Evi from Italy Has Seen A-ha Live 146 Times | VGTV 2010 [ENG/PT/JP/RU + Subtitles]

Published on December 4, 2010 by VGTV, this feature tells the story of Evi, a dedicated fan from Bolzano, Italy, who has seen a-ha perform live 146 times between 1988 and 2010.

Her journey began as a teenager in 1988, when she secretly travelled to her very first a-ha concert and spent the night at a train station afterwards — an experience that marked the beginning of a lifelong connection to the band and their music.

As an adult, Evi continued to follow a-ha across Europe, the United States and Brazil, choosing to prioritise concerts and travel whenever possible. She even learned Norwegian and lived in Oslo for a period while studying, building a deeper connection to both the country and the culture that shaped the band.

In this clip, recorded during a-ha’s farewell week in Oslo in 2010, Evi visits the National Library where she finally meets Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen, and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, giving each of them a personal farewell gift before the band’s final concert.

Her story is not about obsession, but about gratitude, identity, community, and how music can accompany a person through life for decades.
