Following two hugely successful gala performances at the weekend, ABBA Voyage, presented with BBC Radio 2, has raised over £325,000 for BBC Children in Need.
Hosted by BBC Radio 2’s Vernon Kay, the special fundraising event returned to the purpose-built ABBA Arena in East London. Alongside a generous donation from the gala performance ticket sales, ABBA Voyage and its event partners Benugo and Sandbag contributed by donating all hospitality and merchandise profits generated across the day.
"We are thrilled that these two special performances of ABBA Voyage with BBC Radio 2 have helped raise such an incredible amount for BBC Children in Need," said Svana Gisla and Ludvig Andersson, producers of ABBA Voyage. "It means a great deal to know that the joy of ABBA Voyage can help make a real difference to the lives of children and young people across the UK. A big thank you to Vernon Kay and the 5,000-plus audience members who joined us throughout the day and helped create such a magical atmosphere."
The groundbreaking concert experience brings Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad back to the stage as digital avatars of themselves in their prime. Backed by a live ten-piece band, the 100-minute show features the Swedish pop group's biggest global hits inside the custom 3,000-capacity venue at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Since opening in May 2022, the award-winning production has welcomed over 4 million visitors. In May 2025, ABBA Voyage celebrated its third anniversary by expanding its setlist to feature iconic tracks including "Super Trouper", "The Name of the Game", "Money, Money, Money", and "Take a Chance on Me".
Directed by Baillie Walsh and produced by Svana Gisla and Ludvig Andersson for Goldonder AB, ABBA Voyage plays seven concerts a week, with £35 tickets made available monthly for 16-to-25-year-olds.
