Codevilla dressed in glitter: "The ABBA Story" comes to Oltrepò Pavese
Get ready to relive Saturday night fever... even on a Sunday! VisitPavia invites you to an unmissable musical and gastronomic evening nestled in the picturesque rolling hills of our region. On Sunday, August 23, 2026, the charming town of Codevilla will transform into a glittering stage to host "The ABBA Story – ABBA Fever", an event set to make generations sing and dance together.
A Theatrical Journey Through Music, Costumes, and Timeless Emotions
The atmospheric setting of Parco delle Rimembranze will serve as the backdrop for an authentic theatrical journey dedicated to the legendary Swedish quartet. Taking the stage will be "ABBA Fever", a renowned tribute band formed in Milan out of a deep passion for ABBA's iconic discography. The band brings together two incredible vocalists bound by a close friendship and four talented musicians from diverse artistic backgrounds.
What sets this tribute show apart is not only the meticulous attention to musical arrangements, but also its striking visual impact. Glittering costumes and vibrant stage presence will transport the audience straight back to the golden era of disco music, bringing timeless hits like Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, and Waterloo to life under the summer sky of the Pavia province.
Evening Program: Dinner at the Park and Live Music
Part of the "Oltrepò in Scena" festival series, supported by local municipalities and regional cultural foundations, this event offers a complete summer evening experience designed for all ages. Before dancing to the classic pop anthems, visitors can enjoy delicious food in a relaxed outdoor setting.
Starting at 8:00 PM, food stands will open directly inside the park, providing a fantastic opportunity to socialize and appreciate the cool evening air of the Oltrepò Pavese countryside. At 9:15 PM, the stage lights will turn on for the main live concert.
