UNITED KINGDOM – ABBA premiered their highly-anticipated digital concert tour, โVoyageโ today (May 26). View official photos from the event below.

Many attendees took to social media to react to the lifelike concert event. โI was prepared to be cynical,โ one fan wrote. โBut the Abba Voyage show blew me away. Canโt work [out how] they did it, but it felt like a real concert. Amazing, amazing stuff. And a little curtain call at the end. So touching.โ
โI donโt wish to swear, but ABBA looking f*cking STUNNING!!โ another attendee said. โIconic superstars looking every bit as effortlessly classic as they should!โ
โIn case you were wondering, ABBA โVoyageโ is the greatest show on earth,โ actor Matt Lucas said. โMy jaw hit the floor the moment it began and itโs still down there.โ View more reactions below.

Meanwhile, Ulvaeus told it was โa bit surrealโ to see the digital, disco-era versions of themselves on stage at first, โbut, you get used to it.โ He added: โAfter all, weโve seen ourselves in pictures and videos from the time almost every day for 40 years.โ
After the show, the band came out for an official curtain call. Earlier today, when asked if the concert was a parting gift from the band, Ulvaeus told NME, โI think this is it. Itโs sad to say that but then again, you can always take it back, canโt you? So the answer is, it could be yes, it could be no.โ
Andersson had a similar response when asked if the concert series would be the end for the Swedish band, joking: โThis is what youโll see, this is what youโll get. Then weโll go home and weโll sleep.โ
@abbavoyage What a night! #ABBAVoyage #ABBA
Last September the creators of ABBAโs โVoyageโ spoke to NME about the creation of the concert, the chemistry of the band and how long itโs expected to run for.

Producer Svana Gisla said: โWe donโt want to give all the surprises away because we want everyone to come and enjoy it, but there will be lots of hidden surprises, hopefully, a bit of stage banter and 100 minutes of pure ABBA euphoria to be part of in this arena that someone had the brilliant idea of theirs building in the middle of a pandemic and Brexit. People talk about โimmersive experiencesโ a lot, but I donโt think that phrase has ever been truly delivered. I hope that when you stand in that arena, within everything that weโve created specifically to give you that experience, youโll go, ‘Ah, thatโs what it really means’. The audio, the visuals, everything is 360 and there will just be ABBA in the air.โ
