A-Ha to take on the NIA
Wednesday 25th March 2009, 3:03PM GMT.
Eighties heartthrobs A-Ha are making a return to Britain after a four-year break, including a concert at Birmingham’s NIA.
The Norwegian trio – Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen and Paul Waaktaar – start their UK arena tour at the NIA on Monday, November 2, 2009.
Tickets cost £37.50 and £27.50 plus booking fees and go on general sale this Friday, March 27, at 9am.
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, Morrisey 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.
A-Ha will release their ninth studio album later this year.
