Considered as one of the most successful act in the pop history, ABBA dominated the pop music industry during their decade long run from 1972 to 1982. During these ten years, ABBA conquered the pop charts all over the world with hits like Fernando, Mamma Mia, Money Money Money, Knowing Me Knowing You and Dancing Queen. So far the group has managed to sell more than 375 Million units worldwide. When it comes to the list of best-selling pop music artists of all times, ABBA is ranked on the fourth spot. Even years after their breakup, the group still manages to sell around one to two million albums per year.
Originating from Stockholm Sweden, ABBA became the first group that hailed from a non-English speaking country, and reigned supreme over the pop charts in the English speaking countries. Their success led to their massive fan following in countries like Australia, Ireland, Canada, United States, New Zealand and a lot more. Even in the Latin American countries like Argentina and Mexico, ABBA remained a highly listened pop act during their prime.
Years after the band split up, the music’s popularity started to depreciate with time, but thanks to the movies like Queen of the Desert, Muriel’s Wedding and The Adventures of Priscilla, ABBA’s music started getting listenership once again in one way or the other. In order to celebrate band’s music, a musical called Mamma Mia also premiered on Broadway and met with great success. The success of the musical also led to the movie adaptation of the musical as well as other major international productions of the musical, including London’s West End Production. The revival of interest in band’s music also gave birth to a number of ABBA Tribute bands as well that present the viewers with the experience of an original ABBA concert.
And when talking about experiencing ABBA’s live performances, nothing compares to similarity that ABBA the Concert will have with the original ABBA concerts. The concert will be presented by Waterloo, an ABBA tribute band. Formed in 1996 in the same city where ABBA was formed, Waterloo takes their audience back in time and makes them experience the magic that was offered at the ABBA concert. Waterloo’s popularity started to rise shortly after their formation, due to their incredible sound and the look-alike show that they present their audience with. Band’s performances are highly acclaimed and positively received by critics and fans alike. And due to that fact they have been praised by the words “this is the closest to ABBA you’ll ever get”. As the band’s word spread out pretty fast, soon they were seen performing in various festivals and venues all over Asia, Belgium and Scandinavia.
In 2001, the band in collaboration with the London National Symphony Orchestra and the CSE, laid foundation to ABBA: The Show. After premiering in Norway in Skien on September 24, 2001, the show ran from 2001 to 2008 and told the story of how the band the formed and how they handled fame etc. ABBA: the Show met with great success all over the globe, and the show toured in various countries like Spain, Holland, Scandinavia, United States, London and Germany. With the show, Waterloo has performed in front of hundreds and thousands of ABBA fans in twenty five different countries. With the huge amount of success and popularity that followed in shortly after, the group also performed in different Christmas Shows and also went on three domestic tours. Waterloo is also responsible for numerous corporate shows, in addition to their touring, for the companies like FIFA, Kentario, Volvo, SAAB, KTH, Odin Fonder, Korsnas and many others.
Waterloo is known for presenting the closest most incarnation of ABBA, and this is exactly what you can expect to get out of ABBA the Concert.
