ABBA chose to have Voyage show in London to stick by the UK in the wake of Brexit

ABBA located their ground-breaking show in London because they wanted to stick by the UK in the wake of Brexit.

The band - Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Björn Ulvaeus - made an "emotional choice more than a commercial choice" to stage ABBA Voyage in London, according to show producer Svana Gisla.

She reveals: "There were a lot of companies leaving, there was a lot of uncertainty about the UK at the time and it was ABBA themselves that decided, 'No, we want to come in. They might be leaving, but we want to come in', because ABBA has been incredibly much-loved in the UK."
