Artist Info

Arrival from Sweden

ABBA are Sweden’s biggest music export ever, with 370 million record sold. Mamma Mia!, the stage musical built around the songs of ABBA, has proven a worldwide sensation. There is a Playstation game of their music and plans to open an ABBA Museum in Stockholm. ABBA was the most commercially successful pop group in the world for the entire 1970s. Together as a group for 11 years (1972-1983), the phenomenon of their music has never really diminished in the intervening three decades.
 
Arrival From Sweden began in 1995, and soon became one of the world's most popular and best-selling ABBA show bands. The band has toured over 50 countries and appeared on several TV and radio shows all over the world. They have embarked on 30 sold out tours in North America since 2005.

Arrival From Sweden, appearing in the world’s greatest ABBA tribute show, "THE MUSIC OF ABBA," tours the world together with original members of ABBA’s band. Arrival From Sweden is the only group to have been given an unreleased ABBA song directly from ABBA, which they released worldwide in 2009. Arrival From Sweden is also the only group to have the exclusive right to copy ABBA's original outfits, and the only group which has exclusive permission for the use of the name ABBA in their production name - ABBASOLUTELY - permitted by Universal. Arrival From Sweden’s concerts with symphony orchestras, on TV, and radio are presented all over the world. This band is hailed as the most authentic and greatest ABBA show bands ever. It is just like ABBA never left.
