After a day off, the second Oz gig happened in Melbourne. Last time Roxette visited this city was in February 2015 on the 30th anniversary tour. Then they played at Rod Laver Arena, this time they performed at Margaret Court Arena next door. Since the show got sold out in July 2024, another date was added at the end of this leg of the tour.
Support act Boom Crash Opera went on stage at 7.00 pm and Roxette entered the stage after 8.15 pm.
Per, Lena and the band were in top shape, full of passion and they performed in front of 7,500 l.o.u.d. party people in the audience.
The only change in the setlist was that Things Will Never Be The Same was not performed and Wish I Could Fly got to TWNBTS’s spot before Vulnerable. Hopefully, when they come back to Melbourne to close the Australian leg on 18th March, the crowd can hear TWNBTS too.
