ABBA reunion 2018: Truth behind TOUR rumours revealed - after new music announcement
ABBA have responded to rumours that they will tour and headline Glastonbury after confirming new music is on the way.
Subsequent speculation arose that they would play concerts together again, after they had previously plotted a string of “digital gigs” featuring computer-generated reincarnations of themselves.
However their spokesperson and manager has confirmed that there are absolutely no plans to headline Glastonbury or play their own new live shows.
“No, definitely not,” they told the paper.
It’s still not known when the new tracks will see the light of day, but at least one will performed by their digital reincarnations on a TV special in December.
They revealed on Instagram: “The decision to go ahead with the exciting ABBA avatar tour project had an unexpected consequence.
“We all four felt that, after some 35 years, it could be fun to join forces again and go into the recording studio. So we did."
“We may have come of age, but the song is new. And it feels good.”
