Multi-million selling Norwegian trio A-Ha have announced that they will perform together for the very last time in the UK on their farewell tour which plays the LG Arena on Friday 19 November. Following a fantastic international career spanning 25 years, in excess of 35 million album sales and 15 top 10 singles in the UK alone, A-Ha’s Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy announce that they will perform their final shows together in 2010, the anniversary year of the release of debut album ‘Hunting High & Low’. Riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed current album ‘Foot Of The Mountain’, A-Ha have decided to ‘call it a day’ and as a consequence will not release any future albums. In the mid 80’s the Norwegian trio created teenage hysteria and general pandemonium wherever they went. In recent years the focus has shifted to the musical legacy they will leave behind, inspiring a whole generation of artists as diverse as Coldplay and Keane to Kanye West, Oasis, The Strokes, Robbie Williams and U2. In 2006, the band received the ‘Q Inspiration Award’ in honour of their lasting musical influence. 2010 marks the 25th anniversary of A-Ha’s multi-platinum debut album ‘Hunting High & Low’ and debut single ‘Take On Me’ which reached number 1 in 27 countries including the USA.
