ABBA Voyage unveils new tracks at third anniversary event
There's some exciting new changes afoot at the show...

ABBA Voyage has unveiled setlist changes for the first time in the show’s history, allowing fans to experience iconic tracks that weren’t previously a part of the groundbreaking event.
The revolutionary concert – which sees the group depicted as ABBAtars – first opened back in 2022 and was dubbed a “jaw-dropping spectacle” in our first review.
Now, it seems that original devotees have a good reason to go back. With band-members Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad in attendance last night, the crowd was given the chance to witness the new songs for the very first time. ‘Super Trouper’ now takes an early starring role in the show, while we saw ‘The Name of the Game’ and ‘Money Money Money’ for the first time at last night’s event.
Excitingly though, we were told that ‘Super Trouper’ will alternate with ‘Take a Chance on Me’ between shows, which means that each offering will be slightly different.
It’s a worthwhile change to keep fans coming back and, if last night’s crowd was anything to go by, one that’s set to go down like a storm.
“When we first opened we never imagined that we’d still be in London 3 years on. We’re very grateful that so many of you have joined us,” said ABBA. “Of course, the reason for us being able to sustain our concert for so long is because of our incredible audience. As we say in Sweden… Vilken resa!”
“Last night, though – and for the rest of ABBA’s residency – we can, once again, just be thankful for the music,” we wrote back in 2022.
On the basis of last night’s showing, that’s still very much the case.
