Benny Andersson Finally SHOCKS Fans With ABBA’s Future Plans for 2025
At 78, ABBA’s musical mastermind Benny Andersson has just stunned fans around the world by revealing the group’s bold and unexpected plans for 2025. After decades of carefully managing their legacy — and a spectacular return with 2021’s Voyage album and the groundbreaking virtual concert experience — many believed ABBA had said their final word. But according to Benny, the story is far from over.
In a recent interview in Stockholm, Benny opened up about what lies ahead, and the surprises were bigger than anyone expected. “People thought Voyage was the end — but for us, it felt like the beginning of something new,” he said. “2025 will be an important year. We’re not done yet.”
While Benny stopped short of confirming a traditional reunion tour — which the group has consistently ruled out — he hinted at an expanded future for ABBA’s digital legacy. The ABBA Voyage concert, featuring digital avatars of the group performing alongside a live band, has become one of the most talked-about and technically impressive shows in recent memory. Benny revealed that there are plans to bring Voyage to new cities around the world in 2025, potentially including New York, Tokyo, and Sydney.
But that’s not all. Benny shocked fans even more by revealing that the group is considering releasing new music to accompany the expanding Voyage shows. “We had more songs written during the Voyage sessions that we never released. They’re just sitting there — fully recorded. We’ve talked about giving them a life,” he said. For fans who waited nearly 40 years for Voyage, the idea of more unreleased ABBA material is almost too good to be true.
Additionally, Benny mentioned plans to develop an in-depth documentary exploring ABBA’s evolution, from their Eurovision breakthrough in 1974 to the highs and heartaches of their global success, as well as the creative rebirth that came decades later. “There are still stories we haven’t told — and footage no one has seen,” he added.
Despite their age, Benny emphasized that the band members — himself, Björn Ulvaeus, Agnetha Fältskog, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad — are still very much involved creatively. “We may not be jumping around on stage anymore, but mentally, we’re all still curious, still excited. ABBA was never just a band — it was always an idea.”
Fans around the globe have responded with joy, curiosity, and a sense of disbelief. After all, ABBA has built a reputation for surprise. Whether it’s with immersive technology, nostalgic melodies, or heartfelt honesty, the band continues to evolve while honoring their past.
As 2025 approaches, one thing is now clear: ABBA’s story is not over. And with Benny Andersson at the helm, the next chapter might just be the most unexpected — and unforgettable — yet.
