A-ha concert dazzles

EMMARENTIA – Thousands of fans enjoyed A-ha's Hunting High And Low live tour on 15 February.


It has been almost 26 years since nostalgic Norwegian synth-pop band A-ha visited South African shores in 1994.

That’s why thousands of die-hard pop fans eagerly made their way to Marks Park in Emmarentia to see these 80s music icons once again during their Hunting High And Low live tour on 15 February.

Some fans who had come from across Gauteng for the show, proudly waved their old records, scrapbooks and ‘I-heart-A-ha’ banners in anticipation of the event.
