a-ha to play at Skanderborg Festival August 10th in Denmark

a-ha is among the latest names that were confirmed for this year’s four-day-long event. The band will hit the main stage at 23h30 and is scheduled for a 75 minute set.

The band will play at Bøgescenerne, the main stage that hosts the biggest names and international artists. About 18 people have access to this ‘twin stage’.

Skanderborg is in Jutland, the Danish ‘mainland’ that shares a border with Germany. The city is located at a lake, along the E45 highway, between Kolding and Aarhus. There is also a train station, and a regular bus service (every ten minutes) between the station and the festival site. Additional information on public transport and time schedules will be published at the festival’s website in June.

The lineup for the 10th of August is:
1130-1230 Creamy
1315-1430 Allan Olsen Band
1515-1630 Ash
1715-1845 Erann DD
1930-2045 Morcheeba
2130-2245 Wheatus
2330-0045 A-ha
