The last thing I see before getting socked in the face by a football:
It’s hurtsssss fr!
What's the most surprised you have been by a song played by a tribute band.
The majority of songs being on gold and other hits, which is obviously fine and makes sense but when have you heard a less popular or known song made its way onto the setlist as a nice suprise.

Why is ABBA Voyage closed for the first 2 weeks of September?
Very frustrating. I'm in London in early September, and have just gone to book tickets, only to find out it's closed for two weeks. Does anyone have the intel?

Frida's voice in her pre-ABBA days was so soft and gentle.

Dancing Queen 50th anniversary
Happy anniversary, Dancing Queen!
Over 1.5 billion streams on Spotify alone. The song runs for only about 3 minutes 50 seconds, so 1.5 billion Spotify plays alone represent roughly 11 million years of collective human listening time.
Who else was there first time around in 1976?

youtu.beDancing Queen Celebrations - Thoughts?
So I’ve been gathering reviews from fans around the world who attended the Dancing Queen 50th anniversary celebrations, and honestly… they sound pretty disappointing. Or at the very least, quite underwhelming compared to what people were expecting.
- Mexico City — apparently they only played four ABBA songs the entire night?!
- Sydney — seemingly a similar story. From what I’ve seen, there was basically just a backdrop with a Dancing Queen light where people could take photos.
- Berlin — this seems to have been one of the better ones. They played quite a lot of ABBA songs, including some less obvious ones, and there was a photobooth, a small disco, merch, etc. However, they had apparently promised a quiz where people could win merch, and that never happened.
London and Stockholm happened today, so I haven’t seen many reviews yet. I have seen that they were giving away free “Dancing Queen 50” badges, though, and some of them are already being listed on eBay for ridiculous prices. Honestly, how horrible.
Did anyone here attend one of the celebrations? How was it? And what about the other cities?
I honestly feel quite sad that some of these events seem to have turned out this way. It feels unfair to the fans who genuinely wanted to celebrate Dancing Queen and ABBA’s music together.
The fact that these events were promoted on the official ABBA website also made me expect a little more from them. Of course, I don’t think this is ABBA’s fault at all, the organisation and execution are ultimately down to the event organisers. But when you have fans travelling, spending money, and getting excited about celebrating such an important ABBA milestone, I think it’s reasonable to expect something more special.
Maybe I’m expecting too much, but honestly, I feel like events celebrating ABBA should be organised by people who really understand ABBA and their fans or maybe even by the fans themselves. ABBA and their fans deserve better.
Would love to hear from anyone who actually attended, especially London, Stockholm, or any of the other cities!
