90s pop stars Ace Of Base unrecognisable as they perform at festival 30 years after smash hit All That She Wants
NINETIES pop icons Ace Of Base have been spotted looking unrecognisable as they performed at a festival 30 years after gracing the charts with their hit All That She Wants.
The Swedish band - who originally consisted of siblings Jonas and Jenny Berggren, Malin Linn and their pal Ulf Ekberg - took to the stage again last year as they headlined at a festival.

Ace Of Base, who were known for their catchy hit Cruel Summer, shaped Europop in the 1990s - but have rarely been seen since.
Their first hit, All That She Wants, was a hit around the world and topped the UK charts for three weeks in 1993 and their debut album, Happy Nation, sold 21 million copies.
They followed it with a string of smashes including The Sign and Don’t Turn Around, which scored number ones around the globe, releasing their last big hit, Cruel Summer, in 1998.
The group were last seen in a series of concerts between 2007 and 2009 - before the group officially split and went their separate ways.

Ulf and Jonas teamed up to record two other female vocalists, Clara Hagman and Julia Williamson in a new musical venture.
Meanwhile, Malin gave up music, and his sister Jenny went solo.
In 2010, she was in the running to represent Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest but her song, Let Your Heart Be Mine, failed to get her through the National Final.
But to celebrate their 30th anniversary in 2021, the group came back together to release Dancer in a Daydream - before taking to the stage in a summer festival.

The group reunited in British Columbia, Canada, for the 90s Nostalgia Electric Circus festival where they were seen singing and dancing.
Looking less youthful than their heyday, the group dressed up in black lace and flower-inspired outfits as they sat on chairs to sing their slower ballad numbers.
Last year, the band’s first four albums were remastered and re-released with new bonus tracks and an album of unreleased material, called Hidden Gems, was released.
The group also teased in 2015 that they planned on working together on further projects - with Ulf saying it "wasn't impossible".
"With the right elements in the next few years, I don’t think it's impossible," he said of their possible reunion.
It comes after Sharon Corr was seen looking unrecognisable compared to her 1990s fame in family band The Corrs.
and violinist appeared on Australian news programme Sunrise ahead of the band's upcoming tour Down Under.
The singer, now 52, and her siblings , Caroline and were internationally known in the 90s and early 2000s.
