The Show
ABBA reunites to bring their legendary music back to the stage! Using ground-breaking motion capture technology, Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid have been digitally re-created as incredibly life-like avatars of the Swedish superstars just as they appeared at the height of their fame in 1977. Accompanied by a live band that includes James Righton and Little Boots, the 'ABBA-tars' perform a selection of their most danceable tracks, along with the band's first new songs in 40 years: 'Don't Shut Me Down' and 'I Still Have Faith in You.' Whether you're a lifelong fan or a newcomer, ABBA Voyage is an unmissable musical experience that will transport you back to the band's golden era. Get your dancing shoes on and immerse yourself in the concert, with our standing tickets on the main floor, or sit back, relax and let the music flow with seated tickets and see the show that's been described as "the future of music!"
Please be advised that all Dance Floor tickets are standing only
History of ABBA Voyage
While fans had somewhat lost hope of any sort of reunion for the group, in 2014 Pop Idol creator Simon Fuller approached ABBA with the idea of re-creating a stage performance using digital technology. The project was in development for several years, but finally in 2021, the group carefully selected 22 of their classic songs, including 'Mamma Mia' and 'Dancing Queen,' and performed them together in-studio for the first time in decades. Using a mix of archival footage and sophisticated motion-capture technology, these performances were used to create holographic avatars of the band that could be projected onto a specialised stage, leading to a musical experience that must be seen to be believed. Anticipating the show's popularity, a new purpose-built stadium, the ABBA Arena, was constructed in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. Since its premier in May 2022, ABBA Voyage has been met with universal praise, and the London show is expected to run well into 2023.
Awards and What the Critics Say
ABBA Voyage has been met with near-universal acclaim since it began. 'I Still Have Faith In You,' one of the incredible new songs featured both in the show and the accompanying album, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Record of the Year; in 2022 the group itself was nominated for its first Brit Award in 45 years following the show's success. Critics too have been blown away by the show: David Smyth of the Evening Standard called the show 'the future of music,' writing that "I literally could not believe my eyes." Kate Mossman of the New Statesman also praised Voyage's music, calling 'Don't Shut Me Down' "wonderful and strange."
