the group was very good they look a lot like abba and sound good
Very enjoyable, good seats, but the sound was a bit too loud.
This group was fantastic. Great voices, great musicians, great timing and production values. The crowd at this venue averaged in age between 75 and 190 years old and were nearly asleep for the entire show. During a segment of "Mamma Mia" when the girls asked the audience to sing a verse, you couldn't hear anything (unless you were singing). It was a terrible crowd with no energy. They never stood up, never clapped, never danced (except for 8-10 nursing home patients who wheeled themselves up and down the aisles. Through all this, Arrival still performed splendidly and with alot of energy and excitement. I can only imagine how it would be if they had an excited crowd to draw enthusiasm from. I can't wait to see them again...somewhere else!!:)) (Note: Venue itself was lovely. Just wasn't very "lively" compared to what you might expect.)
Excellent how they all performed and They all have super energy.
Arrival from Sweden "The Music of ABBA" performed Wednesday night inside 'The Hanger' at the OC Fair to another sell-out crowd for the second year in a row and showed why this is without question THE best ABBA show band in the world! Arrival's stellar set list of ABBA songs more than delighted the cheering audience who were joyfully singing along & even dancing in front of their seats throughout the show. The superb band of talented singers & musicians on stage that is Arrival from Sweden is the closet one will ever get to that of the original ABBA.
Everything about them was Abba, except the heavy key broad player. The sound, the look was right on.
I had low expectations but I was so amazed on how good this group was. I love ABBA and I know I could never see them in concert this is as close I can ever be. Amazing how good they are. I loved that they told the story of Abba that was really A+. Keep up the good work and I would definately go see them again.
I understand this is an annual event and I will be sure to get tickets for next year! We had a great time! We sang and danced...it was awesome.
Performers were first class. Looked and sounded like ABBA. No lip singing. They were great. Enjoyed the video screen in background projecting sings in a larger than life image.
They covered every song, perfectly. Great performance, amazing singing, flawless instrumentals, wonderful production. I loved it. If you like or love ABBA you'll enjoy this show. Don't wait until the end to dance, you know you want to, do it.
Awesome! So much fun, felt like an actual abba concert.
Great show. If your an ABBA fan, you must see this group.
My son is a Abba freak and sang every song but 2. Great music
The group Arrival was Great ! Very enjoyable concert! Will definately see this group again!
overall it was a great experience, Penn's Peak is is great and has a wonderful view. The group was great. Music was very upbeat and fun to dance to. The only negative comment is that at times the music was so loud that I couldn't hear the vocalist and some of the words were lost. Knowing the words helped me, but if someone was in the audience didn't know the words that may have been lost and may not have enjoyed the concert as much.
Took my wife there for our anniversary and birthday. An absolutely fantastic show. If you love Mama Mia and/or are just an ABBA fan...don't miss them!!
Great show! Singers and band were very energetic. 90 minute show with no intermission. Penns Peak is a great venue. We were out on the road in 2 minutes after the concert. What a difference from AC and Philly venues.
Loved it! I would go again in a heart beat. My whole group loved it.
Arrival is as close to ABBA as we are likely to get. They certainly had the music and the 70's/80's "look" down. That said, I did feel that the background music overwhelmed the singing too often (way too much drum) and the pace was too fast -- that is, faster than the original (to my ears). Still, if you are a fan of ABBA, the best of their songs were represented and well done. They got the audience dancing in the aisles, even before they did "Dancing Queen"! The concert was great and over too soon.
