Parkes Shire

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

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.

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.
