Little Boots reveals role in ABBA ‘Voyage’ shows

SWEDISH pop icons Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad are performing digitally with a live 10-piece band next year, and English singer-songwriter Little Boots, 37, has announced she will be singing backing vocals, as well as playing live keyboards and synthesiser at the shows, which is a dream come true for the “life-long ABBA fan”.

Sharing some behind-the-scenes snaps in the recording studio with Benny, she wrote on Instagram: “As a life long @abba fan It is an absolute honour to ... be joining @abbavoyage live on stage on keyboards/ synthesisers and backing vocals.

“My love for the songs of Abba runs hard and deep. There is no other songwriting I have been more inspired by throughout my career, in my opinion it is the most lifeaffirming, heart wrenching, joyful, liberating, powerful pop music on the planet.”

The Voyage concert experience will open on May 27, 2022 at the ABBA Arena, which is a state-of-theart, 3000 capacity arena located at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

The concert will feature ABBA’s two new tracks, I Still Have Faith In You and Don't Shut Me Down, as well as songs from their upcoming album. |
