Mamma Mia, Here We Go Again - Trundle ABBA Festival Returns Next Month

Published on 26 September 2024

Parkes Shire Council is excited to announce the F-ABBA-LOUS lineup for the 2024 Trundle ABBA Festival, set to return on Saturday 19 October 2024. As Australia’s only and original ABBA festival, this year's event will be bigger and better than ever, featuring a spectacular array of performances that will have fans dancing the afternoon and night away.

Headlining the festival is the world-renowned ABBA tribute band, Bjorn Again. These super troupers are back by popular demand after their sensational performance last year, bringing us all ABBA's greatest hits.

Adding to the excitement, the festival will be hosted by Tristan MacManus, best known for his five-season stint on Dancing with The Stars, a co-host of Studio 10 and runner-up on this year's “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”. With his charisma and love for entertainment, Tristan is sure to make this year's festival an unforgettable experience.

Joining the lineup are:

Furnace and the Fundamentals

Prepare to dance like never before with Furnace and the Fundamentals, a six-piece band known for their exhilarating performances and over-the-top antics. Described as "humanity's most exhilarating dance party," these Sydney showmen will deliver an unforgettable party set filled with the greatest songs of all time. From Beyoncé to The Beatles, and everything in between, Furnace and the Fundamentals promise a non-stop party with light-up suits, confetti, inflatables, and more dance-floor anthems than you can count.

Disco Revolution

Step back into the glittering world of the 70s with Disco Revolution, a seven-piece show band that reignites the disco flame with passion and flair. Fronted by two powerhouse vocalists and supported by a talented ensemble of musicians, Disco Revolution delivers an incredible showcase of the greatest disco classics. From ABBA to The Village People, this band will electrify the dance floor and transport you back to the era of liberation and flamboyance. Their interactive and dynamic performances create an inclusive atmosphere that will have everyone dancing and singing along from the very first song.

Andante Andante Choir

For a touch of nostalgia and harmony, the Andante Andante Choir will take the stage to perform ABBA’s most beloved hits. This Canberra-based community choir has been dedicated to performing ABBA’s music since 2004, often performing at charity fundraisers and community events. Known for their heartwarming performances, the Andante Andante Choir will have you singing along to ABBA’s greatest hits and even some of their lesser-known gems.

DJ Diggz

Adding a modern twist to the festival, DJ Diggz will keep the party going with his infectious dance and pop beats. With over 35 years of experience in the music, radio, events, and entertainment industries, Diggz is a seasoned DJ and producer who knows how to get the crowd moving. His current single, "My Obsession," is tearing up dance floors across the country, and he’s ready to bring that same energy to the Trundle ABBA Festival.

This year’s festival marks the 10th anniversary of Trundle ABBA Festival and the 50th anniversary of ABBA’s historic Eurovision win with "Waterloo." Join us for a day of F-ABBA-LOUS fun as we celebrate the music and magic of ABBA in the charming regional town of Trundle.
