Swedish pop quartet Abba is back with a new 10-track album

40 years after they split up, the band has also announced a virtual concert

Scheduled to be released in November, the news of Abba’s new studio album, Voyage, has fans waiting in eager anticipation. Two tracks from the album—I Still Have Faith In You and Don’t Shut Me Down—premiered on Thursday at a virtual press conference. Instead of attempting to recreate the Abba of the 1970s, these new tracks with their softer melodies, have a hint of nostalgia in them - a feeling that will perhaps be reciprocated by their fans, when the album drops on November 5. 

 

The virtual concert with ‘Abba-tars’ will open in London on May 27 next year. The digital show has attempted to recreate Abba in their prime and will come with a 10 piece live band accompaniment. It was shot over five weeks with VFX creators hard at work to bring alive band members Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid. Tickets for the concert will be sold from September 7 onwards.
