Ending On a High Note: The Final Concert

It came to an end on 4 December 2010 when Norway’s capital city hosted a-ha’s final show. Exactly nine months earlier, on 4 March, a-ha had set out on their Farewell Tour, also billed as ‘Ending On A High Note’. The band had played South and North America, Europe and Asia. Even though farewells had already been said in their home countries, the audience at Oslo’s Spektrum included fans from England, India, Mexico, South Korea, the USA, Spain, Germany, Canada, Italy – every place where a-ha had touched people. Sub-zero temperatures weren’t going to keep anyone away.“We want to be part of this farewell”, said a fan from Seattle. “It’s always special to play your home town … there seems to be people coming from so many corners of the world”, noted Pål Waaktaar-Savoy.This was something special. But it was even more than that – the final show from the band that had found worldwide success in 1985. Twenty-five years on, a-ha had decided that it was over. “It was always an adventure”, says Magne Furuholmen. “It could have lasted two years, it lasted more than 25. No one can ask for more.” “It doesn’t kill the music”, says Morten Harket. “All three of us are still around. This is the end, but it is also a beginning. It opens doors up. But we don’t know what that will be”. Speaking to the Norwegian daily newspaper Aftenposten, Morten added “I do not feel any sadness. We end with victory.” But not everyone could make it to Oslo. There were only so many tickets. Thankfully, cameras were there to capture a-ha as they bowed out at the end of 2010.
