It was way back in 1974 when ABBA first won the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo, and more than forty years since they last performed live... until now.
ABBA Voyage is the incredible new show that brings Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid back together again as digital avatars, backed-up by a 10-piece band in a state-of-the-art 3,000-capacity arena by the Olympic Park.
Using the technological wizardry of Industrial Light & Magic and the magic of motion capture technology, the band have recorded their own movements to create a perfect digital projection of themselves.

The result looks so real and life-like that the audience feels as if they're physically there on stage -- but looking exactly as they did in their 1970s heyday.
Hear classic ABBA tracks and brand-new music
The set-list was handpicked by the band and contains all of their biggest hits including Mamma Mia!, Dancing Queen, Chiquitita, SOS, The Winner Takes It All and Voulez-Vous. But equally exciting for ABBA fans is the chance to hear the new music that came out in 2021, such as I Still Have Faith in You and Don't Shut Me Down.
Special packages are available
There's a variety of different ticket options available from a seat in the auditorium, to a standing spot closer to the stage where you can dance the night away just like during a live concert. If it's a special occasion then why not make it a party and book a dancing booth for up to 12 people?
What the critics say...
The Guardian: ★★★★★ "Jaw dropping. A triumph"; Evening Standard: ★★★★★ "I literally could not believe my eyes"; The Sun: ★★★★★ "Fantastic. A mind-blowing spectacle"; The Times: ★★★★ "Quite simply aweinspiring"

Your comments and questions
Alouise Hi - I will be going to Abba Voyage on 25 June. What's the best (or cheapest) way to get there and back from Heathrow please?
Craig Its not the easiest journey by tube because you have to change a few times - londondrum.com/transport/train-journey.php?from=heathrow-terminals-1-2-3&to=pudding-mill-lane - if you're a UK citizen then its best to pay with your contactless bank card, but if you’re from overseas it depends how long you're staying. A one day travelcard will be easiest, but an Oyster card will be cheaper if you’re here for a couple of days
Janet Waghorn I am going to see ABBA Voyage on 17 Nov with a group of girl friends. We are staying over at the Holiday Inn Express in Stratford. What else is there to do on the 17th & 18th
