ABBA Comes Back Live In Concert After 40 Years As “ABBA-tars”


Digital avatars of the members of ABBA performing on stage

In just a few weeks, ABBA will release their first new album in 40 years and it’s going to lead to one of the most ambitious live tours ever imagined. Starting in May of 2022, ABBA Voyage opens in a new custom built arena on the outskirts of London specifically designed for a show that is a digital and live spectacle years in the making.

Virtually recreated “ABBA-tars” of each original member of the group will perform all the band’s greatest hits in a sound and light show that looks to be something people have never seen. The rapidly selling show will blend the virtual and physical world together in a new sort of experience that could become the norm for how live concert experiences are done. Especially nostalgic ones with aging rock stars (and their fans) who want to relive those former glory days.
