Do the real ABBA appear at the end of ABBA's voyage? ›

After the 90-minute avatar performance, the four members of ABBA appeared on stage and gave a curtain call.

The name ABBA comes from the first initials of the four members – Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. They were not always a household name, however. When they first formed, they were named “Festfolk”, which is Swedish for “party people”.

Do ABBA still talk to each other? ›

"Frida and I are still friends and I'm still a member of ABBA. We are still good friends, but we are not married anymore." Their divorce reportedly came quickly, after Benny told Frida that he had met someone else. That person was TV producer Mona Norklit, whom he married later in 1981.

Agnetha Fältskog was married to Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson to Anni-Frid Lyngstad. At the height of Abba's fame both couples divorced, one in 1980 and the other a year later.

While the setlist for ABBA Voyage has remained the same since it first opened, Ulvaeus revealed to NME that they did work on more songs that could work their way into future iterations of the show. “We did motion capture more songs that we have in this concert,” he said.
