ABBA Have Reunited After 40 Years, And They've Got CGI Versions Of Their Young Selves To Perform A Concert
If just reading the headline had you screaming "Mamma mia" then this is just the article for you. ABBA is probably one of the most famous groups that have ever existed, and it speaks volumes that even I know some of their songs by heart even though I wasn't around back when they were in their prime.
ABBA was at its peak during the 70s, and just about everyone was listening to this Swedish pop group that was gaining followers quickly. So the news of them reuniting after 40 years went around quickly, and people of all ages were excited to hear this.
Keep in mind that this isn't just a small reunion to do a quick concert of some old songs or a press tour. The legendary group from Sweden announced a brand new album called "Voyage" meaning that after 40 years, we're getting some new ABBA songs.
They've also announced a concert which will be a fusion of old and new, but not just in terms of songs. They got digital artists to create CGI versions of ABBA members in their prime that will perform alongside their actual counterparts in the concert.
They're also building a giant arena, and you can learn more about that below.

This is another one of the masterfully created ads for the reunion
And what would a concert of this significance and size be without a massive new arena in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park where the virtual versions of ABBA members will perform alongside an orchestra
And just like every other great comeback, this tour will feature songs from their brand new album "Voyage", as well as their older songs that we'll never get tired of hearing
You can listen to the 10 new songs on YouTube right now like this one. "I still have faith in you" reflects on the band's experience from the past to the present.
And the song "Don't Shut Me Down" is guaranteed to bring up some nostalgia. The song hits all of the chords that made millions of people fall in love with ABBA back in the day.
So there you have it, ABBA really is coming back and they're doing it in the most spectacular way. And we wouldn't want to have it any other way because ABBA is the kind of group that deserves the most.
I hope this was some incredible news to start your day the right way.
