'ABBA: The Movie' Is Returning To The Cinemas In September

'ABBA: The Movie - Fan Event' is returning to our cinema screens for two nights next month.

The film delves behind the scenes from the band's hugely successful tour of Australia in 1977, and also includes renditions of classic hits such as '‘SOS’, ‘Waterloo’, ‘Dancing Queen’, and ‘Name Of The Game’ among others. 

Mia Segolsson, General Manager of Polar Music International, said this in a press release. “I am thrilled that we are finally able to showcase the iconic ABBA: The Movie again across the globe, almost 50 years since its opening”.

“What better place to experience ABBA in their prime than on the big screen together with both new and old fans. ABBA: The Movie is a testimony of the magic that was and is ABBA”. 

The film has been described as “ a move that weaves a captivating mockumentary-style subplot into the narrative. Set against the backdrop of a country radio disc-jockey’s relentless pursuit of an interview with the band, this slapstick comedy of errors explores the hilarious antics that unfold as the determined DJ faces off against ABBA’s devoted bodyguard, who stops at nothing to prevent the interview from happening. Brace yourself for a cinematic experience that combines backstage secrets, unforgettable live performances, and a glimpse into the lives of these musical icons at the pinnacle of their fame”. 

ABBA: The Movie - Fan Event will also include exclusive footage of the ABBA museum in Stockholm, along with lyric videos of the band’s greatest hits, and unseen footage from their 1977 tour.

The film will hit the cinema screens on September 16 and 17. Tickets for the screening will go on sale on August 16.
