In London, the Swedish group ABBA is making a comeback.

The quartet gave way to holograms.

Nearly 3,000 people were able to observe the group as it was in the 70s. For this first concert, the four members of the group, Anni-Frid, Björn, Benny and Agnetha, made the trip. 

If some dream of eternal youth, the group ABBA approached it this Thursday.

Thanks to digitalization, the septuagenarians were in concert Thursday in London, or rather their holograms.

It's been almost 40 years since the Swedish group was back on stage.

And for more than an hour and a half, the public could observe the four members as they were in the 70s.

In front of 3,000 people, a giant screen was installed and on which the holograms of the four members are projected.

Thanks to a play of lights, the spectators had the impression of seeing the group ABBA in flesh and blood on stage.

A technical feat, produced in collaboration with the visual effects company of the director, known for having directed the

saga , Georges Lucas. 

"We are back"

Also present at the concert to observe the show away from the stage, the four members of the group (Anni-Frid, Björn, Benny and Agnetha) were delighted to see the result.

"We loved working in the studio. Music is part of us. That's why we're back", explained Agnetha at the microphone of Europe at the end of the concert. 

And if the series of concerts planned in London is a success, the group will then consider a world tour.
