WOW! was a Dutch girl group in the late 1990s and early 2000s who were produced by the duo Bolland & Bolland.

History

WOW! scored their first hit in 1997 called Keer op Keer, which came from their album Wild + Ondeugend. The group scored another hit with Zomer'. The music video for The Night Before You Came was recorded in the Big Brother house.

The band consisted of Denise Koopal, Jenske Moermond, Joëlle van Noppen, Mandy Gruijters and Naomi Louwerens. After each other, Van Noppen and Koopal left the group in 1999 and 2000 respectively. The band restarted in May 2001 under the new name Blaze. However, this was unsuccessful.

WOW! appeared for the last time in its original line-up once in the radio program Coen and Sander Show.
