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. If Agnetha didn’t want to fly but really wanted to attend, there are other options like trains and ferries, although it would take a few days of travelling, which might be too arduous for her. |

It would be hugely disappointing if Agnetha skipped the premiere but it could simply be that she sensibly decided to skip a week of being sucked into (possibly boring) stuff, and told the others she'd arrive on the morning of the 27th? Benny and Bjorn could well be there for technical stuff. Frida could be there with Henry to visit friends and family. My cynical sister laughed when I mentioned it. She says Agnetha is a PR genius, pulling focus without lifting a finger, getting people speculating about her presence already and that she'll probably earn herself a sidebar or two whether she's there or not.
But all fun bitchcraft aside, I hope all four will turn up as an elegantly glamorous group on opening night.

Will be a shame if she does not attnend, but its not the end of the world I guess. I guess she should be in London by now if she plans to attend?

Oh well, it was nice to imagine them all together one last time.
Looks like this would have been the most likley occation for it to hapopen but if voyage is not a big enough reason for Agnetha then I guess nothing is.
Its unlikley the 4 of them will ever be on stage together again and we may have already seen the last time back in 2016.

Where are the reports of Frida attending? A friend who lives not too far from the venue told me. I didn’t ask the source but possibly a well-known ABBA social media group I’m not in. |

Anyone else heard the rumour that Agnetha is currently en-route, aiming to be the first woman ever to cross the North Sea solo on a stand-up paddleboard?

Relax people. Sweden to London is a 2 hour plane ride. She said she would be there, and she will be.

It would be great if Agnetha did attend the premiere of the " Voyage " concert. Unfortunately, if she doesn't wish to we can't force her to come. As Alib pointed out she suffers from anxiety and I read that she has sort of overcome her fear of flying by receiving therapy. I can understand her dislike of press interviews. From watching the documentary on Channel 5 last Saturday " ABBA - The Missing 40 Years ", the newspapers were vile. Fabricating wildly exaggerated and cruel stories about her. No wonder she abhors intrusions of privacy as the press have left her scarred. I don't blame her. The press have always painted her " as the black sheep " of the group. The media are absolutely horrid. As I have already mentioned it would be wonderful to see all four of them re-united at the opening night for the very last time.

Her Poor dogs lol I am more worried about her Abbatar NOT turning up! I heard She threatened to walk out, during Dress Rehearsals, because she said those sweaty obsessed fans were making her circuits tremble |

It’s no odds to me if she is or not to be honest, but if she merely comes over for that and goes again, there’s a sense that she’s doing it out of duty and not getting anything else from it. Plus Frida already being there just enhances that. Why not make a holiday out of it and spend some time in London? It just feels that all the advances she made in 2013 have been lost. It’s Agnetha I’m concerned for, not the fans or anyone else. |

If Agnetha goes - great, but if not, then that's what she is comfortable doing. Plus, she may not be feeling well, who knows? Luckily for us, she did the album, that's what's important to me. I hate travelling, so maybe I understand more.

It’s Agnetha I’m concerned for, not the fans or anyone else. She's fine. She gave us the glorious Don't Shut Me Down and other gems on the record. She participated in the Voyage project including the creation of the Abbatars. I'm sure she will attend the premiere and enjoy it and go back to her life in Sweden. It's 100% wonderful and healthy that she doesn't feel the need for the publics adoration and attention. She has had it most of her life, and she has moved on. I admire her approach. I think they are all doing it "their way" and that is fine with me. |

I think we are all on the same line, wanting the best for Agnetha, She has Surprised us in the Past, and the last time l think we saw her was that clip in the snow where she said Baba, she looked very relaxed, and charasmatic has always.After all the effort she and BBA have put into The Voyage Project, l bet she can't wait to experience the end result, and see her friends, there will be a lot of love In the room for her. |

Might have been wishful thinking on my part! After re-listening the radio interview she doesn't actually say it. It might have been Frida somewhere along the way. |

[Deleted video - link removed as now dead] This video was shared to ABBA Voyage's instagram/facebook pages. Based on the setlist that had been shared earlier in this thread, everything seems to match up except for two tracks missing from The Album. My guess would be Eagle and Take A Chance On Me perhaps...? [/div]
Here's the numbers enumerated in text format in case anyone else finds the images fly by too quickly in the video: 1- Waterloo 2- ABBA 3 - Arrival (deluxe) 3- The Album 5- Voulez Vous (deluxe) 2 - Super Trouper 2 - The visitors 2 - Voyage |

So this confirms that there will be no Money Money Money, Super Trouper and King Has Lost His Crown (as the 5 from VV are surely VV, Chiquitita, SNC, Gimme and Does Your Mother Know |

WARNING! SPOILERS BELOW -- SIMPLY DON'T READ, IF YOU'D RATHER NOT KNOW!
3 of their 9 UK No.1's are not included. 'TNOTG', 'TACOM', and 'ST'. 'WAISAD' has its 'missing' Verse included.
But 'LAYLOM' has a Verse removed. 2 of the UK, European - and USA - Singles from 'The Visitors' are included
- but not the 2 that you would expect. 'TWTIA' has a Choir at the end - which I'm told is 'Sublime'. The Band
is 'Rockier' than on ABBA's original Tracks. Louder etc.
As the 'Backing Band' is 'Rockier', than on the ABBA originals - louder - if we, (eventually), get a Soundtrack
Album, it will not just be a 'Same Old, Same Old' Collection of ABBA Tracks. They will not sound exactly as
they did on Record...

Benny reiterates no more ABBA but Bjorn says there may be more from the Abbatars..
Take from that what you will... but the show is looking very promising...

My guess would be Eagle and Take A Chance On Me perhaps...? Yes, I’d agree there. However, that still only takes it to 20 tracks. If they did 22, there are still two more. I wonder what they are? |

Anything else will be classed as jams/interludes I guess. Or to put it another way, 14 from Gold, 4 from More Gold and 2 from Voyage. Not as heavily Gold-weighted as it could have been, but still fairly safe if you include More Gold. Even without its two satellite singles, Voulez-Vous is still better represented than all albums apart from The Album. Arrival matches them both, but only because of the inclusion of its own satellite single. |
