ARRIVAL, Canadas ABBA Tribute Band Concert - Astoria Scandinavian Festival
Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival Presents:
ARRIVAL, Canada’s Tribute to ABBA - June 17, 2017
How do you celebrate 50 years of successful Scandinavian Midsummer Festivals? In a BIG way, for sure, so that’s why we’ve invited ARRIVAL, Canada’s Tribute to ABBA to do a special performance at 7:30 PM on Saturday evening, June 17. “Dancing Queen,” “Mama Mia,” “Take a Chance on Me,” “Knowing You, Knowing Me” - all your favorites will be included. This 50th Anniversary Special Event requires a special ticket: $15 general admission (Liberty Box Office); $25 reserve seating (Finnware). The concert ticket includes admission to the festival after 5 PM. Come for dinner and the concert! If you arrive before 5 PM, you will need to purchase a festival admission wrist band good for all three days. Arena doors open at 7 PM and the concert starts at 7:30 PM. There will be a public dance with live music by Scandinavian Country immediately following the concert. Ticket pre-sale will be available soon. Check back for more information later.
The original ABBA band formed in Stockholm in 1968 and went on to win the Eurovision song contest in 1974 giving Sweden its first triumph in the contest and becoming the most successful group to ever take part in the competition. ABBA was the first group from a non-English-speaking country to achieve consistent success in the charts of English-speaking countries and to spawn ABAA tribute bands around the world. The original band dissolved in 1982 but will reform for an upcoming project in 2017. In the meantime, we have convinced Canada’s top ABBA tribute band to come to the 2017 festival.
Playing hundreds of sold out live shows, Canada’s ABBA tribute band ARRIVAL has a sound and stage show that has been honed and fine-tuned to such a degree that they have many times actually been mistaken for the real ABBA. The crowd loves to sing along with ABBA's famous and well known tunes during ARRIVAL's exciting high energy live stage show. Come to the Clatsop County Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 17, and relive the magic of “Dancing Queen,” “I do, I do, I do, I do, I do,” ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You,” and “Mama Mia” just to name a few.
