ABBA – “Waterloo” (Live) | ABBA Voyage

Few songs in the history of pop music explode with the same joyful urgency and historical weight as “Waterloo.” When ABBA took the stage at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, this vibrant, infectious anthem changed everything — not just for the band, but for the future of European pop itself.

Now, decades later, “Waterloo” comes alive once again through the groundbreaking ABBA Voyage show — a high-tech, emotionally charged spectacle that blurs the line between concert and memory. Performed by the group’s digital avatars (or “ABBAtars”), this version isn’t just nostalgic — it’s electric, immersive, and strangely intimate.

Hearing “Waterloo” live in this new setting feels like meeting an old friend again — one who hasn’t aged, but somehow grown even more vibrant. The harmonies are tight, the energy is sky-high, and the spirit of 1974 lives on with stunning clarity.

From its playful lyrics to its glam-rock flair, “Waterloo” remains a reminder of ABBA’s genius for melody and spectacle — and a celebration of the moment they truly took the world by storm.

“Waterloo – I was defeated, you won the war…” — and ABBA never looked back.
