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

Aftonbladet: Tanja has seen Roxette 43 times
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.
Athlete duo Look Sharp! to tour US
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.
