New Roxette album Travelling entered official Czech album chart on #7. Although was realease date set to this Monday, album was already released last week in Thusrday. So only two days were enought for Travelling to jump on positin 7. FYI Charm School scored #1 and received Gold status in Czech Republic last year.
Additionally “It’s possible” debuted at #64 on German single charts.
The news seem to have been circulating for a few days now. It is however still not confirmed at this point.
We have received some messages from fans indicating that Roxette are to play at Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto on August 30, 2012. But again, as mentioned above, the date is still not confirmed and the information we could find was published on ticket reseller websites.
Per Gessle commented in Facebook some weeks ago that they would probably be in Canada end of August and in US in September (Articles no 1, no 2 and no 3).
We will post the official information and the link to the official ticket seller when we receive it from Live Nation. For now we can only recommend to wait a little bit and avoid super expensive reseller websites.
Roxette’s performance at Swiss SF1 show Benissimo can now be found on the Benissimo website (starts at about 2:00:00) or youtube (see below). Roxette performed “It’s Possible” in which seems to be the only TV performance to promote “Travelling”.
There was also a short interview on SF1 Glanz & Gloria
Jonas Åkerlund’s “Small Apartments” film had its official premiere on the SXWS festival in Texas last week. As for long-awaited soundtracked composed by Per Gessle – there is still not stiff release date. According to Gessle himself:
Nobody knows [when it’ll be out]. Chris is putting together the last missing bits as I write this. Mastering next. Release: ? – Cheers, P.
We will keep you posted once we know any details (or rumours).
