The Swedish quartet returns with a ninth and final opus entitled "Voyage".
40 years after its dissolution of the group, Abbamania once again seizes the world, since the comeback of the winners of Eurovision in 1974, with "Waterloo", has toured the globe.
It is a mythical group which is reborn from its ashes.
Abba returns with a new album,
Voyage
, 40 years after its disbandment.
The Swedish quartet with 400 million albums sold worldwide and planetary hits offers a journey back to the future.
A show with digital avatars
Because to fully satisfy the Abbamania, the group is currently building a room in London that can accommodate, from May 2022, a show including their avatars digitized with their face from 1979, the "Abbatars".
The comeback of the Eurovision winners in 1974, with "Waterloo", has toured the globe.
The day before the release of the third single in scout, "Just A Notion", on October 22, the hashtag #ABBA already had 1.4 billion views on TikTok (2.2 billion this week).

The last trip
To what do we owe this fervor for artists now in their seventies?
"There is this image of happy days, carefree, colorful, sparkling, linked to their songs and their costumes, it recalls the 1970s, associated with a certain lightness that is lacking in the years 2010-2020", dissects Jean-Marie Potiez, official ABBA biographer for French speaking countries.
In any case, fans would do well to take advantage of it, since the third most profitable group in the world, behind the Beatles and Elvis Presley, have already announced that this
Voyage will
be the last.
