In a first after four decades, ABBA is releasing its new music along with a concert performance that will see the “Dancing Queen” quartet going entirely digital.

The upcoming album “Voyage,” to be released on November 5, is a follow-up to 1981’s “The Visitors,” which until now had been the swan song of the Swedish supergroup. A virtual version of the band will begin a series of concerts in London.

“We took a break in the spring of 1982 and now we’ve decided it’s time to end it,” The Associated Press reported ABBA’s statement as saying. “They say it’s foolhardy to wait more than 40 years between albums, so we’ve recorded a follow-up to ‘The Visitors,'” it added.

It is reportedly said that the group will be creating the live show with George Lucas’ special-effects company, Industrial Light & Magic. They say the virtual versions of themselves are “weird and wonderful,” and go beyond holograms.

“It was suggested to us that we could go on tour as a hologram. And this is now four, five years ago,” Björn Ulvaeus, ABBA’s 76-year-old guitarist, backup singer and co-songwriter said at a news conference Thursday.

“And we found out very soon that that wasn’t even possible because holograms is an old technology, but I mean, the vision was there of having our digital selves, that even was a possibility,” he added.

It can be seen that the show has come 50 years after the founding of the group that consisted of two married couples for most of its existence, and whose name is an acronym of the first names of its members, Agnetha Fältskog, 71, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, 75, Ulvaeus and Andersson.

Their music has remained ubiquitous in the decades since their breakup, in part because of the stage musical “Mamma Mia!” and the two films that followed it.

In 2010, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Earlier, the group launched a website with the title “ABBA Voyage,” teasing the new announcement. Tickets go on sale Tuesday.
