Recently, 10 very excited members of the ASA family had the pleasure of enjoying a wonderful night of ABBA-mania thanks to the generosity of the team at ABBA Voyage for hosting them .. and they are still buzzing!

“1972 Stockholm. One of the biggest pop and disco bands has just been founded in the capital of Sweden ready to rock the stages of the entire world with their powerful performances and unforgettable songs.
2022. After 50 years the magic is back in London for a permanent show that will join enthusiasts, nostalgics and the new generations of fans.
ABBA mania is back and in 2024 I was one of the lucky ones who attended this cool and magical party where everybody is strictly invited (apart from your mobiles and cameras. They can stay home to “re-charge” for one night).
Come as you are: with colourful and bright Payette, sparkle tops, long wigs, but comfortable shoes (oh yes, you’re going to dance all night.. even after the show!)
Expect the incredible… this journey started in 1972 to celebrate the best dance music of all time. Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid are back again, younger than ever (literally) ready to hit the stage with their best performance.
During the show, you will enjoy many of the great ABBA hits such as Mamma Mia to S.O.S, Knowing me Knowing you, Voulez-Vous – to name but a few of the songs performed by the 4 Swedish stars.
The show starts as soon as you arrive at the Arena, where you can relax and drink before the show. The feeling in the air is one of pure joy and excitement.
You can choose whether to sit or dance all night… I was on the dancing floor with my colleagues (yes 10 of us!) . When we arrived, we made our way around the Arena to find the best spot for dancing and to see the show – we were not disappointed!
Lights down, phones and cameras away. Now it’s time for music, dance, and entertainment.
I absolutely love live concerts (especially rock), but sometimes I feel like people do not really enjoy the show fully. Their focus seems to be on taking the best shots, recording their favourite songs, taking videos, posing for Instagram etc…
Well, you can forget all this at ABBA Voyage! No phones, no distractions. You are there purely with your eyes, ears and body to dance, sing and laugh repeatedly for 90 minutes. Incredibly entertaining, this show is fully immersive, engaging and almost hypnotic – no social media or digital distractions can take you out of the moment or away from the magic.
What a fantastic night! Seeing people around me captivated for 90 minutes: laughing, dancing, and singing all made me realise one thing…I wish more concerts could be like this!
Thank you for the journey #ABBAVoyage”
