If you're a big ABBA fan and can't face the thought of making the trek to Stockholm to visit the ABBA museum, there's good news - a new exhibition dedicated to the pop foursome is opening in London this year.
'ABBA: Super Troupers' will run at the Southbank Centre in December and promises an 'immersive experience', with various artefacts from Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha and Anna-Frid's private archives going in display.
The 'immersive' element entails various rooms being modelled to represent different stages of the Swedish band's career - from their Polar recording studio in Stockholm where they recorded many of their hits, to a replica of their room at Brighton's Grand Hotel, where they stayed after winning Eurovision at the Brighton Dome in 1974.
Bjorn Ulvaeus said: “Since our songs, which were written in the 70s, are still being played today it’s particularly interesting that the Southbank Centre exhibition is placing them in the temporal context in which they were created. We recorded Mamma Mia in 1975. What happened that year in the UK and in the world? One thing is for certain – it seems unbelievably long ago!”
Anna-Frid Lyngstad added: “We are so excited that the exhibition is taking place at the Southbank Centre, which is just a few short steps away from Waterloo.”
The exhibition runs from December 14th 2017 - April 29th 2018, but tickets go on sale tomorrow.
