ABBA is Sweden’s biggest music export ever, with almost 400 million records sold. The band’s hits include Dancing Queen, Waterloo, Gimme Gimme Gimme and many more, and the musical and film Mamma Mia is a worldwide sensation. The 12-piece live band ARRIVAL from Sweden was founded in 1995 in Gothenburg. Soon, it became responsible for one of the world’s most popular and best-selling ABBA shows. The band has toured in 60 countries and played with more than 70 symphony orchestras around the world. Following a tour in the US, they arrive in Malmö this Christmas. With a bunch of talented musicians and singers, ARRIVAL delivers the ABBA songs with such accuracy that you might even believe the real ABBA is 64 | Issue 127 | August 2019
up on stage. Of course, the clothing is also inspired by ABBA, with most outfits created by Owe Sandström. Petra Torolfsdotter, project manager for the shows, will personally take care of each and every request before you arrive for a night to remember forever: a premium show event with music and visuals that will give you an everlasting memory and melodies to sing all through Christmas. The ABBA show has received international praise. For instance, The Sun Valley Times wrote: “ARRIVAL did not disappoint, playing all of the legendary group’s biggest hits well into the night. It was a time warp of the most entertaining kind – they looked like ABBA, they sounded like ABBA, they dressed like ABBA, for all intents and purposes, they were ABBA.”
