21 April: Palace of Sport, Tyumen

The tour may start in South America in February/March, but those dates have not been announced yet.

18 April: Novosibirsk, Russia
20 April: Omsk, Russia

New dates / Morten in Classic Rock Magazine

The July concert at Clam Castle near Linz has now been confirmed by a-ha.com. The first of the Russian concerts in November has also been officially confirmed:

16 July: Clam Castle, Linz, Austria
09 November: Olimpiysky Arena, Moscow, Russia

 

There was an interview with Morten in a recent issue of Classic Rock Magazine, where he talks about discovering his “prog heroes” Uriah Heep in the mid-70s.

Heep meant everything to me in those years – on records like Magician’s Birthday, Demons and Wizards and, of course, Wonderworld, their songwriting was so very good – and I still feel the same way“, Morten says.

A scan of the magazine feature can be found on the official Uriah Heep website here.

 

And Brazilian fan Alek Quissak has made a video tribute to the band and wanted me to post the link: http://www.vimeo.com/10329859

There you go, Alek.
