The remastered film includes such ABBA anthems as “Dancing Queen,” “SOS,” “The Name Of The Game,” and “Waterloo.”
But the fan events will also offer exclusive extras, including a chance to look into the creatiom of the phenomenally successful ABBA Voyage, along with unseen footage from ABBA The Museum in Stockholm. There will also be lyric videos of the group’s greatest hits and footage unearthed from ABBA’s 1977 tour, which visited both Europe and Australia.
Tickets for ABBA: The Movie – Fan Event go on sale on August 16, and fans can visit abbathemovie.com for further information, screening details, and a list of participating countries. Says Mia Segolsson, general manager, Polar Music International: “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.

Kymberli Frueh, SVP programming and content acquisitions, Trafalgar Releasing adds: “ABBA: The Movie takes us on a flashback to the ’70s when we revisit their famous tour across Australia, a time when ABBA was at their zenith. This band is on many of our playlists and has given us so many memories through the decades. This is an unmissable opportunity for ABBA fans to celebrate together in cinemas. It’s the ultimate ABBA party to dress up and sing along to!”
