Review: ABBA Voyage

ABBA and I? We’re practically old pals.

Picture this: I’m grooving to ‘Dancing Queen’ while still cosy in my mother’s womb. I made quite the entrance into the world, belting out ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen’ instead of the usual baby wails. And in that moment, I unofficially became ABBA’s fifth member. I mean, come on, I even had Agnetha’s golden locks! Maybe it’s a bit of a daydream, but hey, in the world of ABBA, who’s to say dreams can’t come true?

ABBA’s real charm lies in their on-stage magic, the chemistry that made them legends, and their unforgettable hits spanning four decades.

Now, for folks like me who missed out on the epic gigs and tours of the 70s and 80s, ABBA’s heyday is nothing short of a historic moment. Remember their electrifying debut at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest? That’s when the magic happened. ABBA, Agnetha, Björn, Benny, and Anni-Frid, swept the world off its feet with douze-points energy. And guess what? They’re still rocking, loved by fans young and old. But here’s the thing – ABBA’s real charm lies in their on-stage magic, the chemistry that made them legends, and their unforgettable hits spanning four decades.

Now, get ready for the jaw-dropping ABBA Voyage immersive experience. Stepping into the purpose-built ABBA Arena, you're in for a wild ride. You’ve heard it’s an augmented experience, a deep dive into ABBA’s world, but nothing, and I mean nothing, can prepare you for the sheer magic, beauty, and realness of it all. ‘Awe’ doesn't even begin to cover it. Suddenly, your feet are tapping, your heart’s racing, and your love for ABBA just spills out. Because that’s why you’re here – to be at an ABBA concert, right there on stage, soaking up the love, the passion, and the soul of their music.

ABBA Voyage is a masterpiece…

Now, let’s talk production. ABBA Voyage is a masterpiece, and trust me, I’ve seen my fair share of immersive events. The set design, the lighting, the atmosphere, the sound – it’s all top-notch, making this performance truly world-class. I’m sitting there, trying to figure out how they pulled it off, and I can only conclude they must have a team of magicians working behind the scenes.

ABBA Voyage? It’s not just a show. It’s a joyride, a celebration of ABBA’s legacy. It’s an impressive experience, sure, but it’s also a time capsule of one of the greatest bands of our era. And it’s a glimpse into the future of paying tribute to music legends, both past and future. Simply put, ABBA Voyage is a blast!
