Herreys facts for kids

Two of the brothers (Richard and Per) in 2016

Herreys is a famous Swedish pop group. It is made up of three brothers: Per Herrey (born in 1958), Richard Herrey (born in 1964), and Louis Herrey (born in 1966). They became very well known when they won the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 with their song "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley".

Richard and Louis Herrey were the first teenage boys to win Eurovision. They are still the youngest male winners ever. Richard was 19 years old and Louis was 17 years old when they won. In 1985, they also won the Sopot International Song Festival with their song "Sommarparty". When they won Eurovision, the brothers were living and working as singers in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.

Herreys continued to make music and perform for several years. However, they did not have any other songs as big as their Eurovision hit. They were one of the first "boybands" in Europe. This was before boybands became super popular around the world. Herreys was the best-selling pop group in Sweden during the 1980s. They had huge success touring and performing over 300 live shows.

Later Performances

The three brothers came together again to sing "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" in 2002. This was during a break in one of the Swedish Melodifestivalen semifinals. Richard Herrey also appeared at "Congratulations". This was a special concert in Copenhagen, Denmark, in October 2005. It celebrated 50 years of the Eurovision Song Contest.

In February 2006, Richard Herrey released his first solo album called Jag e Kung. The group also performed at the Eurovision Song Contest's Greatest Hits show in 2015. This show celebrated 60 years of Eurovision. They also performed at the end of the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden.
