I have got input from Hollies fans from several countries who are coming to the Oslo show in May. Looking forward to meeting you! The concert takes place in the best concert hall in Oslo, architecture- and sound-wise.

Ticket pre-sales start Friday 19th September 9 am CET (8 am UK time), there will be 1000 seats (no-one standing). For links see info on the Hollies tour 2010 site.

In fact Sentrum scene is a rock historic place in Norway. The venue used to be a cinema, and in 1956 when young people came for the movie "Rock around the clock", featuring Bill Haley and the Comets, a riot broke out. Being at the age of 6 at the time, I cannot be accused for taking part in that incident.

Ticket sales are very good for this concert, and there is still half a year to go. This is most certainly going to be a sold out night with an enthusiastic audience that for the most have not seen the Hollies since 1986. That was the last time the Hollies played in Oslo, at the Oslo Concert Hall. And we expect quite a few youngsters as well, fans recruited during the 24 years that have passed.

Hello everyone, I see there are still tickets available for this concert in Oslo (checked billetservice.no). Noting that the tickets are for un-numbered seats, does anyone know if it's "first come first served" i.e. arrive early, get good seats, or how that works at this venue?

You are very welcome to Oslo!

The seats are based on a first come - make your choice - system. So I advise you queue up at least an hour before the doors open if you want to sit up front either downstairs or on the balcony.

Ticket sales are very good, it is expected the show will be sold out early next year. So do not wait too long before you decide to go.

The Oslo show was mentioned on Norwegian national radio today, and Carrie Anne (which was in fact written in Norway in 1966) was played as one question.

You may listen to the program here:

If you see several dates and 28.11. does not start automatically, click on that date.

Anyone coming to the Oslo show a bit early might like to consider seeing Ultravox on Friday evening one week before at the same venue as the Hollies play on Saturday 8.5. They are not my favourites though.

Except Vienna, that is a grand song.

On Friday 7. May a girl called Veronica Maggio sings at Rockefeller. I have not heard of her before.

Since the Oslo show 8th May sold out so quickly, and lots of people took contact and asked for tickets, it was decided to run a second show, which is now selling.

I was getting rather worried with all flights cancelled in the UK last week because of the volcanic ash situation that we may not be able to get to Oslo.

It is getting back to normal now so we should be ok.

See you there.

Yes, Carrie Anne and John, I was getting a bit worried, as well. But it seems the air flight authorities may have overreacted, new policies have been released so now we will have a much more graded system of flight restrictions, and finally the volcano seems to have calmed down. I am glad this did not start at the beginning of May.

So everything seems set for a couple of great nights with our favourite band. The second show is selling well, too!
