(antiMusic) There have been a ton of notable reunions of late but there is one that fans have been holding their breath in anticipation for and it's finally happening. The most spectacular pop group of all time returns! No, it's not the 1910 Fruitgum Company, not even the Bay City Rollers. This one is even more yummy yummy so we need a drum roll please... It's the Ace of Base! Sarcasm now off. The Swedish popstars who enjoyed a string of "pop" hits during the 90s have announced a string of tour dates, mostly in Russia at the point, but there is speculation of more touring activity to come for those that watch the "signs" .
Now the bad news for our European friends, it turns out that the band will not take part in Eurovision. Their manager, Lasse Karlsson, issued this statement on their website this week: To make some information cleared, In Swedish news papers there have been roomers the last two days about Ace of Base being a possible candidate for participating in the Swedish Eurovision song contest. This is not correct!
Theres never been any official request from SVT (Swedish Television) if the band is interested to participate for Sweden in the Eurovision song contest. So to valuate if or what the band feel about a question they never received seems kind of stupid. Same thing about question about the UK! UK or I should say BBC has never requested the band to participate for them in the Eurovision song contest.
