ABBA Reunites for the first time in eight years for opening of new restaurant in Stockholm

They're one of the most commercially successful music groups in history, with hits that have survived five decades.

But ABBA haven’t been glimpsed as a group together for over seven years.

That all changed last night, when the Swedish pop foursome got together for the opening of a new restaurant in Stockholm – where people can eat while watching a show based on the group’s songs

Guests can expect a three-course Mediterranean buffet - accompanied by entertainment from several acts singing and dancing to ABBA songs. The experience promises ‘daredevil stunts, Greek Gods, flirty waiters, and perhaps a Zorba and an Ouzo or two.’

Tickets start from around £109 per person for an evening at the venue.

ABBA formed in Sweden in 1972 and topped the charts worldwide from 1975 to 1982. Pictured, the Swedish quartet at the height of their fame, in 1975
