ABBA break their 39-year hiatus to release new music
The Swedish pop band ABBA are rumoured to be releasing new music this Friday, breaking their 39-year hiatus.
The global hitmakers are preparing to make their comeback with a show called Abba Voyage, which will see hologram projections of their younger selves beamed on stage to perform their songs.
A source reported, 'ABBA are finally making their comeback and plan to release their first new music in 39 years next Friday — it's huge.'
The Abba Voyage will follow the group’s highly-anticipated comeback in a high tech show that will reportedly open next month in an East London theatre.
The insider added. “Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha and Anni-Frid will all be there on the opening night. And they will finally unveil their Abba-tars, which are like holograms of themselves.”
“The show will feature the Abba-tars performing and speaking to the audience. It will be like taking a step back in time for those watching.”
Plans for the band’s return have been in place since 2019, but were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The comeback comes after reports surfaced on Tuesday that the group were set to hold a press conference in Stockholm, leading to a flurry of speculation that a huge announcement could be on the cards.
In 2018, the Swedish quartet announced that they were recording new tracks, and that they have more songs than originally planned.
In a statement announcing the new songs, ABBA said at the time,”'The decision to go ahead with the exciting ABBA avatar tour project had an unexpected consequence.”
“We all four felt that, after some 35 years, it could be fun to join forces again and go into the recording studio.”
