Introduction
The YouTube video “Benny Andersson’s Son Reveals Secrets Of New ABBA Voyage Show | This Morning” discusses the highly anticipated return of ABBA with new music and a revolutionary concert called “ABBA Voyage.”
Ludwig Andersson, Benny Andersson’s son and one of the show’s producers, reveals details about the concert. They have built a purpose-built arena in the Olympic Park in East London, designed to enhance the communal concert experience and create a “magical ABBA space church.” The project has been in the works for nearly five years. The “ABBAtars” (digital versions of the band) were created by capturing the real ABBA members performing for five weeks in Stockholm, eight hours a day, using 160 cameras and almost as many people to collect the data. The overwhelming positive reaction to the announcement has thrilled the team.
ABBA superfan Andrew Broadman expresses his immense excitement, describing a “tingle down his back” and eyes welling up when he heard the new songs, feeling transported back to the 70s. He recounts becoming a fan in 1975 after hearing “I Do, I Do, I Do” and his extensive collection, which he’s spent around £50,000 on over 40 years. He also shares a personal anecdote about getting a signed photo from Frida Lyngstad. Both Ludwig and Andrew anticipate the opening night in May next year.
