Welcome to the online home of London’s fastest growing celebration of all things Schlager. The London Schlager Party features the most popular schlager songs mixed in with Eurovision Song Contest classics and recent entries. It is the perfect way to get your weekend started and the place to meet schlagertastic people with the same music taste.
What is Schlager?
Schlager music in modern terms is the genre of music that is best described as ‘Abba-esque’. Coming from the German word for “hitter” or a music “hit”, it describes modern traditional pop music, predominantly from Scandinavia. Most schlager fans will point towards the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest selection show, ‘Melodifestivalen’, as the annual source of the best schlager music but many songs in the running to represent Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and recently Estonia and Latvia are included.
Is there a British Schlager scene? The closest that British pop has got to Schlager since Stock, Aitken and Waterman’s hay day is probably Steps, Deuce, British Eurovision act, Scooch and the odd boyband song.
