About ABBA Voyage

Now in its fifth year playing at the purpose-built ABBA Arena in Stratford, ABBA Voyage is a groundbreaking concert experience featuring digital avatars of the famous Swedish pop band performing their classic hits as if they were really on stage.

Blending cutting-edge technology, spectacular lighting, fantastic sound, a live band and some of ABBA's most beloved songs, the jaw-dropping show continues to delight audiences and fans of all ages.

The challenge

For the organisers, choosing London to host ABBA Voyage was an obvious choice – the Swedish band has always felt that the UK was their second home and London is a hub of creativity, so it felt like a natural fit. However, the challenge was to find the right venue.

The organisers needed an area large enough to build a purpose-built arena and they finally settled on east London near the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. They have worked closely with the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) and neighbouring boroughs throughout their tenure.

How we helped

The ABBA Voyage team joined London & Partners at trade shows around the world that have been lucrative and a great way to spread awareness of the product – particularly for example at trade shows such as IMEX Frankfurt and IMEX America.
