ABBA Voyage will appear during the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
A clip from ABBA Voyage, a virtual concert residency by ABBA in London, will be shown during the Grand Final. This will be combined with archive footage of ABBA’s performance of “Waterloo” at the Eurovision Song Contest 1974. After this footage, Charlotte Perelli, Carola and Conchita Wurst will lead a performance of “Waterloo” on the Eurovision stage as part of the interval.
There has been intense speculation about ABBA making an appearance at Eurovision 2024 since last year’s contest ended. With Eurovision being hosted in Sweden, and the 50th anniversary of ABBA’s win, many believed that it could potentially be an opportunity for ABBA to reunite on stage.
However, while they don’t seem to be appearing at Eurovision in person, the group are at least a part of this year’s final to celebrate the anniversary of their victory.
