With almost 400 million records sold and a worldwide hit musical, Mamma Mia, ABBA is considered to be one of the greatest pop groups of all time, compared only to legends like Elvis and The Beatles. The Swedish super group was formed in Stockholm in 1972, by Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The group’s name is an acronym of the first letters of their first names arranged as a palindrome. ABBA performed their upbeat, bouncy hits such as “Dancing Queen”, “Gimme, Gimme, Gimme”, “Money, Money, Money”, “Waterloo”, and “The Winner Takes It All”, along with a host of other Billboard favorites all over the world before disbanding in 1982. So come check out one of ABBA’s top tribute bands for two nights only in Myrtle Beach and relive/discover the 70s! With sell-out shows at arenas and amphitheaters around the world, including the Red Rock Amphitheater in Denver, Colorado, for 10 years straight, ABBA tribute group Arrival, also from Sweden, has been hailed as the greatest tribute performance of all time. Experience the music, the passion and happiness of one of the world’s most beloved groups through Arrival From Sweden: The Music of ABBA.
