The iconic Mount Lavinia Hotel, with its stunning beachfront and historic charm, will serve as the perfect backdrop for this celebration of timeless music. Commenting on the significance of this event, Anura Dewapura, Chief Operating Officer of Mount Lavinia Hotel, stated, “We are proud to bring ‘Music of ABBA: ARRIVAL from Sweden’ to Sri Lanka, a country where ABBA’s music has always been cherished. This event will not only celebrate their timeless hits but also uplift our community through the joy of music. We believe this show will create lasting memories for everyone in attendance.”
ABBA’s music has always resonated with the Sri Lankan audience, and now, ARRIVAL from Sweden will bring the authentic ABBA sound directly to the island. Unlike other tribute bands, ARRIVAL from Sweden, was founded by an original member of ABBA and includes musicians who performed with the legendary Swedish band. Their line-up features legendary talents like Roger Palm, the drummer behind iconic tracks like ‘Thank You for the Music’ and ‘Dancing Queen,’ and Mike Watson, the bassist who even graced the cover of ABBA’s ‘Waterloo’ album as Napoleon.
With musicians who have toured and recorded with ABBA, including Finn Sjöberg, Åke Sundqvist, and Janne Schaffer, this tribute performance isn’t just a recreation, it’s an authentic revival of ABBA’s original magic. ARRIVAL from Sweden has toured over 80 countries, captivating audiences of up to 50,000, making this a once-in-a-lifetime event for Sri Lanka.
Adding a local touch to the night, Sri Lanka’s beloved band, Redeemers, will join ARRIVAL from Sweden for an electrifying performance. Known for their energetic shows and deep connection to the local music scene, Redeemers will bring their signature style and charm, ensuring that this concert will be a truly unforgettable experience for all.
ARRIVAL from Sweden will perform all the timeless classics, including ‘Take a Chance on Me,’ ‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!’ and ‘The Winner Takes It All.’ For Sri Lankans who have grown up with ABBA’s music as a soundtrack to their lives, this show is not just entertainment; it’s a celebration of the emotions and memories tied to these iconic songs.
