ABBA is known for their catchy songs, colourful stage looks and strong vocals. The band’s members, Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad (also called Frida), and Benny Andersson became very popular in the ’70s after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with the song “Waterloo”.
From that point, the group released many hit albums and songs, including “Dancing Queen,” “Take a Chance on Me,” “Mamma Mia,” and “The Winner Takes It All.” Their music is still loved around the world, even though the group stopped performing together a long time ago.

On Tuesday evening, ABBA Voyage marked three years since the show opened in London. The celebration took place at the venue built specially for the show at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford. The concert has been a major attraction for fans, with the digital versions of ABBA performing songs like “Dancing Queen” and “Waterloo” in front of a cheering crowd.
The show is not just popular with fans, it is also bringing in a lot of money. A recent report says the concert has made over £322 million for the UK economy. More than one million people have already attended the show, with ticket prices going as high as £181.50. To mark the third anniversary, the organisers have added something new to the concert setlist starting from May 27, which gives returning fans something extra to enjoy.
