Arrival from Sweden has performed since 1995 and performs all of ABBA's hits, including “Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia,” “Does Your Mother Know,” “Take A Chance,” “SOS,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “Waterloo,” “Honey Honey,” “Fernando,” “Knowing Me Knowing You” and more.
ABBA was Sweden's biggest musical act of all time — and is the No. 10 bestselling musical group of all time, with a certified 72.2 million albums sold and a worldwide estimate of 150 million.
It released seven gold and platinum albums in the United States, with its 1992 album "ABBA Gold" selling six times platinum.
Making those numbers more amazing is that the group had a recording career of only eight years — 1973-81 — before it returned in 2021 with "Voyage," its first album of new material in 40 years. That disc gave ABBA its highest-charting U.S. album at No. 2.
Last year, the Sounds of Summer Series included nine concerts — among them "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery, country band LoCash, Southern rockers .38 Special, Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd and The Monsters and 1980s hitmakers The Hooters.
Also, tribute bands to Taylor Swift, Queen and Led Zeppelin.
