After two shows in Germany, the Roxette gang reached the Netherlands and performed at the Hello Festival in Emmen last night. They were scheduled to play between 20:15 and 21:25, so we already knew it wouldn’t be a full-length show.
It was the same short setlist as in Hanover, but this time there was no thunderstorm, so there was less rushing through the songs and a little more talking between the hits. The band members were introduced as well.
Both the band and the audience caught Saturday night fever and turned the show into an energetic and loud party, both on and off the stage.
The crowd was very mixed, but so was the lineup. A hip-hop act played before Roxette on the main stage, while Bruno Mars and The Beach Boys tribute bands performed on another stage. Young and old alike could find something to their taste.
Christoffer played Deurdonderen by Normaal as the intro to Joyride.
