POPULAR eighties band a-ha will be heading to Liverpool as part of their extended UK tour.

The Norwegian band added four extra dates to their highly anticipated Hunting High and Low tour after selling-out this year's November dates.

Magne Furuholmen, Morten Harket and Pål Waaktaar-Savoy will be performing in An Evening With format, with an interval at M&S Bank Arena on Wednesday, November 11, 2020.

For the first half of the show, they will perform a selection of new and old tracks including Take On Me, Train Of Thought, And You Tell Me plus Here I Stand And Face The Rain.

Pål said: "We played the full Hunting High And Low album live once before and that was a great experience.

"There’s not one song on that album that we’re not looking forward to playing live.”

The tour has been timed to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the release of the original version of “Take On Me” – issued in the UK on 19 October 1984 to reputed sales of just 300 copies.

The re-recorded “Take On Me” was released in Britain during April 1985 to little fanfare, and in America that May where it hit big after its striking promotional video was seen on TV. It was reissued in the UK that September and, finally, the British hit came. The Hunting High And Low album was on sale in America in June 1985, and in the UK in October 1985.

“Recording Hunting High And Low was such a defining moment and an exciting time in our career and joint collaboration,” stresses Magne.

“So revisiting this body of work now – more than 30 years later – feels like inspiration rather than obligation. I just need to dust off the old synths a little...”
