Several members of the Roxette band and crew visited the fan party organized in Cordoba, Argentina on May 3. One of them was Christoffer Lundquist who played some guitar riffs to “She’s got nothing on (but the radio)” and “Listen to your heart” performed by Tiempos Dorados. A must-watch video!

After All Party 2 in Cordoba
Apr 18
“Roxette 2011 in Argentina” Facebook page together with The Real Roxers AC are organizing second edition of after concert party called “After All Party II: Touch by Hand of God” just after the show at Orfeo Superdomo, Cordoba, Argentina on May 3, 2012.
This year’s celebration will take place at Paris Lounge Bar, 853 Buenos Aires St in Nueva Cordoba neighborhood. Tickets can be purchased at therealroxers@gmail.com or cordobapostal@gmail.com
If you haven’t become a fan of the official TRAVELLING cover YET, so we collected several fan made ideas how the album cover could’ve looked like in parallel universes.
Would you like to share your vision of the parallel world? Send your projects to office@roxetteblog.com
As you may remember I did something similar back in 2009 with Party Crasher Tour’s tickets.
The idea is simple. We would like to collect all tickets from the 2011 tour. We would like to ask you to send us your tickets – at the moment we managed to collect almost all tickets from 2011 Roxette World Tour tour. As you see 3 more tickets are missing. Some pictures included belowe are low quality as well. So – if you want to send us something new or HQ, please do it at office@roxetteblog.com – thanks!
After many years as one of the biggest Roxette fan communities “Run To Roxette” announced the closing of it’s forums today:
Hi there,
Due to the growth of social networks, we’ll close the R2R forum on january 1st, so please save the messages, contacts and pictures that you want. We can keep in contact thought the Facebook page.Facebook fan page: facebook.com/RunToRoxette
Twitter: twitter.com/RunToRoxetteRegards,
The Run to Roxette Team.
The decrease of activity on the forums was clearly visible in the last months, when more and more Roxers concentrated their activity on social networks instead of the classical communities. After so many years it feels a bit sad though.
What do you think, can networks like Facebook replace the whole package of a dedicated fan community?
Thanks to Danilo Roxette for sending this through.
Vote for STM on SWR3
Sep 16
Ivan Kelava let us know, that you can vote for “Speak to me” single in one of the biggest German radio stations called SWR3. If you have a moment, just fill in your NAME, your CITY and that CODE down there. STM is on position 3 at the moment.
Thanks to Lionel Zaragocin for finding this one.
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”:
or answer this poll. Thank you!

Christoffer Röstlund Jonsson of Aftonbladet has had a pleasure to talk with Tanja Overrath a moment before the Gothenburg concert on 24th July. Tanja comes from Germany and has seen Marie and Per exciting number of 43 times – including gigs with Gyllene Tider and Per Gessle as a solo performer. She has met with the duo about 40 times, but when Aftonbladet meets Tanya and her friends in Gothenburg it is the first time she does it official. Previously, she waited outside hotels and airports.
Nothing compares to my relationship with Roxette. Their music makes me happy. I got goosebumps the first time I received a letter from Per. It was 1993 and he answered me with two personal sentences and two guitar picks. A newer favorite memory is when Marie went up on stage during his solo concert in Stockholm on 10th May 2009. A magical moment and I couldn’t stop the tears.
My parents did not appreciate that I played truant to go to gigs when I was younger. Today, my partner, who is also my boss, is very understanding – he wants Mr. Gessle to invest in his hotel!”

We bet there are people who have seen M&P more times than Tanja, but still – we do love read this kind of articles about fans who do nothing (almost 
but going on the Rox gigs.
We have found this interesting piece of news on the internet the other day…
The Swedish artist/athlete duo Look Sharp! – Peter Aberg and Viktor Gyllenberg – is touring the Midwest with a multi-faceted tribute to their homeland’s pop rock sensation, Roxette, which put out hits such as “The Look” and “Listen to Your Heart” in 1988.
Named after the Roxette’s classic album “Look Sharp!” Peter Aberg and Viktor Gyllenberg toss bowling pins, balls, rings and more while dancing and doing gymnastic moves. For one act they juggle with one hand each as they stand side by side. Think three-legged race. They also play guitar.
