Norwegian pop trio A-Ha have announced details of their final tour, including a date at the Trent FM Arena on November 21.

Despite the commercial and critical success of their latest album, Foot Of The Mountain -- a UK Top 5 -- Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy will dissolve the group at the end of the tour in December.

"We've literally lived the ultimate boy's adventure tale, through a longer, more rewarding career than anyone could hope for," they said.

"Doing this now will give us a chance to get more involved in other meaningful aspects of life, be it humanitarian work, politics, or whatever else.

"We are retiring as a band, not as individuals. Change is always difficult and it is easy to get set in one's ways. Now it is time to move on."

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the group's debut album, Hunting High & Low.

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday from the venue, call 0871 2200 260 or visit www.gigsandtours.com
