According to the results of this year’s music competition EurovisionSweden is the country that will organize the 68th edition next year.

2024 also marks the 50th anniversary of the Swedish band Abba winning the contest with the song Waterloo. And while Eurofans wait for the members to reunite on stage, Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Anieta Felzkog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad have announced that they will not be attending this great musical celebration.

Over the past year, Abba have been playing shows in London in front of millions of people from the comfort of their homes. Instead, their holograms appear on the stage.

As far as Eurovision is concerned, many believed that the group would compete next year as the representative of Sweden, despite the fact that they had never performed together since appearing as guests on Noel Edmonds’ show “The Late Late” in 1992. Breakfast Show” on the BBC.

In an interview with BBC Newsnight on Thursday night, Anderson said there was “no way” the band would reunite and take the Eurovision stage together. “I don’t want it. And if I want it, the others won’t either. Same for all four.”

Ulvaeus added that “we can celebrate Abba’s 50th anniversary without going on stage.”

Their comments, however, hint that we could see Abbatars in their place – the online versions of Abba currently playing every night in London to sold-out venues.

More than a million people have watched this multimedia extravaganza since it “opened” last June at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park arena.

With over 400 million albums and singles sold, Abba became the first Swede to win first place in Eurovision.

This year, Lauryn came out on top with “Tattoo”. This is the second time she has won the competition, after 2012 and Euphoria.
