Kylie Minogue was the star attraction at a concert in London’s Hyde Park last night playing tribute to the music of Swedish super-group Abba.

The BBC website reports that the Australian pop star performed their 1980 hit 'Super Trouper' and later sang 'When All Is Said and Done' with Abba’s Benny Andersson. She described the chance to perform with Andersson as "a dream come true."

The event was hosted by Chris Evans, Tim Rice and Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgard who recently starred in the film version of Abba’s 'Mamma Mia' alongside Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan.

A variety of music stars performed including Jason Donovan, Lulu, Chaka Khan, Jamie Cullum and Elaine Page. The cast of the stage version of 'Mamma Mia' also took part in the concert.

Abba's Bjorn Ulvaeus said "I'm not a nostalgic person but tonight took me back." He continued "Life can be pretty wonderful. Thank you for giving us this unforgettable experience."
