Mamma Mia! Party coming to Australia


Get ready to dive into a golden wave of pop history, because the ultimate experience for ABBA fans is coming to Australia. Next year, Sydney is set to host Mamma Mia! The Party, transforming the city into a dazzling celebration of the legendary group.

This isn’t just a dinner; it’s an immersive theatrical dining event. Guests will be transported to a restaurant meticulously recreated to look like a taverna on the Greek island of Skopelos—the very location where much of the iconic movie was filmed. Diners will indulge in delicious Mediterranean cuisine while soaking up the magic of ABBA’s hits, performed by a live band and a cast of twenty musicians and performers.

As the evening unfolds, the atmosphere will transform completely, evolving into a vibrant 1970s-style disco, allowing everyone to live out their “Dancing Queen” dream.

The event is an incredible convergence of music, food, and nostalgia, brought to life by the creators of ABBA, Björn Ulvaeus and Pophouse Entertainment. It is a moment of pure joy, designed to bring audiences together to eat, sing, dance, and experience these beloved songs in a completely new, unforgettable way.

This spectacular Australian premiere is scheduled for March 2027 at the Sydney Event Centre at The Star. This event is being championed by Paul Dainty, whose deep connection to ABBA’s history makes this venture particularly meaningful. Dainty recalls the privilege of promoting ABBA’s first and only Australian tour back in 1977, noting how much excitement followed them across the country.

Australia’s enduring love affair with ABBA is undeniable, weaving itself deeply into the cultural fabric. The group’s music has not only captivated Australians but has remained a touchstone, inspiring new generations and sparking cultural shifts over the decades.

ABBA’s impact on the Australian music scene is massive. The 2021 release of their first studio LP in forty years, Voyager, immediately topped the ARIA Albums Chart, demonstrating the enduring power of their catalog. The sound of Mamma Mia!, a collection of ABBA covers, also reached number one on the ARIA Chart in 2018, proving the massive reach of their music in the nation.

This celebration ties together decades of musical history. From the early success of ABBA to the ongoing cultural influence, the journey is one of shared memory and powerful emotion. Tickets for the Sydney experience go on sale Thursday, November 12. Fans can secure their spot and join the waitlist at mammamiatheparty.com.au.
