Iconic Aussie pop group Bardot has announced they will be performing together for this time in over two decades.<\/p>\n
The group, whose original lineup included singer and actress Sophie Monk, have revealed they will be reuniting for the inaugural Mighty Hoopla Sydney festival later this month.<\/p>\n
The festival announced the news via Instagram on Wednesday morning, posting \u201cBardot are back baby!\u201d alongside a clip of Bardot\u2019s four remaining members.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t poison, this is pure pop perfection,\u201d the announcement read.<\/p>\n
The post said that for \u201cthe first time in 25 years\u201d, group members Sally Polihronas, Katie Underwood, Belinda Chapple and Tiffani Wood would be coming together for a one-off performance at the festival.<\/p>\n
In the clip shared with the post, the pop quartet told festivalgoers, \u201cSee you there\u201d.<\/p>\n
Fans were quick to express their elation over the news, with one Instagram user commenting, \u201cThis is the reunion I\u2019ve been waiting for\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan\u2019t wait to sing along,\u201d another fan wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s like dream come true,\u201d one person said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Monk was not mentioned in Wednesday\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n
She previously told news.com.au that her decision to depart the group over two decades ago came after she claimed Underwood signalled her intention to leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened was, there were five of us and Katie (Underwood) said, \u2018I would like to leave the band,\u2019\u201d she told the publication in 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs she (Underwood) said that, I went, \u2018I\u2019d like to leave too,\u2019\u201d Monk said.<\/p>\n
Monk shot to fame with Bardot at the turn of the millennium, with the group’s 2000 debut album ‘Bardot’ topping album charts in both Australia and New Zealand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The upcoming festival, which was set to take place at Bondi Beach on February 21, boasted a line-up that also included American pop artist Kesha, English singer Becky Hill and Aussie music icons Delta Goodrem and Jessica Mauboy.<\/p>\n
