ABBA celebrate 40-year return with TikTok debut, live digital concert, and new album 'Voyage'

ABBA are back! 

Considerably one of the greatest acts of all time, the four-piece pop group are making their grand return after 40 years. Set to be an extraordinary comeback, ABBA will be dropping a new studio album this November, titled Voyage followed by a "revolutionary new" online concert in 2022. 

Kicking off their 40-year comeback, ABBA made their way to TikTok playing a piano rendition of their 1976 hit, 'Chiquitita' which has been trending on the app over the past couple of months, spawning the viral 'Chiquitita Challenge'.
