ABBA Concerts in Austria 2026: All Dates at a Glance

From July to the end of August 2026, the Austrian ABBA shows are spread across five cities and three different productions. Anyone planning several evenings therefore has the choice between open-air stages, historic courtyards and an outdoor club by the water.

The opening show is Abba - Mamma Mia and much more on 9 July at the Domplatz in Klagenfurt - an open-air format that makes use of the charm of the medieval square. One day later, on 10 July, the same production visits Graz at the Kasemattenbühne, one of the best-known summer venues in Styria.

At the end of July, on 26 July, THE MAGIC OF ABBA comes to the Wolkenturm in Grafenegg - an amphitheatre site known for its acoustics. The same show returns to the Kasemattenbühne in Graz on 16 August.

Those who prefer something more dance-oriented will find a different offering in the "Mamma Mia Party - Das Konzert - Die Abba Party Tour!": on 2 August the tour plays at the Vienna City Beach Club (Open Air) in Vienna, and on 29 August at the City Beats Festival in Salzburg.

All Austrian ABBA dates as well as further concerts can be found in the concert overview on evental or directly on the ABBA artist page.

Three Formats, Three Experiences

The eight Austrian shows can be broadly divided into three categories that differ considerably in their approach and atmosphere.

"Abba - Mamma Mia and much more" relies on a classic concert format with a tribute band: musicians and singers perform the hits live, often with an elaborate stage show. The title suggests that the programme goes beyond the most well-known Mamma Mia songs.

"THE MAGIC OF ABBA" is a production of its own, appearing at the Wolkenturm Grafenegg and in Graz. Grafenegg is an established festival site for classical and popular music; the combination of the Swedes' repertoire and this setting attracts a broad audience.

"Mamma Mia Party - Das Konzert - Die Abba Party Tour!" is clearly aimed at an audience that wants to sing along and dance. The Vienna City Beach Club and City Beats in Salzburg are venues that offer more of a club and festival atmosphere than traditional concert seating.

Venues and Getting There

The venues are located in five Austrian cities and vary in how easily they can be reached by public transport. You should check specific travel information directly with the respective organiser or on the ticket pages - details can change occasionally.

  • Domplatz Klagenfurt - central city square, within walking distance of the main train station
  • Kasemattenbühne Graz - on the Schlossberg, reachable by lift or stairs from the city centre
  • Wolkenturm Grafenegg - outside the village, usually reached by car or shuttle from Grafenegg station
  • Vienna City Beach Club, Vienna - on the Donaukanal, easily accessible by underground
  • City Beats, Salzburg - festival site in Salzburg, exact location on the ticket page

Anyone also planning other summer events in Austria will find a good overview in the festival calendar.

Tickets: Where to Buy and What to Keep in Mind

All eight shows can be booked via oeticket.com; the links lead directly to the respective event pages. Some formats, such as the "Mamma Mia Party Tour", are touring productions appearing at several locations - so those with flexibility can choose between Vienna and Salzburg.

Prices and availability are listed on the ticket pages of the individual events. As open-air concerts in summer tend to sell out early, it is worth checking in good time. The current status of all ABBA events in Austria can be seen on the artist page.

Frequently Asked Questions About ABBA Concerts
