The tour will open in Birmingham on 18 October and head to Liverpool, Nottingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Cardiff and Newcastle.

Waterloo: The Best of ABBA looks back at the group’s rise to stardom and will capture the unique sound of ABBA with a full live cast and band, stunning visuals, costumes and choreography.

From start to finish the show will feature iconic hits including “Mamma Mia”, “Voulez Vouz” and of course, “Waterloo”.

The latter of the songs won the group the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974, which went on to win the best song in the competition’s history for the 50th edition in 2005.

Having formed in 1972, ABBA became one of the best-selling bands of all time, topping the charts worldwide from 1974 to 1982, and again in 2022.

In 2022 the group opened their much-anticipated show ABBA Voyage at a purpose-built venue at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

The “jaw-dropping” virtual concert has received rave reviews from fans and critics alike and it’s expected to run until at least 2026.
