Macias Sports & Cultural Center in Dumaguete City, March 28; and the Lagao Gym in General Santos City, March 30.

Watching Abbamania in concert is an opportunity for fans of the legendary group from Sweden to approximate a real ABBA performance. The group was formed by Agnetha Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad in the early ’70s and broke into big-time after winning the Grand Prix at the Eurovision Song Festival with the song Waterloo. More hits followed until the group broke up during the late ’80s. The songs have remained popular and ABBA music was further immortalized in the stage musical and later motion picture Mamma Mia!
Abbamania will have audiences dancing in the aisles with their live show featuring nearly two hours of pure ABBA nostalgia with songs like Waterloo, Money Money, Take A Chance On Me, One Last Summer, The Winner Takes It All, Knowing Me Knowing You, Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, Lay All Your Love On Me, Super Trouper, I Have A Dream, S.O.S., Chiquitita, Fernando, Voulez Vous, Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight), Does Your Mother Know, The Name Of The Game, Dance (While The Music Still Goes On), Honey Honey, I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do, Our Last Summer, Thank You For The Music and many others.
