The Bjorn Identity are a smash hit sell-out tribute show with unrivalled reviews and much critical acclaim. At it’s heart, the stunning attention to detail in both staging and musicianship makes The Bjorn Identity the most accurate and exciting ‘ABBA live in Concert’ experience seen this side of Sweden. Uncanny vocals, undeniable stage presence, Benny’s famous white Yamaha CP80 piano, and even boasting a ‘real life’ couples means it just can’t get any better!
