Abba has thanked fans for their “steadfast loyalty and support” as the band celebrates the 50th anniversary of their Eurovision Song Contest victory.

The Swedish pop supergroup – made up of Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad – won the competition with their hit song Waterloo on April 6 1974 at Brighton Dome’s Concert Hall.

To mark the anniversary, several pianos across Europe will simultaneously play a piece pre-recorded by Andersson and which is designed to make it appear as if he is playing live.



HERE IS THEIR WINNING SONG: WATERLOO

It's like a Big Greek Wedding that follows the Mama Mia movies with ABBA tunes. It's an over-the-top production, and they had the best time.
