Welcome to ABBA Omnibus | everything ABBA for everyone.
October 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the release of ABBA’s classic album Arrival. Media outlets around the world have been outdoing themselves writing in praise of this landmark.
It seems we’re not getting any special reissue for this anniversary, beyond the ‘Dancing Queen’ reissue and merchandise released in August. Though perhaps that’s best. We’ve had the deluxe edition CD/DVD (2006) and half-speed mastered vinyl (2016). Unless there is new music, there’s not much point in a new reissue.
Still, we commemorate the ABBA/ARRIVAL 50th anniversary with a special feature.
Coming soon are a couple of new books: Agnetha Beyond ABBA by Remko van Drongelen, detailing Agnetha’s life and career primarily outside ABBA, and Makalösa Micke or Matchless Micke by Lennart Zetterberg, the first ever book about recording engineer Michael B. Tretow. See New releases for details.
There’s always something happening here at ABBA Omnibus, so make sure to visit the Updates page for all the latest news and changes.
