The magnificent Chaka Khan and three other international stars join the FOREVER lineup
Get ready for legendary American funk and soul, an iconic new wave voice, and Nordic pop magic, as today’s FOREVER announcement adds even more excitement to the festival.
Four new names are sprinkling extra stardust over the FOREVER lineup today. When the festival takes place from June 20–21, 2025, the stage will welcome the American superstar Chaka Khan, R&B pioneers En Vogue, former Spandau Ballet lead singer Tony Hadley, and Nordic charmer Lisa Ekdahl.
As the woman behind timeless hits like “I’m Every Woman” and “Ain’t Nobody,” Chaka Khan has filled dance floors worldwide throughout her career. With 50 years as one of music’s greatest voices and 10 Grammy Awards to her name, Chaka Khan hardly needs an introduction. This global superstar in the top tier of music legends is set to visit Viborg next summer.
Also hailing from the U.S. are En Vogue, one of the best-selling girl groups in music history. With over 20 million albums sold since their debut, their success is undeniable. Songs like “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)” and “Don’t Let Go (Love)” have become eternal classics.
Speaking of eternal classics, you can’t overlook “True” and “Gold,” made famous by former Spandau Ballet frontman Tony Hadley. Described by critics as having a “strong and expressive voice that few of his peers can match,” Hadley is sure to deliver an unforgettable experience with his suave charisma in Viborg.
Last but not least, today’s announcement includes Swedish singer Lisa Ekdahl, whose sweet and delicate voice shines through in songs like “Vem Vet?” and “Öppna upp ditt fönster.” Since her breakthrough in the 1990s, Ekdahl has enjoyed great success in Sweden and Denmark. Her musical poetry promises to enchant when she takes the stage.
