Now we are in 2025, we can officially say the unofficial Queen of Iceland, Hera Björk, is coming to Australia this year!

What can we expect from the tour
Back in November we spoke to Hera about her tour and she told us coming to Australia was a dream come true for her after meeting Aussies in 2010.
The show is about Hera, and about her life. There will be stories and lots of laughs, as well as music and dancing. The tour website describes the Queen of Effing Everything tour as:
"This is a not-to-be-missed intimate insight into the life of Iceland's unofficial leading lady, who is as comfortable in gumboots as she is in glittering gowns. The show is a candid musical monologue about how a young girl from Reykjavik dreamed of becoming an Olympic gymnast, but instead succeeded in shaping her life as a go-getting, toilet-scrubbing Diva of the Eurovision scene."
But don't go home after the show has ended, there will be a Euro Disco playing Eurovision songs!
