ABBA's ground-breaking virtual concert experience ABBA Voyage has added even more shows after opening to glowing reviews in spring 2022 and welcoming over two million visitors.
Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Frida last performed together in 1982, and this show sees the Eurovision winners and international pop icons recreated in digital 'ABBAtar' form.
Created in partnership with TV and film effects experts Industrial Light & Magic, these figures are the stars of a virtual experience in a real-life concert hall located in London that's been designed especially for the occasion.
As well as all the classics you probably know inside out, the concert also features the band's first new material in several decades, taken from their 2021 album Voyage.
With booking now open for future shows until late October 2025, here's how you can see the show.
ABBA Voyage tickets
What to Read Next
ABBA Voyage shows resume this Saturday (January 18) after a short break. The experience is now booking until October 27, 2025, having been extended again from its previous endpoint in mid-May 2025.
The official ABBA Voyage website has the most up-to-date availability information, with a clickable calendar and traffic light system to show ticket availability.
Availability in January 2025 is limited, with the most tickets available on Wednesdays and Thursdays. If you're lucky enough to be attending on January 31, then congratulations – you'll be at the 1,000th ABBA Voyage performance.
February and March present a similar picture, with good availability for some Sunday evening performances in addition.
The greatest flexibility kicks in from mid-April 2025 onwards, where almost every dot on the calendar is green until the end of the run.
At the moment, ABBA Voyage shows usually take place on Wednesdays through Sundays, with two shows per day on weekends (plus an additional Monday show on February 17).
There is a two-week gap in the schedule over spring, with no ABBA Voyage shows from May 12 to May 28 inclusive. Performances resume again on May 29.
According to the New York Times, planning permission for the ABBA Arena is set to expire in April 2026, with reports suggesting that this area of the Olympic Park will then be designated for housing.
Access tickets are available to book online via the official ABBA Voyage website, with dedicated email addresses for any related queries. All ticketing is digital, although you can purchase a souvenir printed ticket for an extra fee which will be mailed to you after the show.
The arena features seating and a standing space (called the Dance Floor, obviously). The seating also includes Dance Booths, which can be booked for groups.
Tickets for ABBA Voyage are also available via Ticketmaster. Resale is strictly prohibited, although Ticketmaster now operates a verified fan-to-fan ticket exchange system – more details on which are available here.
ABBA Voyage ticket, coach and hotel packages
Get Your Guide offers cross-London coach travel, with prices starting from £55, and the option to bundle your coach ticket with a ticket for the ABBA Voyage show.
Bundles include your chosen ticket (with priority entrance to the venue) and a return coach ticket to London's Victoria coach station on a specially-branded ABBA Voyage electric bus. If you're travelling from outside of London, you'll need to arrange your own travel to Victoria coach station.
Meanwhile, Holiday Extras is now offering combined ABBA Voyage ticket and hotel packages. You can choose between Dance Floor (standing) or seated tickets, and the package will include "overnight stay at a nearby London hotel" and a "delicious breakfast".
As you go through the checkout process, you'll be able to choose from a range of available hotels. You'll be provided with basic details initially including the hotel's star rating, its distance from the venue, and whether the booking is flexible or not.
Once you've selected somewhere to stay, you'll be able to see further information about the hotel before confirming your choice.

ABBA Voyage concert start time and duration
Show times are noted on the official ABBA Voyage website, although it's advised that you check your tickets for the correct performance start time.
We'd also recommend leaving a good amount of time to pass through security checks and ticket scanning on entry. The concert running time is 90 minutes straight through – so no interval.
As for the setlist? Well, no spoilers here – but it's highly likely that you'll be able to experience at least one of your favourite tracks from the ABBA back catalogue, if not more…
ABBA Voyage location – plus ABBA Arena capacity
The purpose-built, hexagonal ABBA Arena seats 1,650 people, and has standing room for 1,350. According to construction industry journal Building, it was designed as "a demountable temporary venue", which means there's the option to dismantle it, relocate it and reassemble it with relative ease.
The arena space has been designed in a way to enable it to be column-free, with a 65-million-pixel screen that wraps around the audience.
The ABBA Arena is located in the Olympic Park in Stratford, east London, right next to Pudding Mill Lane DLR station. There are also around 100 places to park bicycles near the arena gates.
The arena has step-free entry and as mentioned above, there are access and step-free seating options available once you get inside.
Is the ABBA Voyage concert good?
The Guardian, NME, Variety and the Evening Standard were all united in praise for the concert, so let's just say the opening-night reviews speak for themselves.
That said, I still wanted to check it out for myself and was lucky enough to be one of The Visitors (sorry, I'll show myself out) to ABBA Voyage back in November 2022. I'd say that you do need to be prepared to suspend your disbelief to fully immerse yourself in all of ABBA Voyage's visual and sound trickery, and it did take me a few songs to achieve this.
But if you can get to that place, then you can expect a memorable experience. Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker's description of the concert leaving him in "a state of confusion", as quoted in the New York Times report of ABBA Voyage's world premiere, is somewhat relatable.
Without giving too much away (I don't want to spoil too many surprises, the setlist included), while everyone's talking about the visuals – from stunning light fittings to elaborate costumes for the so-called 'ABBAtars' which, per Vogue, were actually made in real life – the sound quality in the arena is simply great.
The original recordings of ABBA are complimented by a sensational live band, who also get their moments to shine. At times, it can feel like so much is going on and you don't quite know where to look – whether you're standing or, as I was, in the seats – but that just adds to how exhilarating the experience feels.
Still pondering whether to book or not? Well, one surprise that's out there in the open thanks to the official ABBA Voyage social media channels – if you're really, really, really lucky, you might be there on an evening when one of actual, real-life ABBA decides to come along and watch the show. Who knows?
ABBA Voyage merch and gifts
Yes, there is an official ABBA Voyage merch line, which is regularly refreshed. You can purchase items both at the ABBA Arena and via the online shop.
You can choose from a wide range of ABBA Voyage promotional merchandise including reusable water bottles, posters, magnets, hot water bottle covers, ABBA-branded clothing (including dog bandanas!) – and, of course, an official concert programme.

You can also get classic ABBA output on vinyl, as well as a selection of items commemorating the 50th anniversary of the band's iconic Eurovision-winning track 'Waterloo'.
Unfortunately, the ABBA Voyage cassettes are sold out at the band's main store – so you may have to try your luck on eBay or purchase via ABBA's US store.
ABBA Voyage is now booking until October 27, 2025. Tickets are on sale via the official website and Ticketmaster, with ticket and coach packages available via GetYourGuide and ticket and hotel packages available via Holiday Extras.
