ABBA are set to release new music for the first time in 35 years.
The Swedish group, who have sold over 400m albums, say they’ve had an ‘extremely joyful experience’ while teaming up again ahead of a digital tour.
The upcoming shows will see virtual representations of the members at their peak shown performing on stage.
But the real thing could be close to reality as the Eurovision winners, who split in 1982, revealed they had recorded new songs.
A statement posted on the band’s Instagram account said: “The decision to go ahead with the exciting ABBA avatar tour project had an unexpected consequence.
“We all four felt that, after some 35 years, it could be fun to join forces again and go into the recording studio. So we did.
“And it was like time had stood still and that we only had been away on a short holiday. An extremely joyful experience!”
Fans have long awaited Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid getting back together and will eagerly anticipate the release of the two new recordings.
One, I Still Have Faith In You, will be performed by the digital ABBA in a TV special produced by NBC and the BBC, aimed for broadcasting in December.
“We may have come of age, but the song is new. And it feels good,” the statement added.
