You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life at Arrival From Sweden: "The Music of ABBA"! Since its founding in 1995, Arrival from Sweden has toured in over 70 countries, bringing "The Music of ABBA" to fans worldwide. Hear hits like “Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia,” “Take A Chance,” “SOS,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “Super Trouper,” “Money Money Money,” “Waterloo,” “Fernando,” “Thank You For The Music,” “Lay All Your Love On Me,” “Gimme Gimme Gimme” and many more. The production has everything a great ABBA show needs: sparkling costumes, talented musicians, and incredible vocalists, delivering beloved songs with such accuracy that it’s hard to believe that it’s not the real ABBA on stage. The band was founded by Vicky Zetterberg-Norbäck and the ABBA original musician Rutger Gunnarsson in 1995 in Gothenburg, Sweden, and is the only group that has been given a previously unreleased ABBA song directly from Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. The song “Just A Notion” was released by ARRIVAL from Sweden in 1999 and was yet again released by the original ABBA in 2021 on their latest record “Voyage.” Arrival From Sweden is the closest you can get to seeing ABBA!
