a-ha-live.com is an unofficial fansite, based in Norway, which offers updated news and info about the three members of the Norwegian band a-ha.

a-ha was formed in 1982 in Oslo, Norway by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, Magne Furuholmen and Morten Harket and is still a touring band after 40 years, even though the band took a few years off between 1994 – 1998 and 2010 – 2014. Parallel to a-ha, its members have continued to stay busy with individual solo projects within music and visual arts.

Paul has a second band called Savoy, Magne is a solo artist and part of the art collective Apparatjik, while Morten has recorded several solo albums – the latest called Brother was released in 2014.

In 2015 a-ha released their 10th studio album Cast In Steel, followed by a 2015-2016 tour of South America, Russia and Europe. 2017 saw the release of their critically acclaimed live album MTV Unplugged – Summer Solstice. In 2018 a-ha went on the road again, starting with a series of MTV Unplugged concerts and continuing with the Electric Summer tour in Europe.

In 2019 a-ha started a big world tour celebrating their first album Hunting High and Low, but it was put on hold in March 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In March 2022 the tour finally resumed, eventually ending up at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on 31 July, the 70th concert of the tour.

A new a-ha studio album called True North, recorded with the Arctic Philharmonic, will be released in October 2022.

a-ha-live.com is maintained by Jakob Sekse. I’ve been an a-ha fan since 1985 and have attended 53 a-ha/solo concerts over the years. In 1997 I started posting news about a-ha on the internet, and in 2009 I launched this website. I can be contacted on Twitter or via e-mail.

A special thanks to all the fans who have shared links and news items over the years!
