FRIDAY | Live Music at The Barn Bar during Henley Regatta 2026
Thank you to everyone who joined us for a night of non-stop hits and unforgettable energy on the dance floor this year! Plans for the next ABBA night and soul party at Henley 2026 are still under wraps, but one thing’s for sure – it’s shaping up to be just as spectacular. Whether you’re a disco devotee, a soul lover, or an ABBA superfan, keep your dancing shoes handy and stay tuned for what’s coming next.
ABBA Re-Björn & Wonderband – 2025 Recap
This year, the Henley Royal Regatta sparkled just a little brighter as ABBA Re-Björn Live returned to The Barn Bar stage for another unforgettable night of timeless pop and disco hits. Known as the UK’s leading ABBA tribute band, they delivered a pitch-perfect performance of the songs we all know and love – from Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia to Waterloo – igniting a sea of sequins, platforms, and nonstop dancing.
But the excitement didn’t stop there. New for 2025, Wonderband joined the party, bringing the house down with an irresistible set of Soul, Motown, and Disco classics. With the sounds of Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, The Jackson 5, and more echoing across the riverbanks, the night became a joyful throwback to music’s golden eras.
Guests were transported through decades of unforgettable anthems, surrounded by dazzling lights, an electrifying crowd, and The Barn Bar’s unique riverside energy. From the first note to the final encore, it was a night of pure joy, nostalgia, and rhythm – one that had everyone singing, dancing, and reliving the soundtrack of their lives.
