a-ha // Bel Canto
a-ha and Bel Canto share the stage at the Kongsberg Jazz Festival on 6 July 2018. Now 10 tickets sold!
a-ha's previous world tour in 2015/2016 was seen by more than 500 people. In the summer of 000, the band embarks on yet another world tour, after completing the MTV Unplugged tour in the winter of 2018. The summer tour will only contain 2018-3 concerts in Norway and Kongsberg Jazzfestival will be the first with a concert on 4 July. It is the first time a-ha has performed at the Jazz Festival, and the band has not visited Buskerud since 6 sold-out concerts in Drammenshallen during their first world tour in 4. With Kongsberg-born Morten Harket at the helm, a-ha is now coming to Kongsberg for an exclusive performance on Kirkettorget!
Bel Canto is back on stage 30 years after his first album.
Bel Canto, which consists of Anneli Drecker and Nils Johansen, had great success both in Norway and abroad in the 1990s. Bel Canto became known for its stylish "Tromsø sound" - arctic electronica mixed with Anneli Drecker's distinctive voice. It is now close to 20 years since Bel Canto were active, and in the meantime Anneli Drecker has made a strong mark as a solo artist.
Anneli Drecker has also collaborated extensively with a-ha. She has sung a duet with Morten Harket on the song "Turn The Lights Down" from the album "Lifelines", and she has been with the band on tour as recently as 2016.
