Often hailed as the closest experience to seeing ABBA live, ARRIVAL from Sweden: The Music of ABBA was founded by original ABBA musician Rutger Gunnarsson and Swedish artist Vicky Zetterberg in 1995 in Gothenburg, Sweden. The group quickly became one of the world’s most popular and highest-selling ABBA tribute acts.
Since the start in 1995, the band has toured in over 80 countries, done almost 140 successful U.S. tours and appeared on several TV and radio shows all over the world.
ARRIVAL from Sweden, with its production, “The Music of ABBA,” has sold out arenas and venues all over the world since 1995 and is the absolute best and most authentic ABBA show there is. Hits such as “Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)” and many more are delivered with such accuracy, it’s hard to believe that it’s not the real ABBA on stage.
ARRIVAL from Sweden has also played with more than 150 symphony orchestras throughout the world. The group’s touring history includes successful shows alongside some of the finest orchestras in the U.S., such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Houston Symphony and Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
ARRIVAL from Sweden is the only group to ever have been given a previously unreleased ABBA song directly from Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson of ABBA. The song “Just A Notion” was released by ARRIVAL from Sweden in 1999 and was re-released by the original ABBA in 2021 on their latest record, “Voyage.”
Tickets for ARRIVAL from Sweden: The Music of ABBA are on sale now at RiversCasino.com/Pittsburgh, with the act performing live in concert mid-May. Tickets start at $19.

During the campaign period, guests can contribute $1 or $2 donations with any purchase made in-store, online, or through the Second Cup mobile app. Every $2 raised helps provide one breakfast to a child. This year’s campaign goal of $25,000 will help feed nearly 65 children for an entire school year, or more than two full classrooms.
“Together with our guests and franchise partners, we’re proud to support an organization that makes such a meaningful difference in communities across the country,” said Roxane Desjardins, Marketing Director at Second Cup. “This campaign is a simple yet powerful way for Canadians to come together and help ensure more children start their day with a nutritious breakfast.”
Funds raised will support Breakfast Club of Canada’s network of more than 5,000 school breakfast programs, which collectively reach over 895,000 children nationwide. These programs ensure students have access to nutritious breakfast, setting them up for success in the classroom.
“For a child, a simple breakfast can transform a day, and sometimes even the course of a life. Thanks to Second Cup's ongoing commitment, young people across the country can start their day with the energy they need to thrive,” says Julie Desharnais, President and CEO of Breakfast Club of Canada. “We are deeply grateful for this partnership and the generosity of each customer. Together, we are doing much more than filling plates: we are nurturing the hope, dignity, and confidence that every child deserves to carry with them throughout the day.”
Second Cup has partnered with Breakfast Club of Canada since March 2023. This spring initiative marks the third major collaboration between the two organizations. In 2025 alone, Second Cup raised $40,000 through its spring and fall campaigns.
The campaign will run at participating Second Cup locations across Canada.
