Come on a musical journey with Swedish pop sensation ABBA as they take over 1970s Britain in this one-of-a-kind exhibition.

Led by a personal tour guide and the voice of narrator Jarvis Cocker, we take you through nine immersive rooms exploring the music, lyrics and lives of one of the world’s most unforgettable bands.

Get close to never-before-seen items from the band’s archive including personal notes, memorabilia and iconic costumes. Chart their rise to fame and lasting legacy; from their early pop explosion onto the British music scene, to chart-topping international stardom.

Taking on 1970s Britain, in the midst of a financial crisis, a wave of strikes and a three-day working week, ABBA were a breath of fresh air, dominating the airwaves with their upbeat anthems channelling positivity and optimism.

ABBA: Super Troupers is presented by Southbank Centre in partnership with Entertainment Exhibitions International AB, in association with ABBA The Museum.

Following on from the phenomenal success of Transfigured Night, Danish choreographer and two time Olivier Award-winner Kim Brandstrupcreates a new work for Rambert.

In the same room, many decades apart: a woman incarcerated, presumed mad; a boy experiencing the world through his computer screen; a theatre group discovering a 400- year-old Spanish play with surprising relevance today.

With stunning imagery from filmmakers the Quay Brothers, a symphony orchestra playing the rich music of Witold Lutosławski and dramatic, lyrical dancing from Rambert’s brilliant ensemble, this is a rich retelling of the 17th century play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Life is A Dream.

Brooklyn dance-rock heroes LCD Soundsystem headline the Friday night of the All Points East Festival.

When James Murphy called time on the first chapter of LCD Soundsystem at the height of their powers, their farewell concert film ‘Shut Up And Play The Hits’ became an iconic document of one of the best live band’s in recent memory. Thankfully this wasn’t the band’s swansong and since reforming for select shows and their enormous, critically acclaimed comeback album ‘American Dream’, they have once again rightfully established themselves as a force to be reckoned with.

Joining LCD Soundsystem on Friday the 25th of May are fellow New Yorkers and indie-rock icons Yeah Yeah Yeahs returning to the UK for a captivating trip through their acclaimed back catalogue, Parisian kings of sultry pop Phoenix, plus many more.
