About

The music of legendary pop group ABBA features in the first of two Summer Symphonic Spectaculars taking place in Guildhall Square.

The full Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra will perform at Portsmouth’s Guildhall Square for two summer shows - the first featuring some of Williams' most iconic film scores, and the second a tribute to pop icons ABBA.

ABBA: Symphonic Spectacular will pair the orchestra with a quartet of West End Singers to perform huge hits including Waterloo, SOS, Knowing Me Knowing You, Chiquitita, Voulez Vous, Super Trooper, Fernando, Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen and many more.

Dig out your flares and come prepared to dance in Guildhall Square, or take a place on the Guildhall steps to watch the evening’s entertainment.

With a party atmosphere guaranteed, both nights are sure to end with a fantastic finale!

Presented by The Guildhall Trust in partnership with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, the symphonic spectacular events in the square are an exciting development in the special and long-standing relationship between the two organisations. The BSO performed the first concert inside Portsmouth Guildhall after it was re-opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1959, and these latest shows will be a magnificent spectacle in which to experience live outdoor symphonic concerts with the venue providing a befitting and stunning backdrop.

Ticket options include single-show, full weekend, and VIP upgrades.
