- Pop legends ABBA are taking a big punt on their latest immersive project, founding member Bjorn Ulvaeus has told CNBC.
The much-anticipated immersive performance called ABBA Voyage is billed as “a concert 40 years in the making,” and features digital avatars of the Swedish supergroup accompanied by a 10-piece live band.
I've been enjoying ABBA for 48 years. They're part of my life.
BJØRN, THE GREATEST SONGWRITER OF ALL TIME 🤩
Good luck ABBA and All the Best!😇😍
I wish Abba every success with this concert. It sounds so exciting. Its good to hear some of the lesser known songs will be included because I think they are just as great as the big hits. Love Abba🤩
I think the two lesser known songs are" "eagle' and "I've been waiting for you" are on the set list.
@@VideosSmokin Wow! Two great songs. I've been waiting for you has always been one of my favourites and Eagle will sound amazing in the arena. Thanks for the info.
Oh, it‘s very good to see you NOT sitting on the sofa enjoying the time. You still have visions. You still love the change. To create something new. I hear you singing the song „times they are a changing“ in an absolutely positive way, if you know what I mean. Because of that, ABBA is still alive. And, because they feel just ordinary people, they are so extraordinary. So good to see you, so good to hear you. Thank you for all those wonderful vibes 🥰🤗
I wish ABBA success and more greatness with this Awesome Voyage Concert. They deserve all the credit and kudos for bringing us some of the Best Musica ever in the history of Mankind..Viva ABBA! ❤👍🎶🇺🇸
It’s their energy.
And willingness to polish their songs to perfection
I wish ABBA well with everything with the Avatars concert. I wish I could attend, I live in the USA and I simply can’t afford to travel the distance. ABBA has always been my favorite musical groups. No one sounds the same and never will. ♥️♥️
I 'm so proud and it's obvious that he's proud too.Abba's second coming happened due to public's sheer demand.All these years ago.That did justice to us older fans who suffered from all those sour critics at the time that were dismissing Abba as "forgetable commercial crap",trying to convince us that this "pap groupie" was no big deal and "non serious" kind of music!.But we were not morons to support them and to feel that this band had something really superior,exotic and exceptional! And time proved,how tragically wrong those critical voices were!And i'm so very happy about it!But better late than never.Thank you Bjorn.Thank you all 4 of you!
There are another new generation of sour critics to replace the bitter earlier ones who died unable to convince themselves that ABBA were actually talented and loved by millions of fans across FOUR generations. ABBA's talent is well proven and Bjorn's humility is obvious and very ingratiating.
@@mikevale3620Hi Mike well Yes,but fortunately this time they are less than the ones that were in the '70s/early'80s.And hope they do get lost in obscurity as well!lol!Sorry if i sound rude,but after so many years i'm still angry about it and can't forget.Benny stated some weeks ago that it was the first time that with VOYAGE album and singles, they had the most positive reviews ever compared to the times they were releasing records at their past active years.And i have also realized that about 90-95 per cent were positive indeed.I remember back in the days it was the other way round.Really painful.UK and USA press were main problem.Rest of the world was rather ok though. "Melody maker" paper once wrote about an ABBA single. in 1975 ."this is so bad that it hurts!"Imagine that even fellow rock musicians kinda disagreed with what was written and many of them were defending the Swedes.Let's see what will happen tommorow after the premier.....
The best part about all this happening with ABBA and Voyage, is that ABBA can give the big middle finger to all those critical critics....because even before it's debuted...ABBA Voyage is a HUGE success...not to mention the Voyage album was an insane success all around the world, and yes even in the US, (where it became their highest charting album ever at #2).
@@jay_ooh "...can give the middle finger..."ha!ha!Well i just recalled Meryl Streep's reaction when she received an award in 2008 for MM! movie.She very "kindly" said similar thing on her speech stating something like that this award is the one she enjoyed the most cause it kinda knocked out the teeth of the critics, while she proudly smiled in both full joy and irony,raising her hands "showing off" her prize!But neverthless no matter even if you are perfect,if someone is jealous or narrow minded and predjudiced upon you and want to take offense of something, he will surely find a way.Just ignore and pass by,same way we should react to trolls.
GREAT MUSIC never goes out of vogue, and ABBA is the GREATEST MUSIC in popular music history.
This is a dream come true for an old-time fan
Brilliant comes to mind when I 🤔 of ABBA. LOVE YOU ALL💛 XXXX💛🧡
I am a fan abba music till now.tamilnadu.india.great interview.
I can easily answer Bjorn's why ABBA is so appreciated and appealing.
We can never forget ABBA, the greatest musical groups of all time!!! The harmony of the girls are and are still stupendous and I’ve never found any other group that has made the same impact or sound as ABBA. Will always love you all. As always, thank you for the music…………even now. ♥️♥️
I envy anyone and everyone that will be able to experience this, not sure if I could ever travel to the U.K. from America. This is monumental in a lot of ways, musically and technology just to name a few , and it such a blessing that all four members of ABBA are here to witness it.
abba pioneers 🙏
Great choice to let some Album tracks be part of the set list instead of just creating a Greatest Hits Show. I'd love to be there in the near future.
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE ABBA SINCE THE 70S ABSOLUTELY ICONIC AMAZING AWESOME AND THE MOST FAMOUS SWEDISH POP GROUP EVER TO EVOLVE LOVE YOU ABBA TO THE MOON AND BACK ❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤😊😊
Genius 😊❤️🎸🎤🎶
They're very blessed with talent writing and singing.
I'm more into extreme metal myself, but I can't wait to see this concert to see how well the visual aspect will flow with their songs. That's how big ABBA are.
How many bands/artists build their OWN arena???? Havent heard of any yet…but
ABBA ofc !!
This the first, it new techonolgy, Give it time other artists are coming forward with the idea.
Мужчина моей мечты! Спасибо что вы.есть.
The answer is simple. ABBA music contains pure joy, and pure melancholy. No additives.
I was so happy when he said some of the not so known songs will be included,many people only know ABBA through their big hits,many other songs on their albums are just as good,if you are a real fan you will know what I mean.I’m so looking forward to the show
My Feeling is...
This great success depends on the Special Energy, Chemie, Creativity, and in the harmony of music and voices goibg into Flow together. That Special Magic behind, it's a Gift! That makes it possible still have faith into each Other.
That's for me the carismatic Power of this 4er constellation... i'm Happy about the Reunion thank you for the Music!! 💛💛💛💛🍀🍀🍀🍀🌊🌊🌊🌊
😍Love ABBA😍
I've heard numerous accounts the voyage concert is far better than anyone expected, I was lucky enough to see them in 1977 in Australia and from the 3rd row, hope to get to see voyage also

beginning of '83 was when the break came into effect.
I have lived real time that period.It was hard and devastating.As time went by, the gap they had left was even more obvious.By the late '80s,hesitant hints of "Abba nostalgia" was starting to surface up.Till today, rest is history.
Bjorn le grand phenomen de ABBA ,,
1:18 You basically answered the question, Björn. You wrote and recorded the best songs you could, and that's why people still love ABBA. When you have Sweden's best songwriters and best vocalists in one group, it shouldn't be surprising that you are successful. Plain and simple.
Love ya Bjorn simply the best along with Benny Andersson truly our super troupers ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
*Eu queria tanto que o vídeo tivesse a tradução!!!!!!!Eu queria saber o que o Björn fala!!!!!!🥺*
Abba is still HUGE.
0:11 Are all journalists pre-programmed to ask the same questions over and over again?
Bjoern was ever sympathic...
🥂
ive noticed that authors who have uploaded excerpts of the concert on this platform have now either deleted them or just taken them down in favour of promotional videos TALK ABOUT SUSPICIOUS OR KILLJOYS
wonder when you can get a dvd of the concert bet it ll never happen
❤
he has barely aged
