The first international tour dates of the 2020 tour have been announced today, and they will be in South Africa:

15 February 2020: Marks Park, Johannesburg
This will be the first time a-ha visit the African continent since they played in Senegal in 2006, and their first visit to South Africa since the Memorial Beach tour in 1994, when they did a six-date tour of the country.
Tickets go on sale on Wednesday 26 June at 10am. For more info, visit the website of promoter BreakOut Events.
More tour dates for next year are expected to follow soon, including “areas the band hasn’t visited since their 1986 world tour”, which would mean North America or Australia – or both. According to one report, the HHAL tour will continue until December 2020.
Update: To promote the South African dates, Paul has been interviewed by Texx and the City and radio station KFM 94.5 (audio).
