ABBA are, undeniably, one of the most successful pop groups of all time. I’m not just saying that as a huge fan who’s seen Mamma Mia! countless times and is obsessed with the theatre production - because you try listening to Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! without singing along and doing a little Tony Manero disco jive. It’s impossible.
And now, 40 years since their last London show, they’re back on stage - sort of - with a revolutionary new concert: ABBA Voyage.
Set in the magnificent purpose-built ABBA Arena in London’s Pudding Mill Lane, the intimate 3,000 capacity venue sees Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad perform digitally with some of the most sophisticated cutting-edge CGI technology first seen in the likes of Star Wars and Marvel films. And I got a front row ticket.
