To be able to finally share this endeavour with the world is a proud moment for us and we can't wait to welcome you to our arena in East London, a place where we are so happy to be."<br/><br/>Baillie Walsh, Director:<br/>"I watched ABBA win the Eurovision song contest in 1974, and never did I imagine that 47 years later I would be with them on this extraordinary voyage. Life is weird and wonderful sometimes."<br/><br/>Wayne McGregor, Choreographer: "Imagine: growing up in the North of England in the 70's and learning to ballroom, Latin and disco dance to the incredible songs of ABBA. I was 8 and I was totally transported. Fast forward to 2020, being in Sweden and dancing with ABBA - in real life! I was about to be 50 and I was totally transported again. That is the magic of ABBA. <br/>We have shared many creative and joyful adventures with a bold collaborative team to make the impossible possible for ABBA Voyage: technological wizardry, state of the art immersion and entertainment innovation. And still at its searing heart we simply have new songs, new moves, classic songs, classic moves: ABBA is DANCE and always will be. See you on the dancefloor".<br/><br/>Sir Lucian Grainge, Chairman & CEO, Universal Music Group:<br/>"From the very beginning of my career, and having had the privilege to work with them directly for many years since, it's been a tremendous joy to be surrounded by ABBA and their music. Their boundless creativity and timeless melodies makes us want to partner with them on everything they do because we know it will be simply great."<br/><br/>The music video for 'I Still Have Faith In You' has been directed by Shynola.

Hollingshead: Stay dead [Vinyl LP]

Hooker John Lee: It serve you right to suffer [Gatefold / Vinyl LP]

Väntan är nu äntligen över när Miss Li idag presenterar albumet "Underbart i all misär". Ett album sprunget ur Miss Lis resa av självrannsakan och terapi. För att ingenting är just svart eller vitt, mitt i misären finns även det underbara. Med på plattan finns även de hittills framgångsrika släppta singlarna Komplicerad, Instruktionsboken, Starkare, Terapi, Förlåt och Utan Dig som gemensamt streamats över 100 miljoner gånger redan innan albumet presenterats i sin helhet.<br/><br/>Miss Li har under de senaste åren befäst sig som en av Sveriges absolut främsta artister och låtskrivare. Hon har enbart i år belönats med två grammisnomineringar, två P3-guldnomineringar och tillskrivits titeln Sveriges mest kvinnliga streamade artist. Med över femton år i branschen lyckas hon gång på gång bibehålla sin position och överträffa sig själv. Trots 8 studioalbum i ryggen och flertal stora samarbeten så är det här första gången världen får ta del av ett Miss Li album helt på svenska.<br/><br/>Albumet "Underbart i all misär" samtliga låtar är producerade och skrivna tillsammans med Miss Li själv och sin ständiga kompanjon Sonny Gustafsson. Deras oemotståndliga melodier, Sonnys snärtiga produktioner och Lindas träffsäkra texter har knappast undgått någon. Med flertalet låtar ständigt på topp- och radiolistorna, hederstiteln "Årets Hållbara artist" och slutsålda turnéer så är det få svenska artister som kan mäta sig med Miss Li just nu.
