Welcome to ABBA Omnibus | everything ABBA for everyone.

If you follow ABBA Omnibus on social media, you might have noticed that there have been no posts on Facebook since December.

Meta, in its infinite wisdom, suspended the Facebook page due to it being “against community standards”. What went against these standards is not clear, and making any changes to address any potential issue is blocked. A request for review made no difference to this determination.

While attempts to resolve the problem continue, a new page has been created at facebook.com/abbaomnibussite. All fans are welcome to like and follow the new page for continued news about ABBA and the ABBA Omnibus network.

Thank you for your support.

2026 marks three major ABBA anniversaries:

The 50th anniversary of ABBA’s first Greatest Hits album (or local equivalent) getting worldwide release, first in the UK, then in much of the world including the US. *
The 50th anniversary of ABBA’s landmark album Arrival, along with its associated megahits ‘Fernando’ and ‘Dancing Queen’.
The 5th anniversary of ABBA’s amazing return album Voyage.

No doubt some or all of these anniversaries will be commemorated, but how we don’t know yet. We wait and see.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of an all-new compilation CD in Japan, Japanese Singles Collection – Greatest Hits, due out in March. The double-CD features all singles released in Japan, from ‘She’s My Kind Of Girl’ in 1972 to ‘I Still Have Faith In You’ in 2021. It promises to reproduce original Japanese single sleeves in the booklet. Read more about it in the ABBA Omnibus blog.

March is a huge month of anniversaries in Australia, with the 50th anniversary of ABBA’s first visit to Australia to film the television special The Best Of ABBA (aka ABBA In Australia). It’s also the 49th anniversary of ABBA’s legendary concert tour, as immortalized in ABBA – The Movie. You can read all about these events and everything else about ABBA’s history in Australia at sister site The ABBA Phenomenon in Australia.

There’s always something happening here at ABBA Omnibus, so make sure to visit the Updates page for all the latest news and changes.

* it should be noted albums entitled The Best Of ABBA or Greatest Hits had already been released in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and West Germany in the later months of 1975.
