Last weekend, Mamma Mia! The Party opened its doors in the Netherlands.    The show, which fuses ABBA’s legendary music, an adapted story created by Björn Ulvaeus, and a Greek dining experience in a local island taverna, is the most recent addition to Pophouse.   The premiere, attended by band-member and co-founder of Pophouse Björn Ulvaeus, marks Rotterdam as the fourth European host of The Party, following London, Stockholm, and Gothenburg.    The IP license, acquired by Pophouse earlier in 2024, includes the rights to roll the show out further afield. Exciting plans are in the works to take the show global, with potential stops in the USA, Australia, and Japan... Fun developments are on the horizon! #MammaMiaTheParty #ABBA #Rotterdam #ImmersiveDining

This week Pophouse representatives Kim Nyström and Claire Houghton-Price delivered together a compelling presentation to the audience at Paradigms on the future of ‘brand’. Hosted in Rome this year, Kim and Claire were the first on stage, sharing their experiences and insights into how brands can maintain relevance and attract new audiences. They touched on the unprecedented trend of artists’ catalogues being acquired, while streaming and changing consumer behaviours shape the future of the entertainment industry. A big thank you to Rebecca Harmer and all the Paradigms personnel for curating such a wonderful event in Rome. #paradigms2024 #paradigmsrome2024

Last week Pophouse CEO Per Sundin was a speaker at the Financial Times Business of Entertainment Summit in LA, participating in a wide-ranging on-stage discussion with Anna Nicolaou on ‘driving entertainment experience revenues’. Per covered a lot of ground: from the music catalogue business to our expertise in artist legacy enhancement, and from the intersection of live entertainment and technology to the power of residencies. 2024 has been a monumental year for Pophouse. We acquired the catalogue and IP of legendary rock band KISS and entered into a partnership with award-winning singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper. ABBA Voyage, in which Pophouse Entertainment is a founding investor, has surpassed 2.7mn ticket sales. What comes next - for Pophouse and our portfolio of artists - is even more exciting. #BusinessofEntertainmentSummit #FinancialTimes

Pophouse Co-founder Conni Jonsson sat down with Bloomberg's Rafaela Lindeberg to discuss how we are moving into a transformational period for the music and entertainment industries.   Conni shares his thoughts on how global artists in partnership with Pophouse – including the likes of KISS, Cyndi Lauper, Swedish House Mafia, and Avicii – are leveraging Pophouse’s creative strategies to craft bespoke and completely new experiences.    He also talks about how music labels have started to recognise the value in their back catalogues and, as Conni puts it: “people have started to see what you can do with intellectual property if you control the right rights.”   The article highlights that Pophouse has acquired the licencing and performing rights for Mamma Mia! The Party in London and Stockholm, an immersive theatrical dining experience created by Pophouse Co-founder and ABBA member, Björn Ulvaeus. The show builds on the success of ABBA Voyage, the groundbreaking avatar concert experience in London that has now already sold over two million tickets.   Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/dW6d-pDp   #PrivateEquity #MusicIndustry #MusicInvestment #MammaMiaTheParty

We were excited to attend #SuperReturn2024 this week to see our Co-Founders, Björn Ulvaeus and Conni Jonsson, deliver their captivating Keynote exploring the investment opportunities in the music and entertainment industry.   Björn and Conni were joined by our Head of Capital Raising and IR, Natalia Fontecha, CAIA, discussing the attraction of music as an asset class, our unique artist-centric and value-add private equity strategy, and why you should invest in music!   We were thrilled to meet with so many of you in Berlin, and we hope to see you all again very soon.   #MusicInvestment #MusicIndustry #PrivateEquity #InvestorRelations

Today marks yet another major milestone for Avicii’s music, proving the lasting impact of Tim’s creative legacy, as ‘Hey Brother’ has reached one billion streams on Spotify! ‘Hey Brother’, and the rest of the ‘True’ album, was a turning point where he took a risk, but which ultimately revealed his skill as an artist, bringing elements of other genres to dance music in an unexpected, boundary-pushing, and very successful way.   Five songs have now reached the one billion streams landmark; a tremendous moment that stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Avicii’s music and its continuous support from fans worldwide.   We are delighted to share this new interview with Dan Tyminski, the American bluegrass singer-songwriter and Hey Brother vocalist, where he shares a glimpse of the story behind the song and how the collaboration with Avicii came about. #Pophouse #Avicii #Heybrother #1billionstreams #creativity

I recently had the opportunity to discuss the future of the music industry on @BBCNews TV’s Talking Business show. I enjoyed outlining Pophouse's commitment to reshaping music catalogues and our groundbreaking projects such as ABBA Voyage, KISS, and Avicii.   In addition to discussing Pophouse Entertainment’s mission, we also explored the potential for avatar performances to revive iconic artists who are no longer with us, and what considerations need to be made before diving into such a project.   UK viewers can watch the full interview on iPlayer using the following link (interview starts at 11 minutes and 33 seconds): https://lnkd.in/d7BwMQxJ   #BBCNews #PophouseEntertainment #Powerofentertainment
