Abba Revisited

Category: Live Concerts

ABBA's story began on one of the biggest stages in the world. In 1974, "Waterloo" won the Eurovision Song Contest and launched the Swedish quartet into international fame. (In 2005, on Eurovision's fiftieth anniversary, "Waterloo" was voted the best song in the contest's history.) What came after wasn't a brief flash. ABBA went on to sell more than 400 million records and became the first band from a non-English-speaking country to chart consistently across the UK, the United States, Canada, and beyond.

‍

The band was also two married couples: Agnetha and Björn, Anni-Frid and Benny. Both marriages fell apart while the group was at its peak, and the breakdown bled into the songs. "The Winner Takes It All" is Björn writing about his own divorce, sung by Agnetha. That kind of personal cost is what gives the catalogue its strange double life: pop perfection on the surface, real heartbreak underneath.

ABBA Revisited has been touring this music for more than twenty years and has built a serious international track record of its own, with shows from Las Vegas and the Bahamas to the Philippines, El Salvador, and Dubai. ABBA's songs ask for polish, precision, bright vocals, and showmanship, and the band delivers on all four.

"Dancing Queen" still opens a room up. "The Winner Takes It All" still stops one.
