Björn Again performed a completely revamped show with 2 contrasting sets - a ballad set and a rock set - which were well received by the audience. The show featured ballads never performed before, including ‘Slipping Through My Fingers’, a poignant song from the ‘Mamma Mia’ movie. Many people loved the unplugged version of Dancing Queen, which may be released later in the year. The second set was a full-on non-stop dance party that had the whole Opera House singing and dancing along like never seen before. What also set this unique show apart is that for the first time ever the band featured an extra 7th performer on stage - Hans Down DeBlouse - who played sax, clarinet, flutes and percussion - which added a very new and refreshing dimension to the show.
