Stockholm, Sweden — Half a century after redefining the sound of pop music, the four members of ABBA are reuniting for a final bow. At 79 and 78, Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad — the voices and souls behind some of the most beloved songs in modern history — have officially announced their 2026 “One Last Ride” World Tour, a luminous farewell that promises to be both a celebration and a benediction.
The announcement came in the most fitting of places — beneath the soft amber lights of ABBA The Museum in Stockholm, where the story first began. Standing before walls of memories and melodies, Benny Andersson spoke first, his tone steady, reverent, and full of quiet gratitude:
“This isn’t the end of ABBA — it’s just our way of saying thank you. One last ride, together.”
The tour will journey across more than 20 countries, tracing ABBA’s remarkable path from the cafés of Sweden to the glittering stages of the world. Each concert will be a tapestry of sight and sound — live performances woven with immersive visuals, orchestral arrangements, and heartfelt storytelling. Fans will hear the songs that shaped generations — “Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “Fernando,” and so many others — alongside newly reimagined acoustic versions and moments that reflect the band’s enduring friendship and faith in music’s timeless magic.
With a tender smile and tears in her eyes, Agnetha Fältskog added,
“These songs built our lives — and the lives of millions. It feels right to bring them home one more time.”
For audiences around the world, this won’t be merely a farewell — it will be a pilgrimage of gratitude, a return to the melodies that became the soundtrack to first loves, broken hearts, and endless summers. From London’s O2 Arena to Sydney’s Opera House, and finally back to Stockholm, the “One Last Ride” Tour will close the circle of a story that began five decades ago — when four voices found each other, and in doing so, found eternity.
And in a moment that brought the room to silence, Frida Lyngstad said softly,
“The music has carried us — and it will keep carrying all of us long after the final curtain.”
No spectacle could capture what this truly means. This isn’t just a farewell — it’s the golden encore of a lifetime,
a love letter from ABBA to the world that never stopped singing along.
