Yes, I noticed the imbalance of Agnetha/Frida lead vocals too. If I were Frida, I would be a bit miffed. But it might all change when we see the full set list. And the imbalance could be easily solved by dropping TYFTM and adding ST or MMM!

I suggest reporting them to abba and twitter to prevent the spread. These selfish idiots think the rules dont apply to them. Idiotic possers.

I’m not going to read this when it’s published but this sounds interesting: You can get two tickets for £164 for the autumn shows, and the venue is 6.4 miles from Covent Garden. |

Lives too short to cause a fuss over something so Trivial, It's unrealistic to think there would be no leaks onto Social Media, it's all good publicity anyhow! There are many People who won't be able to afford to see the Show, and in a few days the Press with be let loose, so try stopping them |

It just stinks of a desperation to be cool and “look at me” at the expense of the work put into a 5 year show by selfish people who can’t possibly wait 3 days. Big egos. Also, I’m pretty sure breaking an NDA might have consequences. But I think we are going to have to agree to disagree. All the best. |

I think we are being a little too pernickety concerning the " Voyage " concert set song list. ABBA have painstakingly gone to the trouble of recording a new album and staging an absolute show like no other on earth. We should be grateful never mind whether there is an unequal distribution of songs. It is down to the popularity of the songs and I personally think the setlist is very good. Please give ABBA a break as I have heard they personally chose the songs for the concert for us to hear and I welcome all the songs that have never been performed live before.
Also, I take exception to JJ's harsh remarks regarding the setlist being altered from time to time. He doesn't understand the words diplomacy of politeness. All of you who are going should consider yourselves very fortunate that you will be experiencing something special and leave those in peace who unfortunately won't be there. Honestly it is like " kicking a poor man down on his luck " on this forum just lately. Stop moaning and enjoy the show.

It’s all about freedom of speech and thought and luckily for us in this country we have that choice, well ! lol , so personally for those that don’t like what’s happening on this thread, please read the title ...
I’m one of those people who really don’t mind what’s going to happen, the same with books TV etc, perhaps I need therapy..lol.. but it doesn’t spoil anything for me.. I like the story. However totally understand those that don’t, so don’t click on the thread....it’s thankfully all about personal choice....
Can’t wait to hear reviews, and I’m going next Monday.......

I can kinda understand the anger at the appearance of spoilers ahead of the opening night, but once any member of the public has seen even part of the show, keeping a lid on things is going to be next to impossible. I'm sure that ABBA/the Voyage team are well aware of this and are probably heaving sighs of relief that the reports are overwhelmingly positive and - all things considered - very little has been leaked. I suspect, too, that a couple of big-impact numbers have been held back for the opening night. The 18-song setlist at the previews and absence of Take A Chance On Me and Super Trouper (among others) suggest that there's more to come.
If ABBA were to take action against the leaker, I think ABBA would come off very badly: the headlines would (rightly) make it look like a mega-wealthy entity bullying The Little Guy. Better to hope the video doesn't gain traction (which it would by drawing attention to it) and wait for the big reveal in a few days. The presence of ABBA - especially Frida and Agnetha - will be the main focus of opening night anyway.

Are the Abbatars projected onto the stage or on a big screen above the stage? |

My guess is they will probably run through the finalised setlist, whatever it is.

Given that earlier reports indicated 22 songs were motion captured/recorded, it's possible that a couple of Frida leads (e.g. "Money, Money, Money" and "Super Trouper") may well be included once the official performances kick off later this week. I've read conflicting reports about whether the actual show will consist of 20 or 22 tracks but likely other contenders (as mentioned by others) would be "Take A Chance On Me" and "Eagle".
From what I've read, the inclusion of a couple more obscure Frida leads is quite a thrill.

There is something slightly amusing about this if you don’t mind me saying so! You started a Spoilers thread and posted quite a bit in it, then told some of us off for not covering up spoilers, and are now berating those doing not dissimilar to you in other media! Filmed themselves dancing? So not the show itself? Does that class as a spoiler? |

I have read from 3 independent sources that all 4 members were there on Friday and very briefly waved at the end of the show. Not quite true I’m afraid… Apparently, one of the ‘surprises’ is that the 4 of them come on stage and wave to the audience at the end of the concert but they are abbatars, not the real thing, only they look as they do now rather than the c1977 versions. Apparently. |

Their official socials said 20 songs on the setlist, so perhaps the other 2-5 performances will be seen in a setlist shuffle from time to time?

Apparently Frida was at the final dress rehearsal last night with Benny and Björn, but no Agnetha. Not looking good is it? Was 2013 a dream? An appearance at G-A-Y, a live performance with Gary Barlow, all those interviews. Did she have her own real-life avatar to do all that for her? Very disappointing.
She could still fly in for Thursday and then go again but if she’s psyched herself up for the flights, she’s hardly going to be able to relax and enjoy it.
