Earlier this week Side-Line was the very first non-Norwegian news outlet to announce that a-ha had reunited and that this would be announced on March 25th via a press conference in Berln. That press conference at the Norwegian Embassy in Berlin is now finished and just like we reported, a-ha have announced their return to the spotlights.
Present were Paul Savoy, Morten Harket and Magne Furuholmen. The trio also released some specific details during the press conference. A new a-ha album, "Cast In Steel", will be released this fall to be followed by an international tour in 2016. "Cast In Steel" is the follow-up to 2009's "Foot of the Mountain" and will be out September 4th 2015, 3 weeks before the band plays at Rock In Rio in Brazil and 30 years after their first single "Take On Me" reached the number 1 spot around the world.
Surprisingly, it's Alan Tarney, the man who produced a-ha's first 3 albums, which has now produced "Cast In Steel".
a-ha will hold 15 concerts next year - 13 in Germany, in addition to one in Zurich and one in Vienna. Currently no other concerts have been announced though it's pretty sure that more will follow. These are the first tour dates which have already been announced Germany:
