Benny Andersson Finally Shocks Fans With ABBA’s Future Plans in 2025
For decades, the question has lingered in the minds of fans around the world: what does the future hold for ABBA? After their dazzling comeback with Voyage in 2021 and the continued success of their virtual concert experience in London, speculation has only grown stronger. In 2025, Benny Andersson, the group’s musical architect and quiet visionary, has finally broken the silence—leaving fans both stunned and thrilled by his unexpected revelations.
Looking Back Before Moving Forward
Benny began by reflecting on the extraordinary legacy of ABBA. From Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia to the intimate ballads like The Winner Takes It All, ABBA’s catalog has remained timeless, bridging generations. “We never thought people would still be singing these songs fifty years later,” Andersson admitted. “That kind of love is something you don’t plan—it just happens.”
He also acknowledged the doubts they faced when announcing Voyage. Many wondered if the magic could truly be recaptured. Yet the success of the album and the groundbreaking “ABBAtar” concerts proved not only that the music still resonates, but that technology could keep it alive in new, imaginative ways.
The Big Revelation
Then came the part that made headlines worldwide. Benny revealed that ABBA is considering one final studio project. “We are talking—not promising, but seriously talking—about creating something completely new,” he said. While careful not to overcommit, Andersson suggested that fans could expect at least a small collection of original songs, crafted in the same spirit that first brought the four Swedes together in the 1970s.
Even more surprising, he hinted that the band is exploring the possibility of taking the virtual concert format beyond London. Cities like New York, Tokyo, and Sydney are reportedly under discussion. “If it can work in one place, why not bring it to others? The music belongs to everyone,” Andersson stated.
Balancing Nostalgia and Innovation
The announcement reflects ABBA’s unique position in music history. While many heritage acts are content to simply tour their classics, ABBA continues to experiment with fresh approaches. Andersson emphasized that their decisions are not about chasing trends but about embracing creativity. “We’ve always been curious. If we weren’t, we would have stopped long ago,” he said.
Still, Benny was candid about the realities of age. With all four members in their seventies, large-scale touring is off the table. That’s why the technological innovations behind the “ABBAtar” shows are so important. “This way, the music can live on without us having to stand under the stage lights night after night,” he explained.
A Legacy Reinforced
For fans, Andersson’s words bring both excitement and reassurance. Whether ABBA delivers an entirely new album, a handful of tracks, or simply expands the virtual concert experience, the message is clear: the story is not over yet.
“ABBA is not just about nostalgia,” Benny concluded. “It’s about connection. If people still find joy in these songs, then our job is to keep that joy alive.”
With those words, the world waits—once again—on ABBA. And in 2025, it seems the magic is far from finished.
