Glam up and re-enact ABBA’s victory at Brighton’s Dome

For those who aren’t partying at Eurovision in Concert this weekend, don’t fret! You can still get some ESC flavour by heading down to Brighton for “The Anniversary”—a reenactment and musical extravaganza to mark 40 years since ABBA’s victory in the Brighton Dome on April 6.

ABBA fanatic Christopher Green, creator of the BBC’s “Like An Angel Passing Through My Room” will star in the show, presenting “a piece documenting his ABBA obsession featuring an exclusive interview with Frida.” The Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus will also perform selections from the ABBA repertoire.

Part party, part lecture, the show will delve into the history of the group and their cultural significance. ESC veterans will also take to the stage to re-enact some Eurovision classics.

After winning Eurovision in 1974, ABBA’s “Waterloo” charted at the top of most European charts, and became a USA Billboard Top 10 hit for several weeks. By the end of the decade, “Waterloo” had notched sales of over 6 million units, and paved the way for ABBA’s global domination.
