Formed in 1999, the band have been performing together for nearly three decades and are known as the world’s number one ABBA tribute act.

Since making their debut in 2018, Symphonic Ibiza have received five-star reviews, as well as being awarded Theatre Weekly’s “Best Event” at Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The act consists of a 15-piece live orchestra with pulsating bass and beats.

Symphonic Ibiza’s own DJ Andy Joyce is originally from Oxfordshire so will be reconnecting with his home roots.

With 17 years of experience working for Heart Radio and hosting his own spin off station, Heart Dance, Toby Anstis’s sound ranges from club classics to old school hits.

Gates open at 6pm on Friday, with performances starting at 7.30pm on Friday and Saturday.
