***ABBA broke up as a touring band back in the 80s, but only recently launched a virtual concert series called ABBA Voyage. The concerts feature virtual avatars (dubbed 'ABBAtars'), depicting the group as they appeared in 1977. The concerts are held in a purpose-built venue at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, officially called the ABBA Arena. This could be considered a concert tour since I failed to say live performance. I gave points to everyone regardless of response. Sorry for the unfortunate gaffe.

The concerts feature virtual avatars (dubbed 'ABBAtars'), depicting the group as they appeared in 1977. The concerts are held in a purpose-built venue at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, officially called the ABBA Arena.

If the ABBAtars had mobile holographic emitters, they wouldn't be confined to the Arena.

jarnon ~~ 27

A player picking 5 of the bands randomly would average only 5 points, so 27 is not too bad.
