If you haven\u2019t been to see Abba Voyage yet, then where have you been???

But how do you put on a live concert for a band that split up over 40 years ago?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voyage is a masterful celebration of reality and AI that will redefine the future of \u2018live\u2019 music enabling audiences to enjoy re-imagined concerts by the likes of some of our late and great musical icons \u2013 think Elvis, Wham! and, perhaps, even Shawaddaywaddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
