Boogie the night away as Guildhall Square is brought to life with an outdoor ABBA symphonic spectacular celebrating the Swedish pop superstars and their classic hits!
The full Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra with a quartet of West End Singers will perform Waterloo, SOS, Knowing Me Knowing You, Chiquitita, Voulez Vous, Super Trooper, Fernando, Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen and many, 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.
A party atmosphere is guaranteed, ending with a fantastic finale at the second night of the Symphonic Spectacular concerts in Guildhall Square presented by The Guildhall Trust and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
New for 2025, and one of the first ticketed events to ever take place in the Square, the Symphonic Spectacular events are an exciting development in the long-standing relationship between the two organisations.
It will be a magnificent spectacle to experience a live outdoor symphonic concert with Portsmouth Guildhall as a befitting and stunning backdrop.
