Was a fantastic concert as expected,i wish that time could of stood still it was over before i knew it
was nice to see pal moveing around quite a bit,am glad morten took his glasses off. can’t belive this is it but thanks for all off there music and especially for doing there live at the local five years ago,what an experience xxx
What a fantastic night! I had a nightmare getting there as airport closed due to crash just before I landed so diverted to Manchester,then mad coach dash to Brum but the gods were smiling on me as I arrived 2 minutes before the band came on!!! Morten was as gorgeous as ever and they all look great for 50′s!!!! Great set but I would have liked a bit more conversation from the band.
Many thanks for 25 years of fantastic music,I will remember and sing it always.The music has followed me through life from 15 year old girl to 38 year old mum of 5,but all my kids are fans too!!!! I will miss you all so much but you need your own time now.
God bless and taak!!!!
Wow, what can I say, yet another fantastic gig! I too had fun getting to Birmingham but all the stress was more than worth it! Hard to believe that it’s all over and so very sad too! How ironic that the first time I saw you guys when I was 15 was in the same venue as i saw you for the last time, now a 38 year old mum of 3! My 9 year old son saw you last year, with me in Birmingham and begged me to bring him again! Scoundrel days was fantastic and Butterfly, Butterfly was just sooo moving. Take On Me was bittersweet as it meant the end and even made me cry! Thanks for the last 25 years, I will continue to listen to your music and pray that you will have a reunion one day…… Please…..X
What a show!! I first heard Take On Me when I was about 7 yrs old and have been a fan ever since but have never had the chance to see the guys live before, so I made sure I managed to go this time…..biggest regret now….I wish I’d seen them live more, was amazing!! Living Daylights was fab with Magne getting the crowd going and thanks to some huge gesturing by a group of us to get Morten over to block A, in which he obliged and took a bear off a little girl next to us, it made it more special. Very emotional and very very special. Will miss the music and a lovely, friendly, down to earth group of guys….good luck with your new adventures and take care xxx
I went to see A-ha at Birmingham L.G Arena and what a fantastic night. The guys were on top form and i enjoyed it! I am the mom of the little girl (Rebecca) who Morten so nicely came over to take her bear so thanks the the lady above who helped us to encourage Morten to do come over to that side of the stage it absolutely made her night so was sooooooooooo happy
. I’ve loved A-ha since 1985 have been to so many concerts i’ve lost count, but each one has been amazing and enjoyable. I’m gonna miss A-ha so much it feels as a huge part of my life (ever since i was 13)has come to an end
but i will never foget that A-ha made my childhood the best ever so thank you so much to you Morten, Magne and Paul your music will always continued to be played in my house and blasted in my car
and your wonderful music will be sadly missed by me and every other A-ha fans heart you have touched you will always live on in our hearts <3. If ever you miss us fans we will always be here if you ever decide to come back Long live A-ha and thank you from the bottom of my heart love you always xxxxx
San xxxxxxxx
What a fantastic night! I have grown up with a-ha over and the concert at the LG Arena covered great tunes from the whole period. Loved Take on Me but felt very sad that I will never hear it live again..
Thank you for the music over the last 25 years, will keep listening xx
All i can say is OMG WOW..The boys were fab.!Like ANNIEH(above) i had not seen them live..what a bad mistake..I am so glad i saw them this time though Just a shame they are going on to do different things..
But i wish them all the luck for the future… <3
No frills, no gimmicks just pure A-ha. Absolute magic! Thank you for the memories and the soundtrack to my life. Will keep on listening and enjoying the music – it never grows old!
This was my first A-ha concert , even though I’ve been a fan since ‘Take on Me’ was released & I’m so glad I finally got to see them live at last, even though it was for the last time.
The atmosphere was amazing, & it was fantastic to hear my favourite songs live, especially ‘Summer Moved On’ , which showed Morten can still reach those long, high notes!
The acoustic version of ‘Butterfly’ was a highlight for me & was better than the single version I thought, they totally blew me away & especially loved the final song ‘Take on Me’ which got everyone up singing & dancing!
Also, when A-ha were settling into their acoustic set & a girl in the crowd shouted “Sexy Bastards” , that was so funny & made everyone laugh! It was the best concert I’ve been too in a long while & one I won’t ever forget!
By the end of this year the band will be gone, but their wonderful songs, will always live on!
Morten, Magne & Paul, you will be missed!
Another great show guys!Thanks.xx
Really starting to sink in now that it is nearly the end,just hope that morten will come over and do a tour with his music,but will live in hope that they will at some point get back together in the future? shame it has to be over and that they could’nt of just had a long break. Thank you so much for 25 fantastic years,all of my childern love your music,especially my 20month little girl. thanks for the brill concerts x x x
I found this concert wonderful but sad at the same time.looking for the whales!! Random shouts of “We love you”! Special memories-thanks A-hax

Fantastic concert in Birmingham-one of their best, saving the best till last eh? Almost had me in tears to ‘Butterfly’ so beautifull as acoustic version, Morten’s voice as beautiful and strong as ever, and also when the book of memories came on screen. Wish I could be there with you for that final gig in Oslo – don’t think they’ll be a dry eye in the house! Wishing you all the very best for the future and thank you so much for 25 years of awesome music. x x x x
Wow, what can I say the past 25yrs with your music in my ears. This night I shall remember forever it took me back to when was 13yrs old and I was wishing I had a timemachine ( even though you all look good now )my 13 yr old daughter came with me and made it a memorable evening, even she said it was sad to see the end of such a fabulous band. Good luck in all you do and I know I will be keeping a close eye on your further adventures. Thanks again xxx
I was at the Nov 19th concert in Birmingham as always it was a wonderful event although sad that it would be my last A-ha concert…Good luck in the future Morten, Magne and Pal, You will be missed.
Guys, I was 10 when I first heard your music & had your posters pinned to my walls! I was lucky enough to see this one concert. I only wish now that I had managed to get to others, as it was a totally fabulous evening that went by far too quickly. I stood by the front of the stage gazing at you all and had the time of my life. You are all fantastic and I sincerely wish you the very best in your next projects. THANK YOU Morten, Magne and Paul. xxx
