What are ABBA concerts today - and what formats exist?

ABBA concerts today generally do not mean performances by the original band, but rather tribute productions, orchestral arrangements or themed evening programmes that draw on the Swedish group's repertoire. The offering is varied and ranges from small club shows to large concert halls.

The four members of ABBA - Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad - last appeared in 2021 with the album "Voyage", which was accompanied by a virtual concert show in London. Since then, interest in live performances of their music has continued to grow. Over 150 upcoming events with an ABBA connection are currently recorded in our database, the first of them as early as June 2026 in Ulm. Anyone searching specifically should check the events calendar regularly, as new dates are added on an ongoing basis.

Concert venues in Germany: What's on in summer 2026

Summer 2026 brings a dense succession of concert evenings in Germany - particularly at established venues. Those who want to keep track of other music programmes alongside ABBA concerts will find a selection of specific dates here.

On 24 June 2026, several ensembles are performing at different locations: at the Dresdner Zwinger, the Peer Gynt - Northern Lights of Classicism I DRESDNER RESIDENZ KONZERTE I ORCHESTER takes place, an evening of Nordic Romanticism in a historic setting. Also on 24 June, the Duisburger Philharmoniker give their concert at the Mercatorhalle Duisburg - tickets are available via the event's Eventim link. In Berlin, the Philharmonie opens on the same evening for the Special Concerts - Philharmonie Berlin, and in Dresden the programme of the Special Concerts - Semperoper Dresden runs in parallel at the Kulturpalast.

One day later, on 25 June, the Festival Koinzidenz - Orchestral Concerts at the Elbphilharmonie is on the programme in Hamburg. For those who prefer to travel to Hanover: the NDR Radiophilharmonie presents its Concerts for Young Artists there on 25 June in the Kleiner Sendesaal of NDR. On 26 June, the Baroque Concerts - NDR Radiophilharmonie follow in Hanover at the Galerie Herrenhausen, as well as the School and Youth Concerts at the opera house in Halle (Saale).

Buying tickets for ABBA concerts: How to go about it

Tickets for ABBA concerts and related events are generally available through the official box offices of the respective venues or through platforms such as Eventim. Those who book early have a better choice of seats for popular productions.

Some practical tips for buying tickets:

  • Buying directly from the organiser or venue often saves advance booking fees.
  • For orchestral evenings and concert halls, it is worth looking at subscriptions - many philharmonics offer packages that are cheaper than individual tickets.
  • For tribute shows, pricing varies considerably; comparing several providers makes sense.
  • Those who are flexible sometimes find remaining tickets shortly before the concert - though without any guarantee of good seats.

A current overview of all available concerts in Germany is provided by the corresponding overview page on evental.eu.

Why ABBA music has such a lasting presence

Hardly any pop band of the 1970s is revived as regularly as ABBA. This is not only due to the catchy melodies, but also because the songs work well orchestrally - something philharmonics and chamber ensembles make use of time and again.

Added to this is the success of the musical "Mamma Mia!", which has been performed worldwide since the late 1990s and has introduced a new generation of listeners to the music. Those interested in theatre productions related to ABBA material will find current productions on the Theatre overview page. Festivals also occasionally include ABBA tributes in their programme - especially in summer, when open-air stages are in demand.
