They say it’s foolhardy to wait more than 40 years between albums, so we’ve recorded a follow-up to The Visitors. We took a break in the spring of 1982 and now we’ve decided it’s time to end it. “It’s been a while since we made music together,” the band said in a statement. General tickets are available on September 7th. Made through George Lucas’ Industry Light & Magic, Abba Voyage will take place at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park’s arena in London.

So far the group has shared two songs, the reflective ballad “I Still Have Faith In You” and the disco gem “Don’t Shut Me Down.”ĪBBA will also perform a digital concert on May 27th, 2022 - which they first announced in 2016. Voyage, out November 6th, marks the band’s first time officially reuniting in 40 years. ‘Just a Notion’ is a ridiculously happy song and hopefully, it will cheer you up in these dark times!” There, we will have a live band playing, but all vocals will be from the old recordings. In a way, it demonstrates what we plan to do with ABBA Voyage in 2022. He added, “Now Benny has recorded a new backing track to which we’ve added drums and guitars, but all vocals are from the original 1978 tracks. Sam Smith on Their Favorite Songs of All Time: Celine Dion, Joni Mitchell, and Moreįlashback: U2 Cover 'Dancing Queen' With ABBA's Bjorn and Benny Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly Ask America: How Horny Is Too Horny? So it’s a mystery and will remain a mystery.” I know that we played it to a publisher in France and a couple of other people we trusted and as far as I can remember they liked it very much. Why did we decide against it? In hindsight, I don’t have a clue. “That puts it in between ABBA the Album and Voulez-Vous, and it would have been included in the latter had we not decided against it. “Wikipedia says this track was recorded in September 1978, which sounds about right,” band member Björn Ulvaeus said in a statement. Voyage will feature a total of 10 new tracks, with one Christmas song that could even see the group in contention for this year's coveted Christmas Number 1. Pre-orders for Voyage have also set a record for their label Universal Music UK, with 80,000 copies already sold before its release. The latter of the two became their first UK Top 10 single in 40 years, and started something of an ABBA Mania on the charts - with greatest hits collection ABBA Gold also re-entering the Top 5.

The first taste of Voyage came from ABBA's first original music in 35 years - the double-single I Still Have Faith In You and Don't Shut Me Down.

Last month, the pop pioneers announced their comeback, with the release of Voyage on November 5 and a state-of-the-art digital concert residency to take place in London.
