Could Abba be about to reform?

Singer Agnetha drops hint band may perform concert next year to celebrate 40th anniversary of first hit Waterloo.

Agnetha Faltskog, 63, spoke about a reunion in a recent interview She said a concert to mark anniversary of Eurovision triumph was 'something we're thinking about' Ms Faltskog had been seen as the main barrier to reunion - but other band members have also been sceptical in the past Abba racked up string of hits and sold more than 380million records.

Personally I think they should leave well enough alone, and leave the memories intact. What do you think?

I fcuking hate Abba.......I'd rather see Fritzel and his daughter reform.

It's all about Money Money Money!

Great within their time, but the songs are done to the death at wedding receptions and functions and everything else between.

Honestly don't like their music as a result anymore.

Fox_In_Socks · 13-11-2013 12:16AM

Agnatha was a fine looking women back before I was born. Rawr!

hansfrei · 13-11-2013 12:19AM

They should do a tour with AHA, AYA & EVE. Maybe have RACECAR & TNT do support.

Palindrome world tour.

Someone asked me if I fancied Agatha.

I said I do, I do, I do, I do.

PizzamanIRL · 13-11-2013 12:26AM

Don't care. It's what all the bands are doing now when they split up and realise they have no other way of making money.

Wattle · 13-11-2013 12:28AM

It's strange that it's coming from Agnetha. She's the one who had the hardest time living with the fame and became a recluse. As a one-off event maybe it could happen. Can't see them going on a tour or anything.

13-11-2013 12:36AM

If you spell ABBA backwards you get ABBA

Coincidence, i think not !

13-11-2013 12:39AM

It would be kind of funny, if they did regroup and no one bought tickets to see them. I think they should have done it years ago.

As long as I don't have to listen to it, I'm easy.

13-11-2013 12:58AM

if they do regroup, I wonder will my ABBA vinyl lp's increase in value...:)

wp_rathead · 13-11-2013 01:02AM

I focking love ABBA

lertsnim · 13-11-2013 01:19AM

Ching Ching and whatever they do will be an instant sell out. Best of luck to them.

Richard Hillman · 13-11-2013 01:24AM

It would be awesome but It will not happen, no matter how much money is thrown at them. I kind of respect them for it but would love to see them perform at least one song together.

I'd rather Guns n Roses got back together though. And I'm not just saying that to try and regain my manliness

Malcolm in the middle started my love affair with ABBA, especially this

I doubt they need the money.

Waterloo was some tune in fairness. A reunion would be entertaining to see!

I doubt that any of ABBA care very much about money. They're probably still making millions from royalties alone every year. If they do reform I'd say it would be because they genuinely want to perform together again. They have a large generation of younger fans now who'd love to see them live.

Wouldn't go see them myself (unless I got a free ticket) but imagine how much tickets would sell for if touts got a hold on them!

Thinly veiled overheard conversation in The George thread :P

MadsL · 13-11-2013 03:31AM

Agree with it?

Are they holding an EU referendum?

They can do what they fecking well please.

LordSutch · 14-11-2013 11:41AM

As long as the fans don't expect the same sound to come from Agnetha & Frida as they created & hamonised 30+ years ago!

ABBA puns :rolleyes:

Tis all the rage now, 70's and 80's groups reforming and going on tour. Could be good and certainly they should Take A Chance, Take A Chance, Take A Chackachanchance.........

(Damn you Backwards Man for making me do that....plus I'll be humming these songs all day now, grrrr)

She was awarded "Rear of the Year" in the seventies

I only care about a song is good or not. Don't care about the rest.
Their songs are brilliant and well-written froma musical point of view.

I don't mind them reforming as long as they bring something to the table. If it's just a rehash, no point.

They will have to use Auto Tune,the use of is more wide spread among older preformers then one would think.

Well Agnetha's voice on her most recent album 'A' sounds pretty good to me. A little more mellow perhaps, but instantly recognisable as her. Now whether any artificial aids were used in the production of the album I don't know.

What do you make of the rumoured 2014 ABBA reunion, and do you agree with it?

Would you like to see ABBA reform, or should they leave their legacy alone? 36 votes
