Pop super group ABBA hit the world stage in 1974 and for the next decade dominated the charts with such hits as “Dancing Queen,” “Money, Money, Money,” “Waterloo,” “SOS,” “Take a Chance on Me,” “Winner Takes It All”, Voulez-Vous” and “Fernando.” They disbanded in 1982, but recently, with the hit Broadway show and movie “Mama Mia,” their music has been introduced to a whole other generation of fans. With this resurgence, the ABBA tribute group,Arrival From Sweden, has become the largest touring ABBA show in the world. This high-energy group faithfully recreates ABBA’s greatest hits – from the music and choreography to the costumes and stories about ABBA – with a full backing band that includes original ABBA musicians. Arrival is the only show to have exclusive rights to recreate ABBA’s stage costumes, as well as exclusive rights from ABBA members to record “Just a Notion”- a previously unrecorded ABBA track. Arrival have played in more than 35 countries to sold-out houses and international acclaim and has earned the approval of founding ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson.
