ABBA Reunion (Sort Of)

It finally happened! After more than 30 years, the members of ABBA staged an impromptu reunion on stage in Stockholm.

The occasion was a private celebration to honor ABBA’s songwriting duo, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, held tin 2016 at Berns Salonger to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their first meeting.

In attendance were their former spouses, the female side of ABBA, Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstadon, Before anyone knew what was happening the quartet were on stage singing “Me and I.” The effort marked their first public performance as a quartet since January of 1986.

The band has promised a tour with holograms in the next year or so and yes, it will feature a few new songs as well as the ABBA classics.
