Aqua

No other band represents the late 90’s like the Danish dance-pop group AQUA. The band got their world-wide break back in 1997 with their debut album ‘Aquarium.’ The album contained hit singles like ‘Turn Back Time, ‘Doctor Jones’ and the notorious hit ‘Barbie Girl,’ which upon its release in May 1997 became a global phenomenon, making everyone sing along to the lines “I’m a Barbie Girl, in the Barbie World”.

Thanks to the doll-centered storyline and kitschy music video, which perfectly matched the playful aesthetic of the 90’s perfectly, the single raced to the top of the charts worldwide and became an instant classic. Even though the song sounded tailor-made for children, the lyrics told a different and much more un-child friendly story, which infuriated parents everywhere. Nonetheless, the plastic fantastic song catapulted AQUA into the public consciousness.

The band has sold 38 million albums, 7 million singles and belongs to the absolute elite of music. In recent years, the band has been touring around the world, playing more than 60 shows across 4 continents in the past year alone. 

Early 2022 the music video of Barbie Girl reached more than one billion views on YouTube and to this day is still among the most used songs on Instagram Reels, globally. Fast forward till now, where AQUA was nominated for three Grammys for their collaboration with Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice in 2024 and is now ready to take on the world again with their energetic and mesmerizing live performances!
