Great news Great promotion for them too I hope.

[Milly]

That's excellent news, thanks Sandra

[Caterina]

This is definitely great news!
These guys at the IAAF are men of taste

[nicola]

Cool! and I like the reference to a-ha as a 'cult' band

[Jakob]

a-ha will perform at the opening show in front of Brandenburger Tor in Berlin on August 14th.

They will play two songs, including FOTM. The second song hasn't been decided on yet, but the organizers want them to play TOM, according to VG. I guess the guys don't have the balls to demand another song instead of TOM, but I would be happy to be proven wrong.

Wow that's amazing news! Thanks for sharing, Sandra.

Proabably a big crowd then,...

[Caterina]

a-ha performing at the opening means lots of viewers around the globe

[timbersound]

will a-ha performance be shown on tv, either german or english channels?

[Caterina]

I guess several channels around the world will broadcast both the opening ceremony and the events.
All I can suggest is check your local TV schedule

Edit:
since this is an international board posting here channels covering the event(s) may be useful to all of us
