A tribute concert celebrating the music of ABBA, performed by a Swedish group that includes original ABBA musicians.
The Concert: A Tribute to ABBA plays at the State Fair of Texas on Thursday, October 15, as part of the fair's music programming. It's a tribute to ABBA, and the group behind it is a Swedish band that's been touring the US since 1999. They're from Stockholm, and they include original ABBA musicians in their lineup.
The setlist pulls from the band's most recognizable songs. You'll hear "Mamma Mia," "S.O.S," "Money, Money, Money," "The Winner Takes All," "Waterloo," "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme," and "Dancing Queen." Those are the big ones most people know, so you'll recognize the songs even if you aren't a deep-dive fan.
Because they're a Swedish group with original ABBA musicians in the mix, they've got a direct line back to the source. They describe themselves as the top ABBA tribute group in the world, and they've been on the road in the US for over two decades, so they've played these songs more times than most. If you've spent any time with the original records, you know the sound—the bright melodies, the layered vocals, and the kind of pop that's hard to sit still for.
