Fans are abuzz with excitement, envisioning a dream scenario where ABBA takes the stage again.

Since May 2022, ABBA has captivated audiences with their unique residency in London, featuring holograms of the band members performing their greatest hits alongside a live band. This innovative show format, known as “ABBAtars,” might also be part of the Eurovision experience, given recent comments by Björn Ulvaeus downplaying the possibility of a live reunion.

The BBC is also celebrating ABBA’s Eurovision anniversary with a series of specials titled “More ABBA at the BBC,” featuring rare archival footage. As fans eagerly await the Eurovision finale, the prospect of an ABBA appearance adds a thrilling dimension to the event.

ABBA’s hint at a potential Eurovision comeback has electrified their global fan base, blending nostalgia with the promise of something new.
