Oslo - Norwegian band A-ha that officially disbanded in 2010 were to reunite for a one-time performance in connection with a national memorial ceremony for the victims of last month's attacks in Norway, organizers said Wednesday.
The August 21 memorial was agreed on recently by government and opposition parties to commemorate the 77 victims of the attacks. The ceremony was also to pay tribute to survivors, emergency services personnel and volunteers who took part in the rescue efforts.
Public broadcaster NRK that is co-organizer said the memorial event at the Oslo Spektrum arena would last 90 minutes and include performances by artists Susanne Sundfor, Leif Ove Andsnes, Karpe Diem, DumDum Boys, and Sissel Kyrkjebo.
Members of government and the royal family were also expected to take part at the ceremony.
A-ha won acclaim for hits like Take on Me and The Sun Always Shines on TV.
Anders Behring Breivik remains in custody. He has admitted to planting a car bomb in Oslo that killed eight and a shooting rampage at a Labour Party youth camp that left 69 dead.
