ABBA v Fleetwood Mac Disco Party

A disco night at Brixton Jamm that pairs the songs of ABBA with those of Fleetwood Mac, presented as a party built around the two catalogues. It is a tribute-style evening rather than a show by either original group.

The evening draws on two of the best-selling pop and rock catalogues of the 1970s. ABBA, the Swedish pop group formed in Stockholm, won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with Waterloo and went on to release hits such as Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia. Fleetwood Mac, the British and American rock band whose line-up changed over the years, is associated with the albums Rumours and Tusk and with songs including Go Your Own Way and Dreams. Because the title sets the two bands against each other, the night is organised as a disco party in which the material of both is played in turn, rather than as a concert by the original artists.

The event is presented under the Pop, rock and indie genre, and the music is therefore a mix of mainstream pop and classic rock, suited to a dancing crowd. The performers are a party act, not ABBA or Fleetwood Mac themselves, and the night is for listeners who enjoy the songs of both groups and want to dance to them.

Brixton Jamm is a concert venue at 261 Brixton Road in the Brixton area of south London, SW9 6LH. It hosts live music and club nights, and this event takes place there as one of its evenings of popular music.
