The group that the official ABBA Fan Club has named "the best ABBA tribute band in the world,” brings its fantastic re-creations of ABBA's most iconic hits to The Parker in The Concert: A Tribute to ABBA on Tuesday, May 9, 2023.

While not affiliated with the original ABBA group, Polar Music or Mamma Mia, 21st Century Artists has been presenting this audience favorite for well over two decades.

Fans once again are reveling in ABBA's most iconic hits, including "Mamma Mia," "S.O.S.," "Money, Money, Money," "The Winner Takes All," "Waterloo," "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" and "Dancing Queen."

Taking its name from the initials of the first name of its band members Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, the original ABBA received Grammy® nominations for its recordings of “Don’t Shut Me Down (Record Of The Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance); “I Still Have Faith in You” (Record Of The Year); and “Voyage” (Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album).

The original group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 by members of the Bee Gees. In his essay for the induction, Jim Farber wrote, “Yes, the way ABBA dressed could qualify them for a lifetime achievement award on What Not to Wear, the way they piled their harmonies and instruments on top of each other could make Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound seem like a modest lark, and the joy their songs exuded suggested a level of pleasure that bordered on the lunatic.”

The Concert: A Tribute to ABBA gives fans another chance to dance in the aisles like a Dancing Queen. As Robin Gibb said of ABBA, “Their music will live on forever.”
