were the best ever!" - Mr. Brand - Heager, Germany.

"From the beginning when ABBA GOLD took to the stage, they had the audience singing and dancing along with their perfect stageshow." - Neue Rhein Zeitung.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

ABBA GOLD would like to say that they would love to meet the real ABBA.

Unfortunately they cant say that because they already have!!

Movies:


When you have been touring for as many years as ABBA GOLD,
WHAT ELSE?!?!

Television:

ABBA GOLD were features on the BBC program "How to get you dream job" in 2006.

The program was about a girl called Cheryl who was so nervous at interviews, so the production team thought of ways for her to build up her confidence. One way was to perform live onstage with a professional band.

ABBA GOLD had worked with the BBC on numerous occasions, so they asked ABBA GOLD 's Management if the band could perform a special set in London and if Cheryl could perform a song with them.

Cheryl was absolutly terrified but managed to perform "Knowing me, Knowing you" live in stage with ABBA GOLD and dispite her nerves, did a fantastic job!

ABBA GOLD were also mentioned in the recent Channel 5 program "The decade that was: The 70's"

Heroes:

ABBA of course!

Members of ABBA GOLD have many musical heroes and influences ranging from The Beatles to Metallica, from Dream Theater to Zappa to Racmaninov and Shostakovich!

ABBA GOLD are such an open-minded band!
