Roxette to record the Barcelona show for a live DVD

by
Per Gessle announced yesterday that Roxette’s concert in Barcelona on November 19th will be recorded for a live DVD. Here is what Per wrote on Roxette Official Facebook page:
It was just decided that the Barcelona show will be recorded for a glorious DVD-release down the road. Bring your banners!!!
The concert was sold-out by end of August and last week it was announced that the concert had been moved to a bigger venue, Palau Sant Jordi.

Additional tickets are on sale on these websites: Ticketmaster.es  | Servicaixa.com | Livenation.es and El Corte Ingles.

The Spanish Fanclub is also organising a party after the concert.
Palau Sant Jordi, DVD, party.. no excuse to miss this concert! It’s going to be a night to remember!

Party after the concert in Madrid and Barcelona? We need your help!

by

Roxspain, the Spanish Fanclub, is working to organise an after-concert party in Madrid and Barcelona to celebrate the return of Roxette to our country. The party in Madrid would probably be the day before the concert. The one in Barcelona right after the concert.

We would like to know how many of you would assist to these parties so that we have an idea what kind of pub or disco we should book for that.

Please  go to the events we created on Facebook and click on “YES, I will attend”:

Roxette to perform at German Radio Prize gala

by

According to Bayerische Rundfunk, Roxette will be one of the artists to perform at the German Radio Prize gala on September 8th, in Hamburg.

The information can also be found on the “Der Deutsche Radiopreis” website so we can say it’s confirmed. According to this website, Roxette will perform “live”. Marie reveals that they will play “Speak To Me” for the first time on stage.

As far as I could find out, it seems to be a “private” gala for invited guests only (media?), at least last year there were only 700 guests.

According to the report from last year’s gala, it was broadcasted by 26 radio stations at the same time (including web radios) and there was even a live video stream via internet. The show was then broadcasted on NDR TV (not live). Let’s hope this year the media coverage is going to be the same!

Update Aug 24 – some hours later:

Good news for all of us! I was just told that the gala will be broadcasted by

– 42 radio stations
– via internet on www.deutscher-radiopreis.de
– TV (after the gala, not live)

More information and details will be available within the next days.

The other concerts are on August 26th in Berns, Stockholm, and August 27th in Stora Teatern, Göteborg.

Helena mentions in her Facebook page that one of the concerts will be recorded by Swedish Television and broadcasted later this year.
