The New Zealand ABBA Tribute Band – ABBA HEAVEN! is based in Auckland, New Zealand.  It is 4 piece with all live vocals. Agnetha is performed by Ness Abernerthy and Frida is performed by Pauline Berry, with guitarist and keyboardist John Gorbey as Benny and Karl Donovan as Bjorn.

The band travels nationwide performing at private parties, clubs, corporate events, festivals, balls, and other milestone and promotional events.  ABBA HEAVEN! has garnered excellent word of mouth reputation and nationwide fans.

WHAT’S NEXT?!  In 2026 this line-up expands to include the next generation of female vocalists to pay tribute to Swedish Supergroup ABBA! with new female vocalists as Agnetha and Frida, respectively Karenina Jackson and Serene Boulton  (Ness and Pauline on backing vocals and are understudies), a 6-8 piece line-up called SUPER TROUPER.

Some material from ABBA’s 2023 album will be performed by Ness & Pauline on lead vocals, with the most famous ABBA songs from the 70s and 80s being performed by the younger vocalists.

Thus a larger lineup and higher hireage fee, with six vocalists, keyboards, guitars and drummer.  It will be suitable for headline acts at festivals, large corporate events and available internationally.

Both lineups will be available, with current lineup ABBA HEAVEN! continuing to be booked as 4-5 piece and SUPER TROUPER being hireable as a 6-8 piece lineup from March 2026.
