Abba fans – you’re in luck! The band’s sensational show Abba Voyage is reportedly set to be extended for another year, running until 2026.
The iconic Swedish four-piece launched their residency in London’s Pudding Mill Lane earlier this year, creating a hologram experience that has been widely praised by fans.
Rather than the real-life Anni-Frid, 75, Bjorn, 76. Benny, 74, and Agnetha, 71, fans can watch holograms of the singers in their hey-day.
And it seems the show has been so popular, it will run until spring 2026.
A source told The Sun: ‘Everyone knows Abba has a seriously loyal fan base but the show was always a bit of a gamble.
‘No one really knew how the Abba-tars were going to be received, as similar hologram-style concerts were a mixed bag. But for Abba the reaction was amazing. Even those most sceptical about the tech have walked away impressed.

‘The plan is to refresh the show with new songs that have already been shot by the group.’
It’s said that talks are still in place for the show to transfer to the Las Vegas strip.
Celebrating the launch together earlier this year, the band reunited in London together for the first time in 40 years and my, my, just how much we missed them!

The Swedish pop superstars were last together in the UK capital for an appearance on The Late Late Breakfast show hosted with Noel Edmonds in 1982.
Speaking on the red carpet outside a purpose-built stadium at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London, Agnetha enthused: ‘It’s amazing to see all the English fans.’
Benny admitted he expected himself to cry during the concert, saying: ‘Oh definitely, all the time.’
You and us both, Benny. You and us both.
