Listen Local with V05

6:30 – 7:30 PM in the Overture Hall Main Lobby

ABBA Mania from London’s West End at 8 PM in Overture Hall

V05 is a disco big band celebrating 11 years of epic dance parties. With their blend of 70’s hits from bands like the Bee Gees, Ohio Players and ABBA plus quirky original music, lots of dancing is guaranteed!

V05 has played every kind of gig imaginable and has paid their musical dues by having performed at dozens of oddball shows such as the Wisconsin Realtors “Stayin’ Alive (During the Recession)” convention and the Gilman Cheese Corporation celebration. They’ve even performed as an ABBA cover band and played “The Hustle” to 200 line-dancers in Sheboygan and at the Chicago Navy Pier.

The band includes 2 famous playrights, a brave firefighter, a solar-power broker, a wind-power engineer, a best-selling birdwatcher, a wise doctor and nurse and a celebrated actress.
