Tommy Ekman and Gigi Hamilton revive the 80's bands Freestyle and Style in a new show. In "From Freestyle to Style" the audience gets to relive songs like "Vill ha dig", "Fantasi" and "Dover-Calais".

"It feels fantastic to stand on stage together again. We want to offer a show where everyone can sing along, dance and get a dose of that magic from before – and with the same energy", says Tommy Ekman in a press release.

The show will be performed first at Nya Cirkus in Stockholm on November 20 and then on November 21 in Borås. Next year, a major Sweden tour is also awaiting.

Freestyle broke through in the beginning of the 80's and achieved great successes before they split up in 1983 and transformed into the band Style. In 2018, Freestyle's original members Christer Sandelin, Gigi Hamilton, Tommy Ekman and Joakim Hagleitner stood on stage together for the first time in many years.
