Tras la muerte de su pareja, Siw se muda a un apartamento más pequeño para empezar de nuevo. Al mismo tiempo, reflexiona sobre su carrera, su vida y su familia. ¿Trabajó demasiado? ¿Por qué siempre decía que sí? En medio de todo esto, encuentra documentos antiguos y ve cifras de regalías bajas, dándose cuenta de que su contrato no ha cambiado desde que empezó. Siw invita a las hijas de Lill-Bab y a Ann-Louise Hanson a compartir recuerdos de la gira y luego se prepara para aparecer en un programa de televisión en Baden-Baden con la ayuda del coreógrafo Hans Marklund. Además, Siw debe descubrir si su voz para cantar sigue siendo buena

Efter sin livspartners bortgång har Siw flyttat till en mindre lägenhet för att börja om. Samtidigt väcks tankar om karriären men också livet och familjen. Jobbade hon för mycket och varför sa hon alltid ja? Mitt i allt hittar hon gamla dokument och ser låga royaltysiffror och inser att hennes avtal aldrig ändrats sedan hon började. Siw bjuder in Lill-Babs döttrar och Ann-Louise Hanson för att dela turnéminnen och så förbereder hon sig för ett uppträdande i en tv-show i Baden-Baden med hjälp av koreografen Hans Marklund. Dessutom ska Siw ta reda på om sångrösten fortfarande håller.

The children now want the apartment to be sold. Siw doesn't really know what she wants. In the film's opening, we meet Siw as she, with the help of her children and grandchildren, sorts and packs up her belongings for the sale of the apartment. She puts pink notes on what the moving truck will take with her. She is determined to only take the things she wants around her, to her new home, the rest will be sold. Siw opens a pantry with shelves up to the ceiling. She has to stand on a ladder to reach it. On the shelves and in bags on the floor are her rolls of film. She bought her first film camera when she was 24 years old and has been filming ever since.

Världsstjärna i Hallen

SOS! Allt om allas spanare fick syn på en världskänd celebritet i anrika Östermalms saluhall. Det var virtuosen Benny Andersson i egen hög person. Det var strax efter klockan 16 mitt i veckan och gissningsvis skulle Abban handla lite gott till middag.

Estrella mundial en el Salón

¡SOS! Todos los exploradores avistaron a una celebridad mundial en el histórico mercado de Östermalm. Era el virtuoso Benny Andersson en persona. Eran poco más de las 4 pm. de un día laborable y Abba presumiblemente estaba comprando algo rico para cenar.

ABBA Voyage 3rd Anniversary / 2025

Changes

"Although at Tuesday’s preview – also attended by pop royalty, with the arrival of ABBA’s own Benny Andersson and Frida Lyngstad causing quite a stir in the arena – we were treated to Super Trouper, it’s also been revealed that once the new version of the show is up and running, this track will be rotated with Take A Chance On Me, another new addition that was not included on the original setlist.

What’s more, only one song has been axed from the set to make room for these new changes, with When All Is Said And Done being cut.

Admittedly, When All Is Said And Done did have some pretty cool staging, and its lyrics about moving on from a difficult breakup felt especially poignant given ABBA’s own back story, and the fact they were able to eventually put their past behind them to reunite for the Voyage concert experience and its accompanying studio album.

However, there’s no denying that it wasn’t exactly a fan favourite, so if something had to go to allow even more hits to make it into the setlist, we think the ABBA Voyage team made the right call".

With These New Changes To ABBA Voyage, The Show Has Somehow Improved On Perfection

To commemorate its third anniversary, the unique concert experience has added a string of new songs to its setlist – and it's even better for it.

ABBA Voyage has now been running for three yearsJOHAN PERSSON/ABBA VOYAGE

After keeping fans speculating for months – if not years! – ABBA Voyage finally unveiled new changes on Tuesday night, to commemorate its third anniversary.

The unique concert experience first opened in London’s East End in May 2022, combining the hits of ABBA with state-of-the-art digital technology that sees the iconic group performing some of their most legendary hits (as well as select deep cuts and offerings from their chart-topping Voyage album) as digital versions of themselves.

All four members of ABBA came together in the early 2020s to help create these stunning digital renderings (dubbed “ABBAtars”) using motion capture technology – and the results earned unanimous praise cuando ABBA Voyage abrió sus puertas por primera vez.

Back in March, it was revealed that, for the first time, the show was being updated to incorporate new additions to the setlist, which were finally revealed at a special concert that HuffPost UK was lucky enough to attend.

So, here’s a quick guide to the new (and, we’re relieved to say, improved) ABBA Voyage. And be warned, there are spoilers ahead…

Which songs have been added to the ABBA Voyage setlist?

Well, we’re thrilled to announce that the show now incorporates four new tracks, all of which are total bangers.

Super Trouper now has a spot early on in the setlist (a baffling omission in the first place, given what the song is about, and how much lighting plays a part in what makes ABBA Voyage so impressive), while The Name Of The Game and Money Money Money are also performed.

Although at Tuesday’s preview – also attended by pop royalty, with the arrival of ABBA’s own Benny Andersson and Frida Lyngstad causing quite a stir in the arena – we were treated to Super Trouper, it’s also been revealed that once the new version of the show is up and running, this track will be rotated with Take A Chance On Me, another new addition that was not included on the original setlist.

What’s more, only one song has been axed from the set to make room for these new changes, with When All Is Said And Done being cut.

Admittedly, When All Is Said And Done did have some pretty cool staging, and its lyrics about moving on from a difficult breakup felt especially poignant given ABBA’s own back story, and the fact they were able to eventually put their past behind them to reunite for the Voyage concert experience and its accompanying studio album.

However, there’s no denying that it wasn’t exactly a fan favourite, so if something had to go to allow even more hits to make it into the setlist, we think the ABBA Voyage team made the right call.

How do these new changes impact the ABBA Voyage show?



ABBA Voyage is both a visual spectacular as well as a musical nostalgia tripRALPH LARMANN/ABBA VOYAGE

All four of the new songs are top-tier ABBA, featured in both their legendary hits collection ABBA Gold and the jukebox musical Mamma Mia!, so their inclusion should be music to the ears of any fan.

We’re also very happy to say that they all fit into the show beautifully. Super Trouper got one of the biggest cheers of the night at Tuesday’s show, while Money Money Money introduces the show’s final act in suitably dramatic fashion.

As for The Name Of The Game, it boasts some of the show’s most impressive staging and lighting, so even if the song itself doesn’t quite “go off” like a Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! or Dancing Queen, it still makes for one of the night’s most memorable moments.

So, in short, this new version of ABBA Voyage has somehow improved on perfection. The concert – which is still selling out shows even three years after its opening – didn’t need to be changed, yet it’s all the better for it, packing in not just more ABBA hits, but also more spectacular visuals that make Voyage such an unforgettable experience.

If you’re an ABBA fan, even a casual one, you must go. If you’re a fan of live music in general, you must go. Honestly – if you just have a passing interest in technology, you must go.

ABBA Voyage is not just about the timeless music of the former Eurovision winners, nor is it just about watching their digital likenesses putting on a show. The whole thing – the music (including a house band), the stage, the “ABBAtars”, the lights, the arena itself – comes together in a completely unique way that you have to experience it for yourself to truly wrap your head around it.
