“Thank You For The Music: A Celebration of The Music Of ABBA” will take place in London’s Hyde Park Sept. 13.
The show, which will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 2, will serve as kind of a mini-ABBA reunion with both Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus on hand to perform.
Other performers scheduled to pay tribute to the enduring legacy of the band and the music of Andersson and Ulvaeus include Kylie Minogue, Jamie Cullum, Chaka Khan, Lulu, Elaine Paige and the West End cast of “Mamma Mia!”
Tickets are available by phone or at SeeTickets.com.
