About ABBA The Concerts
This fan site tries to collect what is known about ABBA’s live performances: basic facts, trivia, press articles or fan reviews. An important aspect are relevant statements by the ABBA members, also information about recordings and published material. However, although one goal is to provide an overview about the fan recordings, please note that you cannot download any recordings here, this site is for information only.
Only information about collaborations of the four ABBA members as a group is included, i.e. activities as solo artists or members of other formations aren’t a topic here.
The work is constantly in progress and new content will be added all the time. Several sources still need to be checked for interesting material and will be included when time allows.
Information regarding individual concerts is listed on the page for the particular venue. More general material which covers a wider part or even the complete tour is listed on the main page of a tour.
As you may notice while reading through this site some fans thankfully were very kind to support me with their memories or newspaper snippets. I appreciate this help very much because such information can’t be found online. So if you can support this project in any way, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Changelog – Recent site updates
Personal note
Because the meanwhile already old “new” songs and the chaotic news around their release are used just as a marketing vehicle for that virtual tour/event/concert/whatever I, as a long-time fan, feel really fooled by ABBA and I must admit that this partly destroys my fun with running such a fan site. Therefore I can’t promise big or regular updates for the time
being.
