The ABBA Arena is a groundbreaking London venue purpose-built for the spectacular virtual concert experience ABBA Voyage. Unlike any other theatre in the city, this cutting-edge arena combines revolutionary technology with live music and motion-capture avatars of the legendary Swedish band. Set in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, it’s one of the most innovative and immersive venues in the world.
With dazzling visuals, a bespoke sound system, and an atmosphere like a stadium concert blended with theatrical flair, the ABBA Arena is a must-visit destination for music lovers and ABBA fans alike.
The history of the ABBA Arena
The ABBA Arena opened in May 2022 as a custom-built venue created exclusively to house ABBA Voyage, a virtual concert residency featuring digital avatars (“ABBAtars”) of Agnetha, Björn, Benny, and Anni-Frid. The concept was developed by the band in collaboration with Industrial Light & Magic, the visual effects company founded by George Lucas.
Constructed in under a year, the arena is a demountable structure designed by Stufish Entertainment Architects. It features a 360-degree light show, state-of-the-art acoustics, and an immersive auditorium, marking a new era in live entertainment where music, technology, and design converge.
