1/10 odds given for Abba to reunite for next year's Eurovision Song Contest
Next year's Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Sweden after Loreen won this year's Eurovision for the second time with her song Tattoo.
Reports after that win from The Sun spoke about how Abba could reunite on what will be the 50th anniversary of their Waterloo win at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton
UK Betting Sites make the odds as short as 1/10 that ABBA will perform at next year's Eurovision and it'll be a big shock if they don't make an appearance at the event in some form.
The latest odds from Betway suggest there's a 90% chance that ABBA will perform on the stage at the event in Sweden next year but it could be that we see their holograms instead.
| Eurovision 2024 Specials | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| ABBA to perform on stage at the Grand Final | 1/10 | 90.9% |
| Any country to win by more than 100 points | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Any song to win by 6 points like ABBA did in 1974 | 25/1 | 3.8% |
| Telephone voting to exceed app votes | 66/1 | 1.5% |
| Sweden to pull out as host over financial burden | 100/1 | 1% |
What the expert says..
Abba's Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson ruled out any sort of reunion though
Abba's Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson were interviewed back in May after Sweden's Eurovision victory to discuss that win as well as their potential reunion.
In that interview with the BBC, Ulvaeus and Andersson told Victoria Derbyshire that it won't happen with Andersson saying "I don't want to and if I don't want to, the others won't".
Ulvaeus added, "We can celebrate 50 years of Abba without us being on stage," which may well mean that we see the Abba avatars from their London Abba Voyage shows make an appearance.
Further odds given on what City will host the event in Sweden next year
Further betting specials are given around next year's Eurovision Song Contest including what City will host the prestigious event in 2024.
Sweden of course will host next year's event with the prize of winning Eurovision that you host the event in the following year.
Loreen's second win meant that the country will host the event once more and it's Gothenburg and Stockholm that are joint favourites to host with both given 40% chance.
| Eurovision 2024 Host City | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Gothenburg | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Stockholm | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Malmo | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Uppsala | 10/1 | 9.1% |
