Immersive Abba exhibition to look back on the band’s rise to stardom
The Swedish pop sensations have given their seal of approval to the show at London’s Southbank Centre.
A new exhibition will tackle the rise of pop sensation Abba – in the context of “grim” 1970s Britain.
ABBA: Super Troupers will take place at the Southbank Centre, located just next to the station which shares the name of one of the band’s biggest hits – Waterloo.
Agnetha Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad have given their seal of approval to the “immersive” show.
“Bjorn came out to see the Moomin show and got the kind of approach we wanted to take, how we’re doing exhibitions in a pioneering way and really liked that,” he said.
“This show will be in the context of the socio-political situation in the 1970s and how Abba rose to fame during quite a grim time for the UK.
“We’re looking at what was special about Abba and why they rose to prominence. I think they really like that.
