Abba's back - 8th September 2021
Abba is making a new album. Their fans are excited. They are having a show in London.
Abba is a famous group from Sweden. They won Eurovision in 1974. The famous song was Waterloo. But the new album is the first in 40 years.
Mansa Faddaoui is the manager of the ABBA museum in Stockholm. She's very excited about this news.
Mansa Faddaoui: "Where should I start? It feels magical, it feels like a dream, it feels like we’ve been waiting for this for a long time. We [ABBA the museum] opened in 2013 and about 2018 we heard about some new songs, today I heard two of them - how crazy is that?"
Abba sold 400 million albums in the past. But, people can buy the new album from November 5th, 2021. The album's name is Voyage. It has 10 songs. And the first show is in 2022. But, this concert is special. The band members Anni-Frid, Agnetha, Benny and Bjorn are over 70 years old. They don't have the energy for big shows. So, they are going to use technology.
And, Abba fans are excited to hear their music again.
Hakan: "I’m knocked out! ABBA is back! ABBA is back! ABBA are avatars!"
Johanna Pihl: "I think there is enormous shock in my entire body just looking at the video when it started to roll out in its entirety of this global event and the fantastic sensation of being all together and now we’re finally able to be all together in some sort of way after all this. "
The first concert is May 2022, in London. Fans are extremely happy!
Hakan: "I absolutely have to go to London to watch this [the ABBA show]. Amazing good"
