ABBA tease a huge announcement ahead of their new project
Updated | By Darren, Keri and Sky
New music coming through from the iconic quartet.
In 1972, songwriters Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson from The Hep Stars and singers Agnetha Faltskog and Anna-Frid Lyngstad, who had scored success as solo artists, came together to form the band, ABBA. And they have since been one of the most acclaimed pop bands in the world. They now return with an exciting new project!
So, if you have been following the 'Mamma Mia' hitmakers, you will know they recently launched a new website titled, 'ABBA Voyage', asking fans to register their interest to be the first in line to hear more about this upcoming project. It has been a long 39 years since they last shared music with the world. ABBA fans, get ready to jam to your fave Swedish band real soon.

The band announced in 2016 that they would be hosting a hologram tour. Thereafter, they took to the studio in 2018 to record two new songs, I Still Have Faith In You and Don't Shut Me Down, which were then delayed.
Now, get ready for not two or three but five new songs from the quartet! This is an ode to the fans for being patient and loyal during their long wait.
ABBA Voyage teased a huge announcement for next week.
