a-ha to perform in Berlin on August 14th
a-ha will perform two songs at the opening show of the World Championships in Athletics in Berlin on August 14th.
This is in connection with "Foot Of The Mountain" being chosen as the official song of the Berlin championships, which is held from 15 - 23 August. The song will be used as background music every day during all the events, which are being broadcast to 190 countries across the world.
"This is fun for the guys. Nothing is like big sport events, you know. And I guess the World Championships in Athletics is the biggest sport event this year, when there's no Olympic Games", a-ha manager Harald Wiik tells VG.
Britta Ostermann of Universal Germany says: "The Championship organizers contacted us, and we suggested a-ha's "Foot Of The Mountain", which was already doing well in the German singles chart. They felt that it was a good and fitting song."
VG also reports that the album has now reached gold status in Germany, selling more than 100.000 copies so far.
