Per Gessle has just answered fan’s questions on the Roxette’s Facebook page if the Colombian gig is cancelled . Unfortunately, he confirmed that.
Looks like the Col gig won’t happen this year. Some LiveNation issue I guess.
It is very likely that Chilean date will be included in the tour schedule between Quito and Lima concerts.

Voxy.co.nz informs that Auckland based synth-pop diva Zowie will support Roxette for their concert at Auckland’s Vector Arena on Saturday 11 February 2012, replacing Dragon who have cancelled due to scheduling issues.
Zowie’s debut single Broken Machine went Gold in NZ and her catchy electro chants have garnered much international attention. MTV Iggy (www.mtviggy.com) named Zowie as one of the Top 10 Best New Bands in the World, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton invited her to play at his One Night in Austin SXSW (one of the largest music festivals in the USA) after-party and the New York Times named her as the First Day Pick of the CMJ Music Marathon.
The single Smash It, released shortly after Zowie’s 11 date Australasian Tour as the opening act for Katy Perry, featured in the hit US TV show Pretty Little Liars. With just a handful of singles and a Bettie-Page-as-a-sexy-robot look, Zowie is poised to challenge the Ke$has and Gagas of this world.
“(Zowie) sounds like a mix of Karen O, Amanda Blank and Prince. She’s a bit of glam pop and a bit of dirty grunge. Check out the self-described ‘pixie’ from New Zealand… and discover why she’s been recruited to support the likes of Mark Ronson and Katy Perry on tour” – NME
Thanks to Celestte for sharing this news.
Peter Samuelsson has recently prepared a project for new Pelle Alsing’s drum kit for the Roxette’s World Tour 2012 and posted it on the Roxette Official Facebook page.

This new drum set will used for the very first time in Auckland, New Zealand in just 26 days!

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.
