According to the Sun. When asked about more songs he said ‘Who knows’?’ and added they never said they would not reunite in the studio just on tour. Well......

I also thought this was a very positive reaction by B&B when asked about the possibility of more songs:

A lot may depend on whether the Hologram Tour is a success or not.
Reading ABBA Fan comments, from around The Internet, I'd say that at least 50% of their Fans 100% hate the Hologram idea & have Zero plans to buy any Tickets for the Shows. Those Fans see it all as a terrible idea and they will ignore the ABBATar Shows.
If it all flops, then ABBA will be very embarrassed and they will lose a great deal of money.
This would either make them walk away from being ABBA again, or they could decide to get their cash back, by recording a final Album.
A lot of ABBA Fans see the Hologram Tour as an 'insult' and they feel that ABBA are not respecting our Years of loyalty.
So, it is all turning into a very 'controversial' time for ABBA...

To be honest, I would be very surprised if ABBA has invested much into this scheme. If it's like any other live touring act, they probably have major promoters lined up in each market who have probably offered them some upfront money as well as a nightly guarantee and/or a percentage of the gross. And since this will be playing on six continents simultaneously, they probably have plenty of funding for this scheme. We already know they are doing this with a live band, which seems kind of pointless to me. But I could also see it becoming something like a variety show with dancers, aerialists, actors, etc. For example, they could recreate the "Super Trouper" album cover onstage with actual performers surrounding the holograms. I can't imagine that they could sustain the attention of even the most ardent ABBA fan for 90 minutes with just a hologram.
And, by the way, that hologram performance by Michael Jackson is creepy af.

I can see it being a hit .A bit cultish . I can watch Abba videos over and over again and never tire especially with a bottle of wine. This would be a whole new experience to enjoy. They have to get the price of the ticket right. Cost may deter if too expensive. Years down the line it might be possible to have holograms appear in our own homes. Who knows.....look how far mobile phones have come and driverless cars. In the words of Abba ....’What about Livingstone?’

Maybe people who didn't get to see ABBA in person will buy tickets for these shows. I would consider it. I'm sure I would enjoy the show, albeit not as much as if I had seen ABBA in person when they were here in 1979.

I can imagine I would enjoy it, as I was never able to see ABBA live for real. Especially if they recreate their original world tours, it could be interesting. However I don't see how they mean to sustain the interest if the shows are the same all the time. I mean - I would go to see it once, maybe twice and what next?
