London: Ticket to ABBA Voyage

A concert with ABBA, but not the way you expect. I love the idea of digital avatars bringing the band to the stage, then pairing that with today’s musicians and serious lighting and tech. I also like that it’s staged in the sleek, purpose-built ABBA Arena, where you can make a full night of it with food, drink, and a merch shop. The main drawback to plan around is strict rules, including no photos or filming during the concert, plus no food or drinks inside the venue.

If you’re an ABBA fan, this is built for your sing-along side. The show runs for 100 minutes with no intermission, and the set list can vary by performance, even though there were notable additions after ABBA Voyage’s third anniversary in May 2025. Before you go, study the age and entry rules, because they matter a lot for families.

Key points to know before you go

• Digital ABBA avatars on a live stage: you get the concert energy of ABBA with a tech-forward twist.
• 100 minutes, no intermission: plan snacks and bathroom breaks before the show starts.
• Fresh set list additions (post May 2025): includes The Name of the Game, Super Trouper, Money, Money, Money, and Take a Chance on Me.
• Strict no-media policy during the performance: flash photography is not allowed, and video or audio recording is prohibited.
• Family rules are specific: under 3 cannot enter, under 16 must be with an adult, and the dance floor is not recommended under age 12.
• On-site food, drink, and merch options: the arena has places to buy things, even though food and drinks are not allowed inside the concert.

Ticket to ABBA Voyage: where the show actually happens

Your ticket is for the ABBA Voyage concert at the ABBA Arena in Queen Elizabeth Park, London. The venue is purpose-built for this production, so everything about the setup is designed around the performance, not around squeezing a classic concert into an existing building.

When you arrive, your job is simple: present your ticket at ABBA Arena. That’s the main meeting point detail, and it helps cut down guesswork. Since transport to the venue is not included, you’ll want to make sure you have a reliable way to get there and get back on time, especially because the show has no intermission.

Entry rules that can make or break your night

ABBA Voyage is clearly aiming for a controlled, distraction-free show. That means the rules are not just suggestions. Here are the big ones you should plan around:

• Food and drinks are not allowed. The arena does have food and drink options, but you should not count on eating during the concert itself.
• No luggage or large bags. If you’re a pack-light person, you’re in luck. If you carry a lot, you may want to rethink what you bring.
• No flash photography. Even without filming, flash can disrupt the show, so it’s prohibited.
• No video recording and no audio recording.
• Glass objects are not allowed.
• Strictly no photos or filming during the concert. If you’re the type who captures everything, you’ll need to switch to being present.

Practical tip: if you want snacks, buy them at the arena before the performance begins. Then settle in and leave your camera habits at home. Yes, it feels like a rule-heavy night, but it also helps explain why the show stays so focused.

The 100-minute show: digital ABBA with today’s sound

What makes ABBA Voyage compelling is how it reframes a familiar concept. Instead of seeing ABBA as a standard band setup, you’re watching digital versions of themselves take the stage. Then those avatars are backed by today’s finest musicians, which keeps the sound grounded in real performance rather than something purely pre-recorded.

The production is described as blending cutting-edge technology, spectacular lighting, and some of the most beloved songs ever written. In plain terms, you’re not just listening to favorites. You’re watching a stage picture that keeps changing. That matters because the show is 100 minutes with no intermission, so the pacing has to hold attention the whole way through.

Why this format is worth it: a no-break concert is either forgettable or expertly built. Here, the whole point is that the visuals and live musicians keep the momentum running. If you like shows where the energy is continuous, you’ll probably love this structure.

Set list highlights, including the May 2025 additions

The set list now includes new additions following ABBA Voyage’s third anniversary in May 2025. Some of the named songs you can look out for include:

• The Name of the Game
• Super Trouper
• Money, Money, Money
• Take a Chance on Me

Two practical notes. First, the set list may vary by performance, so treat this as what’s been added, not a guaranteed playlist. Second, ABBA songs are so recognizable that even a small swap can change the flow of your sing-along mood. If you’re chasing specific tracks, keep your expectations flexible and let the night surprise you.

ABBA Arena time: food, drink, and merch before and after

The ABBA Arena is more than a backdrop. It’s set up as a complete stop, with food, drink, and merchandise options. The key detail is that food and drinks are not allowed during the concert, but that doesn’t mean you have nothing to do beforehand. It simply means you should plan your timing.

Here’s a good way to think about it:

• Use the arena time to eat or grab a drink before the show begins.
• Pick up merchandise early or after, depending on how you like to manage crowds.
• If you want a souvenir, plan for it during your visit window, since you cannot rely on filming your haul later inside the show.

Even the best concert can feel rushed if you’re starving. This venue design helps you build in comfort, as long as you follow the no-food-and-drink rule during the performance.

Choosing the right spot if you’re bringing kids

This is one of those experiences where age rules are more than fine print. They directly affect who can attend and where certain areas are comfortable.

Here’s what you should know:

• The event is recommended for those over 6 years old.
• Children under 3 will not be allowed.
• Under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and they may not sit in the arena on their own.
• The dance floor area is not recommended for anyone younger than 12.

So, should families book it? Often yes, especially for older kids who understand the idea of a high-tech, no-interruption concert. But you’ll want to match your child’s stamina to a 100-minute show with no intermission. If your child needs frequent resets, plan it carefully.

Who this concert suits best, and who should think twice

This ticket fits you best if you love ABBA and you’re open to a production that leans hard into technology. The whole concept is built around the moment when digital avatars take to the stage, then you ride that energy for the full length of the show.

You’ll likely enjoy it if:

• you want a concert built for singing along
• you like dramatic lighting and stage effects
• you enjoy musical performances that feel tightly paced

You might want to think twice if:

• you want to record the show yourself, because strictly no photos or filming during the concert
• you’re hoping to bring snacks or drinks in
• you’re traveling with a lot of luggage, since large bags are not allowed
• your group includes kids who do not fit the age guidance or accompaniment rules

Value check: what’s included, what you must add

This experience includes your ticket to the ABBA Voyage concert. What it does not include is food and drinks, and it also does not include transport to the venue.

That’s not a bad deal if you plan around it. It’s basically telling you: this package is for the show itself, and the rest is on you. The upside is that the arena has food, drink, and merchandise options, so you won’t be stuck looking for things right at the last minute. The key is to budget time and money for those extras, since you can’t bring your own inside the concert.

Should you book Ticket to ABBA Voyage?

I’d book it if you want a memorable ABBA night that’s built like a modern production, not a standard concert format. The digital avatars, the pairing with live musicians, and the continuous 100 minutes with no intermission are the heart of the value. Add in the May 2025 set list additions, and you have a show that feels current while still focused on the classics.

Skip or rethink it if you care deeply about capturing the concert on your phone, or if your group needs flexibility for eating during the performance. The rules are clear, and they shape the whole experience.

If your top priority is being part of a disciplined, high-energy sing-along and you can respect the no-photo policy, this is one of those London experiences that feels intentionally designed for the moment you sit down.
