Four decades of Alphaville! As one of the few German bands, the pop formation founded by Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens has managed to gain a permanent place in the international music scene with hits such as “Big in Japan”, “Forever Young” and “Sounds like a Melody” and to inspire generations of fans. And that continues to this day: In the fall, the band’s first career-spanning retrospective will be released: “ALPHAVILLE FOREVER! – BEST OF 40 YEARS” will be available from September 27, 2024 – exactly 40 years to the day after the release of the debut album “Forever Young”.
With their debut album “Forever Young”, Alphaville took the music world by storm and became the world’s most successful pop act made in Germany to date! Songs like “Big in Japan”, “Sounds Like a Melody” and “Forever Young” became mega hits in the national and international charts and still are today – they have long been among the great classics of pop.
