About ABBA Voyage

ABBA, the Swedish pop sensation, needs little introduction. Formed in Stockholm in 1972, the quartet – Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad – quickly rose to global superstardom after their Eurovision win in 1974 with “Waterloo.” Their unique blend of catchy melodies, intricate harmonies, and often poignant lyrics created a string of timeless hits that defined an era. Songs like “Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia,” “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight),” and “The Winner Takes It All” became anthems, selling over 385 million albums and singles worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

After their hiatus in the early 1980s, the band’s legacy only grew, sustained by compilations, musicals, and films. ABBA Voyage represents their astonishing return, not as their current selves, but as their younger, 1979-era ‘ABBAtars.’ This innovative concept sees the four members perform as digital avatars, meticulously crafted using motion-capture technology and state-of-the-art visual effects. This allows fans to experience the band in their prime, creating a live concert atmosphere that feels both authentic and utterly futuristic. It’s a spectacular celebration of their iconic pop style and enduring appeal, delivering their classic hits with unparalleled fidelity.
