ABBA are currently causing a lot of speculation: “There’s exciting news on the way,” the band posted in their Facebook fan group, which was founded on the occasion of the last album “Voyage”.
The fans have been at a loss so far, the Swedes have not yet given any further information: “New music, a whole new album, Björn and Agnetha are getting married again and ABBA win a Grammy” – the participants in the group are puzzled so wildly.
Will there be new music from ABBA?
The current album “Voyage” was only released recently, in November 2021. Although it was announced as the band’s last, the band members seemed to have recently disagreed whether there should be new music again. Lyngstad explained in an interview with the BBC that she had learned “never to say never”. And her colleague Andersson, who was actually against the production of further songs, told the BBC that he did not have the sole right to decide and could possibly be persuaded. So the last word has not yet been spoken and it is open whether a new ABBA single could be released soon.
Could the Avatar tour also come to Germany?
It would also be possible for the pop band to announce further dates for their extraordinary avatar show: so far, Germany has only been on the waiting list for this. Will the virtual concert series also be making guest appearances here soon? So far, the concert hall built especially for the event is in London, where the lifelike avatars of Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad are to perform their hits night after night from the end of May accompanied by a live band. The hall can be set up and dismantled at any location and ticket sales for London were very good despite the unconventional concept, which could speak for an expansion of the tour.
Most recently, ABBA dedicated their title “Ode to Freedom” to Ukraine on Facebook, thereby taking a stand against the war. But the official separation of Ulvaeus and ex-wife Lena also made headlines. Whether there will be a love comeback with Fältskog, as some fans conjure up on Facebook, is unclear.
