ABBA – The Official International Anniversary Party in London
Universal Music have announced that the official celebration of 40 years of ABBA’s global success will take place in London on Monday 7 April 2014.
ABBA – The Official International Anniversary Party, which will be held at London’s Tate Modern museum, is being organised in conjunction with Max Ström Publishing who will use the event as the launch for what has been described as one of the most prestigious music books ever produced, ABBA – The Official Photo Book.
In addition to the book launch, the party will feature a one-day only ABBA exhibition and an ABBA disco.
One thousand tickets priced at £25 each are on sale now, limited to two per customer.
In addition to the party, Universal are commemorating ABBA’s infamous Eurovision victory with two new Waterloo releases. On 6 April, a limited edition, 7″ vinyl picture disc featuring both the English and Swedish versions of the single will be released (a pre-order link has shown up on Bengans.se) and the Waterloo CD – Deluxe Edition which has been expanded to include 8 bonus tracks, a DVD and 20 page illustrated booklet, will be out on 7 April. Both are available to pre-order now.

Hmmm
So, i booked to see Mamma Mia in case an Abba member attended, and now there it the party. What to do.
I wish there were more information. How long does the party last, because i could go after Mamma Mia? What time does the special exhibition open. It’s ok spring surprises but if an Abba member come to London I’d like to see them…
Ok same problem here They launch this event with not many details about whats happening.phoned ticket office very vague woman knew nothing about it ask manager who only thought it was a private invite party event no joy there But from what I can gather its a launch party for the publishers of the official photo book plus abba tribute band and disco with small exh of unseen photos etc More detail nearer the time of the big anniversary
Hi to Damo and Dave Pyper,
I share your concerns/queries but then I thought that getting to meet possibly 1000 ABBA fans under one roof is quite a rare event in any case and worth £25, so I bought a couple of tickets – now where did I put my walking stick?
Regards
i bought a ticket for the party as it will be good if it’s officially Abba sanctioned.. Don’t expect an Abba member to be there as there won’t be any. That’s official too.
Anyone with a spare ticket?
Bjorn has just made a statement a day ago “hinting” that 1 or 2 Abba Members will be there.
Bjorn had better start giving accurate information about international events or there is going to be a lot of Abba Fans who are going to start really hating him, we have been played with and toyed with long enough by him, over a lot of things.
We are all adults with real lives and for most of us, limited money. If Fans want to go to this once – in – a – lifetime event from outside of England, or outside of Europe, they will have to make plans soon, including time off work. For most of us, it means spending a lot of money.
Bjorn played and toyed with a lot of Adult Fans who went to the Opening of the Abba Museum, some came from overseas. I was one. If he wants the Abba Legacy to remain untarnished, he can stop playing games. Immediately.
The ideal situation would be for Agnetha and Anni-Frid to attend Tate Modern. They have not attended anything together since the Swedish Music Awards Lifetime Achievement Prize in early 2009. Benny has said he is not nostalgic, Bjorn was the hidden and secret centerpiece failure of the Abba Museum Opening. I was there. I witnessed it.
Aggie and Frida. We all love them.
Hello everyone!!
I tried to purchase tickets for the Tate, but because I paid with a foreign card, I did not go back to authorise it later (busy with work, and my real life :() and so I lost my booking :(:(:( I thought that this would be ok, because I got tickets to go to Stockholm to go to the choir event in the hope one of the 4 would turn up. Now I hear that “2” members are heading to the Tate, and I am absolutely heartbroken to miss out on this opportunity…
Would any kind soul have purchased more tickets than they need for the Tate, that I could buy?
Thank you!

The Tate Modern is an amazing venue for an Abba Celebration,
So many great works of arts there.

And now ABBA
And Next to Shakespeare globe to.
It couldn’t be in a more prestigious place.
I got an email from bandsintown announcing an ABBA concert on this event? Got tickets just in case…
Does anyone else have further info?
The eventim site says that its sold out but allows you to buy tickets still. Does anyone know if there are tickets. I’ve bought one on the offchance and called Eventim to find out about it. They were clueless saying it was a private event and they had no info. They said that my order was valid but i’m doubtful.
Any help gratefully received

I’ve booked a romantic weekend at the Grand in Brighton this weekend with my husband (combing the streets looking for them!) just incase a dream comes true and I have a million to one encounter with one of them.. They stayed at the Grand in ’74 of course, so I’m hoping we have their room! It is also Agnetha’s birthday weekend.. Maybe a chance encounter in one of the hotel lifts like in Abba- the movie? Oh well..wish me luck folks! Good luck to those travelling far and wide to meet their idols…
Yeah Julie if only i was the reporter in ABBA The Movie or Abbas so called manager in the last video spoof with Rick Myall and the Abba marionettes Drean on.
I,ll be in brighton myself for the big abbaversary with all the events taking place THE Anniversary show with Christopher Green singalong-a- abba, Tribute bands on the seafront , Abba Disco in cafe bar after the show and maybe before and maybe more . COME DRESSED AS IF IT WAS 1974 ALL OVER AGAIN OR YOU CAN HIRE OUT FOR THIS ONE SPECIAL ABBA DAY .
If any one has a spare ticket to sell would be grateful as I have a friend who is desperate to go!
I’m desperately looking to buy at least one ticket for tonight’s event at the Tate Modern for my partner who is a massive ABBA fan. Anyone has tickets to sell?
