ABBA Gold

The acclaimed ABBA Gold tribute show is making its way back to Brighton, marking their first performance here since a sold-out gig at Komedia back in 2017. This isn't just a casual cover band; the show is known for being a sensational live performance featuring seven musicians who sing and play everything in real time, focusing on faithfully recreating the classic ABBA sound and energy.

ABBA Gold has a history spanning over 20 years of global touring, and they bring a full spectacle to the stage. Expect to see a minimum of eight costume changes throughout the night, alongside professional lighting and pyrotechnics, all designed to capture the look and feel of the original band. The event is scheduled to take place in the Komedia Basement at 44-47 Gardner Street. However, if you are planning to attend, you should be aware of a slight confusion regarding the exact date: some listings confirm the show for Saturday, May 2, 2026, while others indicate Sunday, May 3, 2026. It’s definitely worth confirming the date when you secure your tickets.

Logistically, doors are set to open at 7:30 PM. There is a mention of a 12:00 AM start time in some places, but given the evening door time, this is likely a simple typographical error. The format for the evening is listed as a STANDING SHOW, so prepare for a night on your feet. Komedia has set an age restriction for this event: it is open to those aged 14 and over, but anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Given the scale of the production and the venue, this is a ticketed event, so booking ahead is necessary if you want to catch this long-running tribute act.
