***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.

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

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