THE upbeat sounds of Abba will be entertaining pop fans at Thwaites Empire Theatre this weekend.

Voulez-Vous, who have been a tribute band for over 23 years, will be performing their sell-out show at the Ewood Theatre on Friday, January 24 at 7.30pm.

The band has previously played numerous sell out shows, including performing to over 600 people at Preston Guild Hall.

The original four part Swedish band, made up of Benny, Bjorn, Agnetha and Frida, shot to fame in the 1970s after a string of top ten hits, including Dancing Queen, Waterloo, SOS and Super Trooper.

The theatre themselves have also announced some changes this year. Audience members are now allowed to drink in the auditorium for the first time since the venue opened in 2002.

Chairman Michael Berry said: “Today we recognise that it is common place for entertainment venues to sell drinks in high quality plastic glasses so that patrons can take them into the theatre to enjoy whilst watching a show.”

The changes are being made in hopes of increasing revenue and attracting new audiences.

Tickets are on sale for £16 and are available to buy from the Box Office on 01254 685500 or online on www.thwaitesempiretheatre.co.uk.
