The Winner Takes It All - Bjorn Again Are Coming To York Racecourse

 
Saturday 27th June promises lots of summer music fun as the fabulous BJÖRN AGAIN will round off a relaxed afternoon of sporting and musical entertainment.

Having been acknowledged by non-other than BJÖRN ULVAEUS as being the show that single-handedly initiated the ABBA revival since the late 1980s, the BJÖRN AGAIN show is hailed as the most popular and successful show of its type.

The enduring appeal of ABBA is reflected in the ongoing success of the BJÖRN AGAIN show having amassed 5,000 performances in 72 countries in 31 years. Hailed as the most popular and successful show of its type, BJÖRN AGAIN’s career highlights over the years are many. From performing at Buckingham Palace for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and The Duke of Edinburgh to touring with Cher, Shania Twain and playing at Wembley Arena, London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall, London Palladium and Hyde Park.

Live music from the big stage after the seven races are run, whilst earlier in the afternoon there will be the fun of both racegoer karaoke featuring ABBA songs as well as a Silent Abba Disco. Prizes will also be available for racegoers taking part in the “1970s Fancy Dress Contest”, racegoers are invited to create a stylish look from favourites such as flares, platform boots, 1970s jackets and kipper ties. The ever popular ”selfie stations” will be there to help share the good times with the wider world.

On the track, £150,000 will be won over seven competitive races all backed by William Hill.

Racing and music fans will be able to enjoy all of this from £25 (for an advance booked group of just six), with no booking fees and no parking charges, making it the best value event of its type in the city this summer. Significantly, under 18s will be admitted free of charge with an accompanying adult.

I have seen the group many times and they always put on a top class show with a touch of humour added too.

The tickets for BJÖRN AGAIN and racing officially are now on sale with music and racing fans alike being able to take advantage of some attractive deals by visiting www.yorkracecourse.co.uk or calling 01904 620911.
