A-ha has announced 3 new farewell tour dates for the U. S. and Tickets go on sale Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010 and Friday, February 5th, 2010. A-ha also has dates scheduled in Spain and Denmark. The band will play 2 dates in New York and 1 Date in Los Angeles.

A-ha recently decided to call it quits after the success of the “Foot of the Mountain” album. According to the official A-ha community, the band stated, “We’ve literally lived the ultimate boy’s adventure tale, through a longer, more rewarding career than anyone could hope for.

Doing this now will give us a chance to get more involved in other meaningful aspects of life, be it humanitarian work, politics, or whatever else – and of course through new constellations in the field of art and music. We are retiring as a band, not as individuals.”

The band will also not be producing anymore albums in the future. 2010 marks the 25-year anniversary of a-ha’s multi-platinum debut album Hunting High & Low The bands single ‘Take On Me’  become a number 1 in 27 countries worldwide, including the USA.

Norwegians Pal Waaktaar and Magne Furuholmen, formed a-ha in the early ’80s, later on joined by Morten Harket. Among their eight top ten singles are, “The Sun Always Shines On T. V.” and the 80’s anthem, “Take On Me”, A-ha’s video, which used groundbreaking techniques to meld real life and comic book like animation, received massive airplay on MTV. This solidified them as mega-stars and a-ha’s album “Hunting High And Low” hit the top 10 in U.S.

A-ha’s pop-synth sound made them a staple in the 80’s. The band has planned this Farewell tour to end with a bang.  The last concert will take place in Oslo on December 4.
