Introduction
On May 27, 2025, ABBA’s groundbreaking digital concert “ABBA Voyage” in London celebrated its third anniversary with a special event that became an emotional highlight for fans. The evening featured a major upgrade to the show, including three new songs, and most notably, the surprise appearance of Frida Lyngstad and Benny Andersson together at the ABBA Arena.
Fans were thrilled to see the two reunited, taking photos together and greeting the audience. During the concert, Frida and Benny sat side by side, enjoying the updated version of ABBA Voyage. After the show, they addressed the crowd, with Frida warmly telling fans, “The only thing I can say is that I love you very much, thank you. You know it’s hard to imagine it’s 50 years ago. I’m turning 80 this year!” Benny followed with his characteristic humor, showing their enduring bond.
The night’s most historic moment came at the aftershow party, when Benny sat at the piano and, joined by guests including Elvis Costello and Guy Garvey, began to play ABBA’s haunting ballad “Like An Angel Passing Through My Room.” To everyone’s amazement, Frida spontaneously sang the closing line. This marked the first time since 1982 that a male and female member of ABBA had performed one of their songs live together in public. Though brief and unplanned, the performance carried enormous emotional weight, stirring memories of ABBA’s golden years.
The video reflects on the significance of this reunion, recalling earlier collaborations between Benny and Frida, such as her solo albums in the 1970s and their rare duet on Swedish radio in 1979. The last time they appeared publicly as a duo was in 2010 at ABBA’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.
For fans, this anniversary offered not just nostalgia but also a glimpse of what could still be possible — whether more casual performances between the members or even potential new projects. Above all, it highlighted the deep affection and lasting musical connection that continues to tie ABBA together, even after more than five decades.
✨ In short: The 3rd anniversary of ABBA Voyage gave the world a precious gift — Frida and Benny reunited in music, reminding fans of the timeless magic of ABBA.
