a-Ha premiere "Shadowside" video for Germany as 2nd Single...World Tour taking shape

a-Ha premiered the 2nd single in Germany with the "Shadowside" video, the UK market will get "nothing is keeping you here" video and single very shortly as the second single there. Third and fourth singles look to be "riding the crest" and "Bandstand". The band will play dates in the UK in November including their first ever o2 dates, Russia and poland will also get shows, with returns to Germany and Norway to finish out the year. 2010 looks to see a-Ha's venture into a part of the world not toured by them in a long time, Canada and America, as of now it looks to be March, with a 25th Anniversary "hunting high and low" re-issue in the works. South America will also get a MAJOR tour, home of the biggest concert crowd ever played 192,000, set by the band themselves.

The band has been doing alot of UK press, various shows, performances nonstop to keep the record strong, both new singles were remixed and re-recorded for the single release, "Shadowside" ending with a classic Morten high note, coming close to his "summer moved on" note.

But they're like a one hit wonder from the 80s. How are they getting this much play?

at least they are moving, why shouldnt it be detailed and acknowledged, dont we have enough threads on artists that dont record anymore or phone in their new albums, or thinnk that a new best of collection is "new work".
