Get ready to sing, dance and relive the magic of ABBA, as Forever ABBA Canada, North America’s premier ABBA tribute band, returns to transport audiences back to the golden age of pop. On Wednesday, March 5, with performances at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., the Athens Theatre in DeLand will come alive with the legendary hits that defined a generation.
For more than 50 years, ABBA’s music has been a staple of pop culture. From their breakthrough Eurovision-winning hit “Waterloo” in 1974 to global chart-toppers like “Mamma Mia,” “Dancing Queen” and “Take a Chance on Me,” their songs continue to be played, performed and adored worldwide.
ABBA’s combination of soaring harmonies, catchy melodies and theatrical flair set them apart, making them one of the bestselling music acts of all time. Their influence has reached beyond just the radio, with their music inspiring stage musicals, movies and tribute performances across the globe.
Forever ABBA Canada brings this legendary catalog to life with remarkable authenticity. Their performances are not just about playing the songs — they fully capture the energy, sound and essence of ABBA’s original live concerts.
From the rich vocal harmonies to the dynamic stage presence, this show re-creates the excitement of seeing ABBA at their peak. Fans can expect to hear all the biggest hits, from “Super Trouper” and “Knowing Me, Knowing You” to the disco-fueled beats of “Voulez-Vous” and “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight).”
ABBA’s legacy has only grown stronger over the decades. Their music was introduced to a new generation with the smashhit Broadway musical Mamma Mia! in 2001, which later became two blockbuster films starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried and Pierce Brosnan.
The continued popularity of their songs has proved that ABBA’s music is more than just a product of the disco era — it’s timeless, bringing people together across generations. Whether you first heard ABBA on a record player, in a movie theater, or on a wedding dance floor, their music has a way of making every moment feel special.
Beyond the melodies, ABBA was also known for its unique visual style. Their extravagant costumes, dramatic lighting and bold stage presence made their performances unforgettable. Forever ABBA Canada embraces this tradition, delivering not just a musical experience but a grand production that channels the essence of an ABBA concert.
Audiences attending the show can expect an evening filled with nostalgia, excitement and plenty of sing-along moments. This tribute promises to be a night of pure entertainment, celebrating the enduring legacy of one of pop music’s greatest bands.
If your soul needs a little extra disco sparkle, mark your calendar and grab those tickets. This is more than a concert — it’s a fullblown ABBA extravaganza that will have you singing, dancing and questioning why you don’t own more sequins.
