After 40 years of waiting, it was finally the premiere of Abbas’ new stage show “Abba Voyage” in London on Thursday night.

During Thursday night’s concert, the so-called “abbats” – holograms of the four group members – took the stage in the specially built Abba arena in east London.

During the 90-minute long show, 22 songs are performed, two of them are newly released “I still have faith in you” and “Do not shut me down”.

By placing electrodes on the bodies of Abba members, it has been possible to capture and recreate their faces and expressions for the “abbots”.
