A-HA - Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen and Paul Waaktaar are back with an arena tour in November 2009 coming to Birmingham NIA on Monday 2nd, Manchester MEN Arena on Tuesday 3rd and London O2 Arena on Wednesday 4th.
The band last toured the UK in 2005 to over 60,000 fans in support of their return to the Top 10 with the single Analogue and the album of the same name. In the same year they played the Live 8 concert in Berlin, made history in Oslo with 120,000 turning up to their Frognerparken show and were awarded the prestigious Q Magazine Inspiration award at a star-packed London ceremony and had everyone from U2, Coldplay, Morrissey and Keane citing them as influences on their career.
Analogue also marked exactly 20 years since a-ha topped the Billboard Hot 100 and conquered the pop globe with Take On Me, before setting out to show that was merely the top layer in a complex and sophisticated collective.
A-ha will release their ninth studio album later this year.

Thank you for sharing. Wish I had the money to travel to the UK for the show (s). :0( However, I will have to wait until they come to the U.S.A., unless I have an unexpected inheritance before then. I wish we had dates etc...for the tour here...it would feel much more real. But, alas, patience is a virtue. God bless!

Great information Anne... hope everyone will read your comments.
Can't wait to see them in the USA next year. I have heard that the album FOTM & the single should be released over here shortly. I understand that FOTM is just now starting to get some radio air play in Los Angeles. I am so excited for these wonderful men... I pray that Universal gets behind them and promotes the heck out of the new album & A-Ha's return to the states to tour.
