Swedish pop group ABBA is releasing its first new music in 40 years, along with a live show that will see the band performing in a whole new way: virtually. The album, Voyage, will be released on November 5. Instead of performing the new album themselves, virtual versions of the band members have been created who will begin playing shows in London on May 27, 2022. "We took a break in the spring of 1982 and now we've decided it's time to end it," ABBA said in a statement. The group has been creating the show with director George Lucas' special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic. The band members played together for hours every day for weeks, using motion capture and other techniques to create virtual versions of their younger selves. The show will include 22 songs and will last for about 90 minutes. The show will come 50 years after the group was started. They say making it was hard work, but they enjoyed it. "It was so joyful to be together in the studio again, the four of us," said Benny Andersson, one of the band members.
