Back in 1974, Sweden won for the first time the Eurovision Song Contest with the entry Waterloo performed by ABBA.

The song became a huge international hit and was the starting point of their legendary international career.

Today (Thursday 15 June) between 6.45pm and 7pm a blue plaque will be unveiled at The Dome saying “Thank you for the music“, honouring ABBA’s win. The event will be broadcast live by BBC Sussex.
