Arrival From Sweden

Though the Swedish pop group ABBA hit their chart-topping peak between 1975 and 1982, their popularity endures. Need proof? Disco-infused tunes such as “Super Trouper” and “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)” have inspired a Broadway musical and two major movies. Cher even interpreted the group’s greatest hits on her 2018 album Dancing Queen. Arrival From Sweden, a 12-piece live band from — you guessed it — Sweden, bring the music of Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad to the stage with an authentic tribute concert. Fans can expect replicas of original costumes, high-energy dance numbers and vocal harmony from the only group to receive an unreleased ABBA song straight from the band.
