An ABBA tribute concert had fans dancing in the aisles of one of York’s most historic venues.
The event, held at York Minster on Saturday, August 1, was hosted by Ignite Concerts creator Alistair Griffin and featured classic hits from the Swedish supergroup performed live by Maggie Wakeling, Beki Ann, and a full live band.
Mr Griffin led the night as hundreds of music lovers gathered to enjoy a setlist packed with crowd-pleasers including Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, Waterloo, and The Winner Takes It All.
The combination of live music and candlelight created an electric atmosphere that had fans on their feet by the end of the night.
Elaine Hi, who attended the concert, said: "Thank you for a wonderful evening, so emotional and moving when Maggie sung Chiquitita then up beat and dancing in the aisles after the interval.
"It exceeded our expectations and more."
Another audience member described the night as an "absolutely magical evening."
Ignite Concerts will return to York Minster with a new event, Fairytale at York Minster, on Wednesday, December 16, 2026.
The festive show will feature more live music and memorable performances in the atmospheric setting of York Minster, continuing Ignite’s tradition of immersive musical experiences.
