ABBA Voyage

[2] The concerts are held in ABBA Arena, a purpose-built venue in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

[10] In September 2017, Benny Andersson told Swedish newspaper Expressen that there were plans for ABBA to tour "virtually", using digital avatars of the group.

[2] In April 2018, the four members issued a statement saying that during preparations for the tour, they had regrouped in the studio and had recorded two new songs, titled "I Still Have Faith in You" and "Don't Shut Me Down".

The concerts feature a 10-piece live band playing alongside the group's digital avatars, performing 22 of ABBA's songs.

[14] Andersson commented that while building the setlist, the band realised that "we cannot not play [the hits] but we also wanted to give the concert some dynamics, so there are a few songs that the audience will not be too familiar with, but we like them so we put them in.

On-stage, an LED display shows the band in scale, as it would appear if performers really were there, and in the monitors to the sides of the stage the image is fully computer-generated.

[17] The ABBA band members wore motion-capture suits as part of the development process and were filmed as they performed a 22-song set over the course of five weeks.

[15] The opening night of ABBA Voyage was attended by celebrities, including Kylie Minogue, Keira Knightley, Kate Moss, Sharleen Spiteri, and Carola Häggkvist, as well as members of the Swedish royal family including Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia.
