“We’ve been working for this for 27 years! Performing two sold out shows in NYC and LA this summer was a dream come true, and to be able to come back soon for a nation-wide tour is absolutely insane. We cannot wait to meet everyone for the first time, face to face.” – AQUA

AQUA’s indelible mark on the musical landscape was forged back in 1997 with their debut album Aquarium. A collection that birthed hits like “Turn Back Time,” “Doctor Jones,” and the iconic “Barbie Girl.” The latter, a sensation whose catchy lyrics and vibrant charm had billions worldwide playfully echoing “I’m a Barbie Girl in a Barbie World”. With a music video that encapsulated the whimsy of the era, “Barbie Girl” soared to chart-topping heights, etching itself into the cultural lexicon as an inimitable classic.
 
Reclaiming their position in the limelight, AQUA’s astounding journey continues with the revelation of their “World Tour.” With a remarkable 38 million albums and 7 million singles sold to their name, the group’s signature tunes remain the soundtrack of a generation. The “Barbie Girl” music video, having surpassed a billion views on YouTube, stands tall as a testament to the song’s enduring resonance, even asserting its presence on Instagram Reels.
 
Marking its debut on November 12th in Seattle, the tour will embark on a captivating cross-country journey, hitting iconic venues along the way. Brace yourselves for a kaleidoscopic explosion of 90s wonder, where glitter, pink and pulsating beats reign supreme.
 
In the wake of AQUA’s recent American triumphs, securing a ticket to the AQUA’s World Tour is poised to be a scramble to remember.
