Actually, other than Elvis Presley, Abba would be the longest shot there is.

But i heard on BBC Breakfast (i'm hot for Susanna Reid, btw) that they could be coming together for a one-off show that would be broadcast around the world. We've also heard recently that Glastonbury will be broadcast worldwide this year and Emily Eavis has also said a huge pop act has been booked.

After piecing these vague bits of information together i'm almost certain we'll see Abba at Glasto this year

[DaiBoyCookie]

they did say they had the biggest pop group in the world

This would be as big a coup as getting U2 and probably as popular as getting Stevie...my auld wan would flip her sh*t if I managed to see Abba and she missed them!

[Langdale Wolf]

I would rather shake hands with James Corden than watch or listen to Abba.

Abba are a stain on the popular cultural pastime that is music - I would rather be critically injured than listen to them.

They're horrible, they're offensive and they're the most annoying Swedish thing ever - even more so than stuck in a queue for Ikea to buy a set of third rate shelves that have the strength of wet cardboard.

Please god - no, no and thrice no.

Yeah, they could play the Park stage on Saturday night, just before the Libertines.

only as big? this would be the biggest coup in the history of coups. the only thing that could outdo it is someone inventing a time machine and saving john lennon and george harrison from their early graves.

abba > queen

[Haggis]

Just how creepy could watching a 65-year-old Bjorn sing 'Does your Mother Know?' be?

Hitler was also big back in the day.  Shall we get him back as well?

only if he plays the hits. don't want any new material.

i used to be of the same persuasion as you. but my girlfriend took me to her works night out at an abba tribute night and i realised how good they actually were. then bjorn again came to glasto/T and was great!

Listen to The Visitors.  It's good, honest.  I wouldn't lie to you.

It nearly makes me smile to think that it's the dark haired one in Abba that was the product of the eugenics experiments in WWII.

Christ you're easily led.  Grow a pair, man!

My mum likes Abba, my dad has ridiculed her for decades.  Then I started listening to them (well, subjected to them).  I thought - aged 7 - that they were complete dog turd, and my hatred for them has grown the older I've become.

I banned anyone from requested any of their 'music' from my wedding, with distinct instructions to the DJ to name and shame anyone who dared ask for them (which a few people did just to piss me off).

They're an insult to music, and I consider them to be a pisstake of the worst parts of the Bay City Rollers and the Osmonds with stabilisers.

cheer up, have a lollipop

tell me you wouldn't like dancing queen if that dude with the curly hair and his tashed mate had written it.

One of Us is a brilliant song.

Of course I wouldn't f**king like it - it's completely, totally GASH.  (And by the way - if you must to try and compare them to Queen, I do know that the lads did some pretty awful songs you know.  They're not immune from criticism.  They're not I Am Kloot).

People wonder why this country is so f**ked up at the moment, and blame the government.  Personally, it's knowing that Mamma f**king Mia is the best selling DVD of all time that points to why it's such a complete mess.

This country is populated by complete morons.
