”Waterloo” was initially formed in 1996 and quickly became known for its fantastic ABBA-sound and the stunning look-alike show they put on. The audience and press all agreed – ”this is the closest to ABBA you´ll ever get”.

During 1998 – 2001 Waterloo toured clubs and festivals all around Scandinavia, Belgium and Asia.

2001 - 2008 Waterloo went into collaboration with the London National Symphony Orchestra and ABBA THE SHOW was born. It told the Story of ABBA. The premiére show was in Skien, Norway September 24th 2001.

This show was followed by hundreds of ABBA THE SHOW performances all over the world, to name but a few:

• 5 consecutive USA-tours 2002 – 2006 with sold-out shows at the famous Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles (17 000 people), Highland Park in Chicago (20 000 people), Seaside Summer Concert Series in Brooklyn, N.Y. (11 000 people) and many more.
• 2 tours in Germany. The band performed for 3000 – 10 000 people every night.
• 3 tours in Spain.
• 5 tours in Scandinavia.
• Tours in Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.
• A sold-out performance at The Royal Albert Hall in London, England september 26th 2007.

Overall, Waterloo has performed in more than 20 countries all over the world.

During all these tours the show has always consisted of two or three guest artists who once were original members of the ABBA rythm section. Over the years saxophone player Ulf Andersson, guitarists Mats Ronander, Lasse Wellander and Janne Schaffer, drummers Ola Brunkert and Roger Palm and bassist Rutger Gunnarsson have performed with the band.

It´s been a great privilege to have shared the stage with these fantastic legendary musicians!

In 2004 Waterloo signed an exclusive management deal with Swedish production- & managing company FTS Showbusiness AB. Together with FTS Waterloo, the band, is always making plans on how to develop the show and make it better and better.

The past few years have been extremely successful for Waterloo. Part from touring all over the world, the band has also put up five different well received Christmas shows in Stockholm (2003), Gothenburg (2004), Ronneby (2005), Västerås (2006), Ystad and Borås (2008) together with some of Swedens biggest pop/rock/musical stars.

In October 2007, April 2008 and Oct/Nov 2009 Waterloo did three longer domestic tours that was set up by FTS Showbusiness AB.

Waterloo will most certainly continue to remain in the top, playing the great music of ABBA with the same respect as before. The band will keep up the quality of the music to remain the most professional ABBA production on the market.

A development of the show will continue during 2010 to give audiences all over the world what they´re paying to come and see.
