ABBA Arena

โ˜… 4.9 (19,895)$$$ ยท Expensive

ABBA Arena was constructed specifically to house ABBA Voyage, a concert experience that fuses motion-capture avatars of the band in their 1970s prime with a ten-piece live band playing every night. The venue's design keeps every one of its seats within a set distance of the stage, and the sound and lighting are built around the illusion rather than retrofitted to it. Nearly 20,000 reviews and a 4.9 rating make it one of London's most consistently praised nights out, and the top-tier must_see and aesthetic scores reflect a genuine technical spectacle rather than a niche curiosity. It works best as a dedicated evening out, not something to combine with much else beforehand given the arena's location away from the main tourist core.

โœจ Reasons to go

  • 1The arena was purpose-built to stage ABBA Voyage, a concert of digital avatars depicting the band in their 1970s prime alongside a ten-piece live band.
  • 2Seating is designed so every seat sits within a fixed distance of the stage, with sound and lighting engineered specifically around the avatar illusion rather than added afterward.

๐Ÿ’ก Good to know

  • 1Book tickets well in advance as shows regularly sell out
  • 2arrive early to allow time for security and finding your standing/dancing area near the stage
  • 3check accessible ticket options if needed, as reviewers note the venue handles this well

What people say

"We had accessible tickets and found the whole experience really good. From disabled parking to the seats location. My daughter had a wheelchair space, I sat in the seat next to her. We had good unobstructed view. The staff was lovely and very helpful. You have to email them prior the event to book disabled parking spot. We forgot to do it and emailed just hours before and thankfully got reply just as we were leaving the house that they have added the parking to our tickets. Amazing! We really enjoyed it. Just a warning: it is very loud, so if you are sensitive. I would advise to have ear defenders just in case. And a lot of very bright and flashing lights, if you are sensitive. We have no problems with these things and found the experience quite trippy ))) There was a free water refill station which was great ๐Ÿ‘"
