ABBAMANIA – The Show

After winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974, ABBA gained immense international popularity, employed catchy song hooks, thoughtful lyrics and a wall of sound.

As their popularity grew, they were highly sought-after to tour Europe and North America, drawing crowds of near-hysterical fans. They remain a popular fixture in radio playlists and are still one of the world’s best selling bands, having sold almost 400 million records worldwide.

ABBAMANIA was formed in 1998 and is now recognised as one of the most authentic ABBA tribute bands in the World.

ABBAMANIA have hit ‘GOLD’ with their re-creation of ABBA in Concert, and will have you dancing in the aisles with their fabulous LIVE show featuring nearly 2 hours of pure…. ABBA….. nostalgia
