Star present in person to greet Josie Felix at group’s show in east London where digital band members perform their hits
star Björn Ulvaeus has said he believes avatars are the future after greeting the 1 millionth attender at the group’s hit show, Voyage.
Ulvaeus praised the technology as he greeted the guest at the purpose-built Abba Arena in east London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on Monday. Voyage presents digital versions of Abba’s members “performing” some of their greatest hits with a 10-piece live band. The millionth visitor – 20-year-old Josie Felix – was treated to a meet and greet with Ulvaeus and described the experience as “quite extraordinary”.
The show describes itself as “blurring the lines between the physical and digital” using the “latest in motion capture technology”. It adds: “Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid have created the kind of concert they always wanted, performing for their fans at their very best: as digital versions of themselves backed by today’s finest musicians.”
