ABBA makes public appearance together for first time in 36 years
All four members of ABBA reunited in public Thursday night for the first time in 36 years as they attended the opening night of their ABBA Voyage concert residency in London, Page Six reported.
Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, and Björn Ulvaeus walked the red carpet and posed for photos together as they entered the new ABBA Arena in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to watch their own digital avatars hit the stage.
The virtual concert was created by using motion capture technology to make the band look younger and in all of their 1970s glory.
The Swedish pop group was formed in 1972 and broke up in 1982 after eight studio albums. In 2017, the foursome reunited to produce their most recent album, 2021’s “Voyage,” which was supported by singles “I Still Have Faith in You” and “Don’t Shut Me Down.”
Their digital avatars, aka “ABBAtars,” will be performing greatest hits as well as tracks from “Voyage” during the residency with a live 10-piece band.
