ABBA Are Everywhere Again – And Yes, You Still Need Them On Your Playlist
If you feel like ABBA are suddenly all over TikTok, playlists, and even a futuristic “live” show in London, you are not imagining it. The legendary Swedish group just turned a nostalgic comeback into a full-blown must-see live experience with their high-tech ABBA Voyage concert – and fans are losing it.
From their classic hits crashing back into the charts to arena-style shows performed by digital "ABBAtars", ABBA are having a second (or maybe third) golden era. Whether you grew up with "Dancing Queen" or only know them from TikTok edits, this is the moment to finally dive in.
On Repeat: The Latest Hits & Vibes
The old songs are bigger than ever, and the "new" era is still echoing across playlists. If you want to catch the current ABBA wave, start here:
- "Dancing Queen" – Still the ultimate feel-good anthem. Piano-driven, pure euphoria, and basically mandatory at every wedding, party, and TikTok glow-up edit. Streams for this track keep spiking whenever the algorithm rediscovers it.
- "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" – Darker, disco, and insanely catchy. This one refuses to die on social media thanks to remixes, samples, and transition edits. It hits that late-night, neon, club energy even if you are just scrolling in bed.
- "Don’t Shut Me Down" – A standout from their 2021 comeback album "Voyage", this track turned into a modern ABBA classic almost instantly. It’s emotional, polished, and shows how the band can make a 2020s ballad that still feels like it came straight from their 70s prime.
The vibe right now? A mix of nostalgia and fresh hype. Old-school fans are emotional about the "Voyage" era, while a whole Gen Z crowd is discovering ABBA through samples, viral edits, and POV videos. It’s retro, but it does not feel old.
Social Media Pulse: ABBA on TikTok
ABBA’s songs are having a second life on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. It is not just parents and boomers either – there are transitions, character POVs, and Aesthetic-core edits all built on ABBA tracks.
On TikTok, you will find:
- Outfit transformation videos soundtracked by "Dancing Queen"
- Retro film edits using "The Winner Takes It All" for maximum drama
- Memes and mashups built around the hook from "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!"
Reddit threads and fan forums are full of people saying they were "raised on ABBA by their parents" and now finally get why they were obsessed. Others discovered them through memes and ended up deep-diving into full albums.

The overall vibe online: massive nostalgia, zero cringe. ABBA’s storytelling and melodies are timeless enough that even the most irony-poisoned feeds are taking them seriously.
Catch ABBA Live: Tour & Tickets
Here is the catch: ABBA are not touring as a traditional live band right now. There are currently no known standard tour dates where all four members are physically on stage together.
Instead, the big live story is ABBA Voyage in London – an insanely ambitious show where digital versions of the band perform with a live band in a custom-built arena. The group spent years creating motion capture performances so the ABBAtars can recreate their 70s-era energy with 2020s-level tech.
So while you cannot follow ABBA on a worldwide arena tour at the moment, you can still experience something that many fans describe as the closest thing to seeing the band at their peak.
To stay updated on the latest announcements, official news, and links to the ABBA Voyage experience, head straight to the group’s site:
If or when any new tour dates or special one-off performances are announced, they will appear there first. For now, if you want the full-scale ABBA show, London is the place to be.
How it Started: The Story Behind the Success
Before holograms, TikTok, and cinematic music videos, ABBA were just four Swedish musicians: Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid (Frida) Lyngstad. They first came together in the early 1970s, and by 1974, they had already changed pop history.
The turning point? The Eurovision Song Contest. ABBA won the competition for Sweden with their glittery, instantly iconic performance of "Waterloo". That victory catapulted them from Scandinavian act to global phenomenon.
From there, the milestones came fast:
- "Waterloo" and "Mamma Mia" turned them into worldwide hitmakers.
- "Fernando", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", and "Take a Chance on Me" flooded radio in the late 70s.
- "Dancing Queen" became one of the most recognisable pop songs ever recorded and has gone multi?platinum in several countries.
- The compilation "ABBA Gold" became one of the best-selling albums of all time, with massive global sales and ongoing chart longevity.
- The "Mamma Mia!" stage musical and its movie adaptations introduced their catalog to a whole new generation and reignited streaming for their hits.
Over the decades, ABBA have racked up multi?platinum records, chart-topping singles across Europe, North America, and beyond, plus a dedicated fan culture that never really went away. Their songwriting – catchy on the surface but full of emotional detail – helped them survive trends that buried so many other 70s acts.
After stepping away from the spotlight as a group in the early 80s, they shocked the world with a full comeback in 2021. The album "Voyage" delivered new music that actually felt worthy of their legacy, and the associated virtual concert project became one of the most ambitious live productions in pop.
The Verdict: Is it Worth the Hype?
If you are wondering whether ABBA in 2020s is just your parents’ nostalgia trip, the answer from most fans and critics is a clear no. The hype is real – and surprisingly easy to understand once you actually listen.
Here is what makes ABBA still hit in 2026 and beyond:
- The songs work on every level – Fun enough for party playlists, emotional enough for breakup nights, and melodically strong enough that they stick in your head for days.
- The live experience is genuinely unique – ABBA Voyage is not just another tribute show; it is a cutting-edge production that even non-fans call a must-see if you are into music, tech, or pop culture.
- The catalog is built for the internet – Big choruses, emotional lyrics, and dramatic storytelling make their tracks perfect for edits, trends, and viral moments.
If you are a longtime fan, this is the era to lean in: stream the "Voyage" album, plan that ABBA Voyage trip, and flex your knowledge while everyone else finally catches up. If you are new, start with "ABBA Gold", dig into "Voyage", and then fall down the YouTube rabbit hole of live performances and classic TV appearances.
ABBA might have started in the 70s, but right now they are once again one of the most talked-about names in pop. And if your For You Page has anything to say about it, they are not going anywhere.
