Introduction
Your Official First Look at ABBA Voyage: A Groundbreaking Concert Experience
In London’s heart, the ABBA Arena has become the center of a new chapter in music history. With ABBA Voyage, the legendary Swedish supergroup takes fans on a futuristic journey that merges cutting-edge technology with timeless music. For the first time, audiences are witnessing ABBA as digital avatars, bringing the band back to the stage in a way that feels both nostalgic and revolutionary.
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Vision
ABBA Voyage is not a typical concert. It is a carefully crafted spectacle where innovation meets artistry. The show presents Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, Agnetha Fältskog, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad as highly realistic digital performers, designed to look like the group in their 1979 prime. These “ABBAtars” perform alongside a live ten-piece band, creating the perfect blend of past and present. Every detail—from costumes designed by Bálmain to stage lighting—was developed to preserve ABBA’s spirit while giving fans a modern arena experience.
The Music That Defined Generations
Audiences are treated to a setlist that celebrates ABBA’s greatest hits and hidden gems. From the disco anthems Dancing Queen and Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! to emotional ballads like The Winner Takes It All, the performance reminds us why ABBA’s music continues to resonate across generations. Carefully selected tracks ensure that longtime fans relive the magic of the 1970s and ’80s while newcomers discover the enduring power of the group’s catalog.
The Arena Built for ABBA
The ABBA Arena itself is part of the spectacle. Constructed specifically for the Voyage project, this state-of-the-art venue in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park was designed to create an immersive experience. With a capacity of 3,000, the theater offers standing and seated options, ensuring intimacy and energy in every performance. Every element, from acoustics to visuals, was tailored to bring the ABBAtars to life with stunning clarity.
Behind the Technology
The production of ABBA Voyage is the result of years of collaboration between ABBA, Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), and some of the world’s leading creative minds. Advanced motion-capture techniques allowed the real members of ABBA to perform their songs again, capturing every movement and expression. These recordings were then transformed into hyper-realistic avatars, offering fans a chance to see the group perform as they remember them—youthful, energetic, and full of charisma.
An Emotional Connection
For ABBA’s global fanbase, Voyage is more than a concert—it is a reunion decades in the making. The project allows millions who never had the chance to see ABBA live in the 1970s to now share in the experience. For many, it is deeply emotional, a moment to celebrate music that shaped their lives while witnessing innovation that points toward the future of live entertainment.
A New Era in Performance
ABBA Voyage has set a new standard for what concerts can be. By combining artistry, nostalgia, and technology, the production proves that music knows no boundaries of time. Whether you are a lifelong fan or a curious newcomer, the show at the ABBA Arena offers something unforgettable—an official first look at the future of live music.
