ABBA Teamed Up With ILM On A Virtual Concert

ABBA will release its first new music in four decades, and the band is also preparing a new virtual concert. 

The new album titled Voyage will be launched on November 5, plus the band will begin a series of virtual concerts in London on May 27.

"We took a break in the spring of 1982 and now we’ve decided it’s time to end it," ABBA said in a statement Thursday. "They say it’s foolhardy to wait more than 40 years between albums, so we’ve recorded a follow-up to 'The Visitors.'"

The group teamed up with George Lucas’ special-effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, to prepare the show.

"It was suggested to us that we could go on tour as a hologram. And this is now four, five years ago," Björn Ulvaeus said. "And we found out very soon that that wasn’t even possible because holograms is an old technology, but I mean, the vision was there of having our digital selves, that even was a possibility."

The band says they spent hours every day for weeks with motion capture suits to prepare the 22-song, 90-minute show. Would you like to visit one of the shows? What is your favorite song?
