The Live at Sunset festival stage in Zurich

a-ha will be playing a concert in Zurich, Switzerland on 17 July, as part of the Live at Sunset festival. This according to the festival’s website.

The concert will be held at the Dolder Eisbahn – a large outdoor ice-rink. a-ha last visited Zurich in 2002, on the Lifelines tour.

The regular ticket sale for the New York and Los Angeles concerts started on Ticketmaster today, and due to “extremely high demand” a second date in L.A. has now been added on 16 May, a-ha.com announced. Pre-sale on a-ha.com now, with Ticketmaster following tomorrow.

I was searching through the Google News Archive the other day when I found a concert that isn’t listed anywhere online:

29 September 1986: Masonic Auditorium, Toledo, USA

There is a review of the concert from the Toledo Blade newspaper here, so it definitely happened. I have now updated the 1986-87 tour page with this “new” date.

The clothing designers in Moods of Norway have posted a picture on their blog of themselves and Hugo Opdal with Apparatjik in Berlin on February 1st. Apparently they will be launching a special Apparatjik clothing collection in Norway in April. Their spelling could use some improvement, though…

And singer Elisabeth Andreassen has posted a picture on her blog of herself and Morten with British/Norwegian group A1 at the concert for Haiti on January 24th.
