Founded by Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens, the pop band is one of the few German bands to have made a name for itself on the international music scene with hits such as "Big in Japan", "Forever Young" and "Sounds like a Melody", inspiring generations of fans and music enthusiasts.

And this remains true up to today: This fall, the band's first career-spanning retrospective will be released: "ALPHAVILLE FOREVER! - BEST OF 40 YEARS" will be available on CD, vinyl and digitally from September 27, 2024 - exactly 40 years to the day after the release of their debut album "Forever Young".
