In the summer of 2019, Frontier Touring and Arena Touring will introduce Australia and New Zealand to the ultimate throwback pop experience: So Pop. The concert series will bring the biggest names of 90's pop to the stage in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Auckland and Brisbane for one night only, transforming each venue into the school disco that you’ll wish never ends.
So Pop will blast cities around the country to the glory days of the 90's and 00's: we’re talking cargo pants, butterfly clips, Tazos and enough glitter that you’ll be shimmering for days.
Bringing a line-up of 90's pop royalty down under this summer, the first class of So Pop has collectively sold over 120 million records worldwide and are responsible for some of the biggest party tunes of our time. Catch all these everlasting classics performed live on the one stage during an epic four-hour extravaganza - it’s going to be all that and a bag of chips!
AQUA - The greatest pop phenomenon
Denmark has ever seen, the one and only Aqua
will grace the stage at So Pop in summer 2019. Bursting onto the scene with
1997’s debut album Aquarium
(6x ARIA Platinum), Aqua’s quirky bubblegum pop resulted in undisputed ‘90s
anthems Barbie Girl, My Oh My and Turn Back Time.
Their knack for catchy pop tunes resulted in sophomore album hits Cartoon Heroes and Around The World and after a transitional
break, the stars returned to the studio for ambitious and bold third album Megalomania . When Aquamania
hits our shores, Doctor Jones has the only cure - secure your
tickets to So Pop ASAP!
VENGABOYS -If you like to party, get ready to jump on the Vengabus! Dutch
Eurodance idols Vengaboys
are bringing all their undeniable classics this summer. Winners of the World
Music Award for ‘Best-Selling Dance Group’ in 2001, Vengaboys wrote the rules
on infectious pop hooks with hits like Boom Boom Boom Boom!!, We Like To Party (The Vengabus) and We’re Going To Ibiza!.
Their eccentric style enraptured fans with each singer offering a unique flare:
Cowboy Donnie, Captain Kim, PartyGirl D’Nice and SailorBoy Robin.
Vengaboys’ mesmerising live performance will transport crowds back to the ‘00s
and have them dancing like they’re Uncle John from Jamaica - don’t miss out!
BLUE - English O.G. boyband, Blue, will bring
their slammin’ moves and party catalogue to So Pop in January 2019. With three
UK #1 albums under their belt, Blue’s soulful harmonies and slick production
saw them team up with Stevie Wonder and Angie Stone for their own rendition of Signed Sealed Delivered, with Elton John for
their brutal love ballad Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word and with
Lil Kim for guaranteed party starter Get Down On It.
Blue’s silky vocals will make the ladies swoon when Best In Me is performed live alongside hits All Rise and One Love. Get your posse together, it’s the
night you don’t want to miss!
B*WITCHED - Ladies, get in formation as Irish pop
queens B*Witched
keep those classic dance moves coming. Their 1998 self-titled album debut was a
huge charting success, with fresh singles C’est la Vie, Rollercoaster, To You I Belong and Blame It On The Weatherman making B*Witched
the youngest girl group to have a #1 in the UK.
Icons of the era, B*Witched are the signature vocals behind the Sabrina the Teenage Witch
cartoon theme song, Bring
It On’s final dance break with Hey Mickey, and have released their own
rendition of ABBA’s Does Your Mother Know after appearing on
tribute single Thank ABBA For The Music. When B*Witched
land on the So Pop stage, the only option is to Rev It Up.
EIFFEL
65 - Italy’s favourite
dance-pop three-piece Eiffel
65 will be taking over So Pop. The world’s best- selling
Italian group in 2000, Eiffel 65 exploded onto the scene with their pioneering
pitch correction sound on Grammy-nominated single Blue (Da Ba Dee).
1999’s debut album Europop
is widely considered a landmark album for the 90's, vital in opening Eurodance
to a global audience. Eiffel 65’s hypnotic dance pop rhythms on bangers Move Your Body and Critical are about to turn up the heat at So
Pop and you won’t want to miss it!
LOU BEGA — Stylin’ mambo king Lou Bega will win over audiences at So Pop with his fun and passionate live show. Topping the 1999 Australian Singles Chart for eight consecutive weeks with mammoth hit Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of…), Bega’s Latin flare will take no prisoners at So Pop. Hits Sweet Like Cola, I Got A Girl, Boyfriend and Bega’s rendition of Tom Jones’ classic Sex Bomb will have audiences on their feet - make sure you’re there!
THE OUTHERE BROTHERS — American hip house and Eurodance duo The Outhere Brothers will be bringing the party vibes down under and you won’t want to miss it. With upbeat boisterous jams Boom Boom Boom, Don’t Stop (Wiggle Wiggle) and Pass The Toilet Paper, The Outhere Brothers are about to take So Pop off the heezy.
2 UNLIMITED - Belgium x Netherlands dance maestros 2 Unlimited join the roster of pop royalty with their high energy tight tunes No Limit, Tribal Dance and Twilight Zone commanding stages across the nation. Innovators of EDM, 2 Unlimited will bring a wave of nostalgia with their contagious quirk, Get Ready for it!
MR. PRESIDENT - Rounding out the A-Class list of music icons is Germany’s Mr. President. Finding global success with undeniable jams Coco Jambo, Up’n Away, I Gave You My Heart, Mr. President will transform the So Pop stage to a non-stop dance-a-thon!
Think it can’t get any
better? As if! Hosting the evening In New Zealand, will be the one and only Suzanne Paul!
Suzanne has been regular on kiwi television over the past three decades,
whether it be advertising Natural Glow, the Suzanne Clip, Massage Pillow, or
dancing her way to the top on Dancing With The Stars or even teaching us her
very own dance The Blue Monkey! Suzanne is sure to be a highlight in this
massive concert line up.
Secure your spot at So Pop this summer! Don’t miss out on an epic night with
these ‘90s pop legends - time to get jiggy with it!
