The iconic foursome from Sweden will always hold a special place in the hearts of Kiwis, with their 1975 album The Best Of Abba still New Zealand’s most popular record, selling 360,000 copies and going 24-times-platinum.
And now Abba are set to delight fans around the globe after reuniting for a new album and a string of spectacular shows, unlike anything they’ve done before.
“There’s an old saying in the music industry – you should not leave more than 40 years between albums,” Bjorn Ulvaeus, 76, joked last week of the surprise comeback.
NEW ALBUM & TOUR
Bjorn joined former bandmates Agnetha Faltskog, 71, Anni-Frid “Frida” Lyngstad, 75, and Benny Andersson, 74, to announce the news that their new album, Voyage, will be out in November, making it the very long-awaited follow-up to 1981’s The Visitors.
In a taste of what’s to come, Abba also released two singles, I Still Have Faith In You and Don’t Shut Me Down – which in time will no doubt join the band’s classic hits collection, housing unforgettable tracks such as Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia and Waterloo.
