Sondre Lerche to open for a-ha in farewell tour US dates

Norwegian pop rock band a-ha are calling it quits after nearly 30 years. The band is most known for "Take On Me" from their debut album Hunting High and Low, but has released eight studio albums in their career, the last one released late last year. This tidbit is pretty old news. However the new news is that Sondre Lerche, the Norwegian pop rock crooner, will be opening for the band at their last couple shows in New York City at the Nokia Theater. It's oddly poetic as a-ha was Sondre Lerche's favorite band growing up (almost to the point of obsession) and he opened for them after his first album Faces Down went big, now he gets the proud honor of seeing his heroes off by opening for them during their farewell tour. It's bound to be an amazing experience so if you're in the area, go!
