Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid er tilbake med ABBA VOYAGE


En revolusjonær konsert og et splitter nytt album: Voyage

Torsdag 2. september - ABBA, en av verdens mest suksessrike popgrupper noensinne, annonserer i dag at de etter 40 år er tilbake med en revolusjonær konsertopplevelse. Agnetha, Björn, Benny og Anni-Frid vil opptre digitalt og live med et band på ti medlemmer i London fra 27. mai 2022, og med et splitter nytt album.


Mer informasjon og sitater nedenfor:

The digital versions of ABBA have been created following weeks and months of motion-capture and performance techniques with the four band members and an 850-strong team from Industrial Light & Magic, the company founded by George Lucas, in what is the company’s first foray into music.

Now, an incredible 40 years since their last studio album The Visitors, ABBA have not only recorded two new songs, ‘I Still Have Faith In You’ and ‘Don’t Shut Me Down’, that will both feature in the concert, but they have recorded and produced an entire new album. Recorded together at Benny’s studio Riksmixningsverket in Stockholm, Voyage will be released worldwide on 5th November on Universal Music Group.

ABBA Voyage will open 27th May 2022 at the ABBA Arena, a state-of-the-art 3,000 capacity arena located at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. Pre-registration for tickets opens at 6pm tonight on abbavoyage.comwith tickets on general sale from Tuesday 7th September, see below for more detail.

The ABBA Voyage concert is made with the help of: Producer Svana Gisla (David Bowie Blackstar/Lazarus, Beyoncé and Jay Z for HBO, Springsteen and I), Producer Ludvig Andersson (And Then We Danced, Yung Lean - “In My Head”, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again), Director Baillie Walsh (Flashbacks of a Fool, Being James Bond, Springsteen and I), Co-Executive Producer Johan Renck (Spaceman, David Bowie Blackstar/Lazarus, Chernobyl) and Choreographer Wayne McGregor CBE (The Royal Ballet, Company Wayne McGregor, Paris Opera Ballet).

Svana Gisla, Producer, and Ludvig Andersson, Producer:

“The magic of ABBA and the herculean efforts of this whole magnificent team reaches a long awaited milestone today.  To be able to finally share this endeavour with the world is a proud moment for us and we can't wait to welcome you to our arena in East London, a place where we are so happy to be.”

Baillie Walsh, Director:

"I watched ABBA win the Eurovision song contest in 1974, and never did I imagine that 47 years later I would be with them on this extraordinary voyage. Life is weird and wonderful sometimes." 

Wayne McGregor, Choreographer: Imagine: growing up in the North of England in the 70’s and learning to ballroom, Latin and disco dance to the incredible songs of ABBA. I was 8 and I was totally transported. Fast forward to 2020, being in Sweden and dancing with ABBA - in real life! I was about to be 50 and I was totally transported again. That is the magic of ABBA.

We have shared many creative and joyful adventures with a bold collaborative team to make the impossible possible for ABBA Voyage: technological wizardry, state of the art immersion and entertainment innovation. And still at its searing heart we simply have new songs, new moves, classic songs, classic moves: ABBA is DANCE and always will be. See you on the dancefloor”.

Sir Lucian Grainge, Chairman & CEO, Universal Music Group:

“From the very beginning of my career, and having had the privilege to work with them directly for many years since, it's been a tremendous joy to be surrounded by ABBA and their music. Their boundless creativity and timeless melodies makes us want to partner with them on everything they do because we know it will be simply great.”

The music video for ‘I Still Have Faith In You’ has been directed by Shynola.

Askepott-vri og cowboyvibes i Carina Dahl og Zadekings nye singel11.9.2025 09:00:00 CEST | Pressemelding

Fredag 12. september er det duket for fest når Zadeking og Carina Dahl gir ut låta Cowboyhatten. Den energiske og catchy låten kombinerer et lekent cowboy-univers med et tydelig Cinderella-tema, men i stedet for en glassko er det eieren av cowboyhatten det letes etter. Musikken får ekstra liv gjennom visuelt innhold spilt inn i en ekte cowboy-by i Strömstad, hvor både rånere og bygdeliv setter stemningen. Zadeking forklarer bakgrunnen til låta slik: “Låta ‘Cowboyhatten’ er inspirert av den klassiske Disney filmen Askepott. I filmen prøver prinsen å finne hvem som passer skoen mens vi har tvistet det til: hvem passer egentlig denne cowboyhatten? Samarbeidet med Carina har vært helt on point! Elsker viben vi hadde i studio ho er en utrolig dyktig artist som jeg garantert kommer til å jobbe med igjen.” Carina er også veldig entusiastisk over samarbeidet, og sier dette om tilblivelsen av låta: “Vi trenger mer samarbeid mellom norske artister, og hele reisen fra studio til videoinnspilling

Andrea Bredesen Holm slipper etterlengtet versjon av «Lykkelig uten meg»29.8.2025 07:00:00 CEST | Pressemelding

Etter å ha gått viralt på TikTok med sin egen tolkning av Sebastian Zalos «Lykkelig uten meg», slipper årets The Voice-vinner Andrea Bredesen Holm endelig sin versjon av låta. Responsen på TikTok var enorm, med tusenvis av likes, og mange ønsker om en utgitt versjon. “Jeg har valgt å covre «Lykkelig uten meg» fordi det er en skikkelig fin låt, men en veldig vakker tekst. Jeg er veldig opptatt av tekst og formidling og elsker låter som dette. Jeg har selv ikke hatt det så lett blant annet i oppveksten, så kjenner sårheten i teksten. Føle at man står fast i en vanskelig periode kanskje. Første gang jeg hørte låta satt jeg med en stor klump i halsen. Den traff virkelig. Uten at jeg vet helt hvorfor egt. Den er ganske melankolsk, og handler om å gå igjennom noe vondt å vanskelig. Men at det ofte kan ordne seg til slutt ❤️ Mange måter å relatere til låter på. Finnes ikke en fasit!! Gleder meg til å vise den, og håper folk liker versjonen.❤” Andrea Bredesen Holm Andrea, bare 19 år gammel, ha
