A*Teens is a Swedish pop music group from Stockholm took to the Mighty Hoopla stage in Brockwell Part over the weekend.
The group was formed by Niklas Berg in 1998 as an ABBA tribute group called ABBA-Teens, which was later renamed A-Teens.
The band members are Marie Serneholt, Amit Paul, Dhani Lennevald, and Sara Lumholdt
They are best known for the singles "Mamma Mia" (1999), "Upside Down" (2000) and "Floorfiller" (2002).
Their rendition of "Dancing Queen" gained significant airplay and recognition.
The group are often credited with introducing ABBA's music to a new generation and are fondly remembered as a bubblegum pop act
Fans were left stunned as they performed a concert set in London at this year's pop music festival.
Taking to TikTok, users commented on their age-defying appearance.
One wrote: "How are they still all in such good shape?!"
Another added: "Wait how are they all still so hot?"
Soap stars' secret music careers revealed from EastEnders actress's 80s pop single to Corrie legend's TOTP appearance
A third penned: "This made me feel so old but they all still gorgeous."
The group proved they still had strong vocals and energy to dance to an upbeat choreographed number.
The pastel themed outfits screamed 90s and the crowd loved the feeling of nostalgia.
But is their performance a one-off? Or Could A*Teens be making a music comeback?
All the 90s trends that are making a comeback
WE might be in 2024, but fashion fans are looking to the past when it comes to new styles. So what trends from the 90s are making a comeback these days?
Claw clips
These hair accessories were a huge trend back in the 90s, but are now most popular among those trying out the "clean girl" aesthetic. Designers such as Prada have released their own versions, while there are thousands of colours and styles to choose from on the high street.
Platform flip flops
Again a popular choice among fashionistas in the 90s, these heels have made a comeback with designers such as Balenciaga trying their luck with their own styles.
Cargo pants
Once worn by the stars of All Saints, cargo pants became a popular trend for teens in the 90s. But they've now had a fashion overhaul, with stars such as Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber all putting their own spin on the trend.
Jeans and a nice top
It was the phrase that defined fashion for a decade, and now famous faces such as Sofia Richie are sporting the reinvented trend - pairing their own denims with a more sophisticated top. But are you willing to dig your jeans and nice tops out of the wardrobe for a second time?
Over the years, the group released four albums, with the first, The ABBA Generation being revealed to the world in 1999.
This was followed by Teen Spirit in 2001, Pop 'til You Drop in 2002, and finally New Arrival in 2003.
Most notably they served as an opening act for pop sensation Britney Spears.
They toured the US for the 'Oops! … I Did It Again' tour in 2000 before they decided to disband three years later.

People left surprised after cruise ship worker shares payslip
A Royal Caribbean cruise ship worker has revealed how much he takes home as a casino host on board the brand's liners. Brit Chris Wong has worked at sea for the company since 2013, regularly posting content online about his life on the ocean waves. This week he announced his current contract will be his last, as he sails into new waters in 'the next phase of my life'. However, A recent YouTube post saw the entertainment employee sharing the sums of his most recent pay slip. With 114,000 followers on YouTube, he describes himself as probably the most followed casino host on land or sea - and explained that previous insights into his salary had been amongst his most popular content ever. Around 2 minutes 40 seconds into the 17-minute-long clip, Wong bravely goes where many employees might not - he shares his payslip on screen for all to see. The white and blue financial document clearly carries Royal Caribbean's branding, although Wong has covered up confidential details such as his employee number and address. The one piece of information most people want to see though hasn't been scratched out; how much he brings home for a month's work. Receiving two pay slips, one for salaried pay, the other for additions such as tips, Wong revealed he earned $4,340.30 (£3,222.93) in a month this year Wong explains in the clip, entitled 'How Much Money I Currently Earn Working On A Cruise Ship in 2025': 'The only thing I haven't scribbled out is the bottom, which is my net pay and this is exactly how much money I was paid for that two week period.' Showing two two-week pay slips, the first sum is $2,890.21 (£2,145.52), while the second, based solely on additional earnings such as tips and commission, is $1,450.09 (£1076.50). The grand total for his work in January this year comes to $4,340.30 (£3,222.93). He explains that he's on 'fantastic money', saying: 'For me to earn something like that in the UK, it's actually quite difficult at this point in time, with the way inflation is and everything'. He adds that earning that sum without having to pay for rent, with only minimal bills for his phone and internet use, and no large outgoings such as a house or a car, means he's very happy with his salary. Those tuning into the video admitted they were impressed by Wong's earnings and his job, saying: 'Congrats! So happy to see you doing well!!!! Don't listen to the naysayers, make as much $ as you can and save, save, save!' Another added: 'As long as you like/love what you do and feel your compensation is fair, stick with it as long as that remains true.' This week, Chris revealed that he was handing over the casino host baton to a colleague after deciding to leave Royal Caribbean. 'On a Royal Caribbean Blog discussion forum, he posted: 'I have officially announced and decided that this will be my last ever contract as a crew member for Royal Caribbean. After a long career with this company, it is now time to move on to the next phase of my life. I am excited and nervous for what is to come.' Last month, another cruise crew member lifted the lid on what it's like to work as a member of guest services - and who the happiest employees are on a ship. Posting on Reddit, the employee revealed that their biggest pet peeve is when holidaymakers 'demand' to speak to the manager'. 'Most of these people I would be happy not to have to deal with, however what they fail to realise is that I might get in trouble if I immediately call a supervisor without trying to resolve the issue by myself first,' they explained. 'If seeing the manager is warranted, I promise you won't have to say it.' And luckily it's really pretty easy to keep cruise crew happy, according to the staff member. They said: 'Be nice. That's literally it. We deal with all sorts of entitled complainers. 'Now some, if not most, complaints are perfectly valid but if you're not an a**hole about it, we'll do everything we can. And we will appreciate you being nice to us.' But if you are looking to hit the high seas as a crew member, there's one job that's the most desirable position onboard, according to the cruise worker. They revealed that entertainers are 'by far' the happiest members of staff onboard the ship. The crew member said: 'They have the most time off and are very well paid.'

How Sabrina Carpenter's ex Barry Keoghan has reacted as she publicly shames him again with her most explicit song yet
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DRESSED in barely there hotpants and bareless with just a white shirt on, Sabrina Carpenter took aim at ex Barry Keoghan once again. In a savage swipe she sings 'Man-child / Why you always come a-running to me? / F**k my life / Won't you let an innocent woman be?' , clearly aimed at the actor, who she split with December of last year. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 8 Sabrina Carpenter has taken aim at ex Barry Keoghan once again Credit: Instagram / sabrinacarpenter 8 An insider close to Barry Keoghan has confirmed the star is completely unphased Credit: AFP But how does Barry, 32, feel about the latest public shaming? Insiders close to the star have confirmed he is completely unphased, saying: 'If anything Barry is very amused that he's the centre of the song, but he's got bigger things to concentrate on.' While Sabrina is sparking outrage for latest album cover, Barry is in 'Beatles bootcamp' as he prepares for the biggest role of his career. He is playing Ringo Starr in a film series on the Fab Four and has spent the past three months getting stuck in. He expects to be working on the four films for 15 months — with co-stars Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn and Harris Dickinson. Barry explained: 'We've been in full camp for like 16 or 17 weeks now. "It's just an absolute joy. The camp is like bootcamp and it's a place where you have time and you try things. 'For Ringo, you get to approach the walk, the accent, play around with the face. "It's a place of failing, a place of learning and trying. That's the process I'm in now. It's a playground for me.' The insider revealed: 'Barry has given up booze and partying to get into the role. Sabrina Carpenter's new hit music video 'Manchild 'It could win him an Oscar and Barry has his sights on true greatness, so is making sure no distractions get in his way.' The star has also removed himself from social media - avoiding the endless trolling from Sabrina fans. The insider added: "It's been the perfect way to get over a break up." Discussing his sober journey, Barry said: 'I will always try and do better. I am always looking to elevate. My approach to The Beatles movie is entirely different to anything I have ever done. 'Being sober has now allowed me artistically to go down a constructive way and kind of bring back emotions and control. Rather than be erratic. There is a whole new approach to it. I am happy when I reach certain things. We are always looking to say more. I am proud of my work and my legacy but I think that is just starting.' 8 Barry was dumped by Sabrina for the first time after she grew tired of his party lifestyle Credit: Getty 8 Barry is playing Ringo Starr in a film series on The Beatles and has spent the past three months getting stuck in Credit: Getty Barry split from dental nurse Alyson Kierans last July after also rowing about his partying and flirting with another woman. The couple share two-year-old son Brando. He then struck up a romance with Sabrina, but the Hollywood power couple split last year, with sources blaming their busy work schedules at the time. Just a few months before The Sun on Sunday revealed Barry had been dumped by Sabrina for the first time after she grew tired of his party lifestyle. A source said at the time: 'Barry acts like an idiot when he is drunk and Sabrina was getting increasingly frustrated. 'He has always been a party animal and Sabrina was fed up with his antics. She is soaring in the charts and is putting herself first as she gears up for her tour next month.' 8 Barry appeared in Sabrina's video for Please Please Please 8 Sabrina has become known for her racy photoshoots Credit: instagram Sabrina previously released the single Please Please Please, which sees her sing about a boyfriend damaging her reputation. And she once again took aim at him with her the track from her new album, which has sparked ferocious debate. While the former Disney Channel star has been praised in the past for 'owning' her sexuality in a feminist way, it seems this latest display has gone too far for many. One fan on X labelled it 'straight-up Pornhub fantasy', while a domestic violence charity issued a statement saying: 'Sabrina Carpenter's album cover isn't edgy, it's regressive.' Others have slammed her decision to once again sing about Barry and have compared her to Taylor Swift, who has made sure no past relationship is sacred. It's a stark difference from a few months ago when the Princess of pop could do no wrong and the fans were turning on Barry. It seems Barry really has taken inspiration from The Beatles and in this case has decided to 'let it be'. 8 Sabrina wears a range of daring looks in her Manchild video Credit: instagram

EXCLUSIVE ABBA legend's torment over secret Nazi past... and the 'incomprehensible grief' that still haunts her
It's been more than 50 years since the Eurovision Song Contest catapulted them to global stardom and just three years after their multi-million-dollar virtual extravaganza Voyage opened in London. But as breathless rumors swirl that a Mamma Mia 3 is in the works, ABBA are almost as relevant now as they were in the band's 1970s heyday.
