AQUA
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', ‘Turn Back Time’, ‘Cartoon Heroes’ and ‘Around The World’.
Get ready for Aquamania to hit our shores!
VENGABOYS
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!’.
BLUE
BLUE
English O.G. boyband, Blue, scored three UK #1 albums and their 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 they perform ‘Best In Me’, ‘All Rise’ and ‘One Love’.
B*WITCHED
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 and Bring It On’s final dance break with ‘Hey Mickey’.
EIFFEL 65
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)’. Eiffel 65’s hypnotic dance pop rhythms on bangers ‘Move Your Body’ and ‘Critical’ were vital in opening Eurodance to a global audience.
LOU BEGA
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 takes no prisoners. Hits ‘Sweet Like Cola’, ‘I Got A Girl’, ‘Boyfriend’ and Bega’s rendition of Tom Jones’ classic ‘Sex Bomb’ bring audiences on their feet.
THE OUTHERE BROTHERS
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 not to be missed!
2 UNLIMITED
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.

MR. PRESIDENT
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!
