ABBA show featuring original musicians to be staged in Egypt

 Arrival From Sweden band brings music of ABBA in an Egypt concert titled The Music of ABBA, featuring musicians who played with the original band, on 15 September in Ain El-Sokhna on the Red Sea.

 
Mike Waston and Ake Sundqvist will join the ABBA show in Egypt.
 
Watson played on noteable tracks as a bass player with ABBA.
 
"He is also the man dressed up as Napoleon on the cover of ABBA's Waterloo album. Mike Watson also contributed to People Need Love, the very first recording issued under the name Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid,” according to Arrival’s website.
 
Sundqvist, a percussionist and drummer, has recorded and taken part on all ABBA's tours.
 
The concert will also feature DJ Maria Petlai ‘Goldy Rise’.
 
The iconic Swedish band ABBA emerged in 1971, and split as a group in 1982. Comprised of the four members Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, ABBA became one of the most commercially successful pop bands, topping international charts between 1774 and the early 80s when they disbanded.
 
ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 in Brighton, marking the first Swedish triumph in the contest.
 
Since its debut in 1995, Arrival From Sweden has become one of the most popular and bestselling ABBA show bands internationally, touring 48 countries.
