Eurovision bosses ‘planning epic ABBA medley to mark 50 years since group’s iconic win’

Eurovision bosses are reportedly planning to invite stars from the Contest’s history back to the stage to celebrate five decades since ABBA’s victory. 

The Swedish supergroup won the show back in 1974 with their iconic hit single Waterloo and, as Eurovision returns to the country following Loreen’s historic win in Liverpool last year, it seems they’ll be a part of the proceedings. 

“It is 50 years since ABBA won in Brighton with Waterloo and they are going to be celebrated big time when the contest returns to Sweden,” insiders tell The Sun’s Bizarre column.

“The group have made it clear they have no interest in performing again but ABBA’s music will be a major part of the event with a chunk of time put aside for a tribute after all the acts have performed.

“Bringing part of their ABBA Voyage show to Sweden is really complex because the tech is very expensive and complicated, which is why they had to build an arena for it in East London.

“Organisers are racing to try and make it possible but otherwise, a selection of stars, likely all from Sweden, will be singing ABBA’s music instead.

“It will be a memorable moment.”

Tattoo singer Loreen is expected to be among the performers on the night in Malmö, with others to be announced. 

It’s one of a number of ABBA celebrations taking place over the coming weeks and, coinciding with the milestone, ABBA are reissuing their second album, ‘Waterloo’, in April, with a series of vinyl editions featuring the original LP and its classic singles.
