ABBA THE CONCERT was formed in Stockholm Sweden in 1996 and quickly became known for its fantastic ABBA-sound and the stunning live "ABBA-esque" performance. The audience and press all agreed - "this is the closest to ABBA you'll ever get."

Many critics agree, ABBA THE CONCERT is the most amazing and authentic ABBA tribute show in the world. In total, the group has performed in more than 20 countries around the world and has done more than 1,000 shows. During these tours the show has sometimes consisted of original members of the original ABBA rhythm section. These fantastic players have consisted of saxophone players Janne Kling, Johan Stengård and Ulf Andersson, bass players Mike Watson and Rutger Gunnarsson, guitar players Lasse Wellander and Janne Schaffer, drummers Ola Brunkert and Roger Palm.

ABBA THE CONCERT continues to be the top ABBA tribute group in the world, dazzling all with their fantastic performance while playing the most iconic hits from ABBA, including "Mamma Mia," "S.O.S," "Money, Money, Money," "The Winner Takes It All," "Waterloo," "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!," and "Dancing Queen."

Having had many successful U.S. and International tours, a few of their highlights include more than 15 sold-out shows at the famous Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles; two tours in Germany where the band performed for 3,000 to 10,000 people per night, three tours in Spain; and a sold-out performance at The Royal Albert Hall in London.
