September 14 this year is both Morten’s birthday and a-ha’s 30th anniversary. To celebrate the occasion, Morten will perform a solo concert at Sentrum Scene in Oslo! This will be Morten’s first full solo concert in Norway since 1997.
Morten’s concert will kick off the weekend’s celebrations for a-ha fans. Tickets will go on sale to the public on March 17 via Billettservice. However there will be a fan pre-sale on Monday – more details on this below!
Official photo book and exhibition
Norwegian photographer Stian Andersen has been working with a-ha since 2000, and his photos have been used for cover art, promo shots, posters and more. Stian toured extensively with a-ha during the ‘Foot of the Mountain’ and ‘Ending on a High Note’ tours in 2009-2010, and is publishing a photo book in fall 2012.
This long awaited official a-ha photo book is expected to be released on September 1. In addition to the book release, there will also be a photo exhibition taking place at Stolper + Friends gallery in Oslo from September 1-16.
The book will be available to order directly from Press in Norway. Fans can choose to have the book shipped to their homes, or they will have the option to pre-order the book and pick it up when they visit Oslo for the 30th anniversary weekend – and have the book signed by Stian as well at a special signing session!
The photo book will be about 320 pages, in hard cover and printed on very high quality paper. It will be the same size as The Swing Of Things book from 2010.
There will be more information about the book and how to pre-order in the coming months.
