Rumour: Roxette to play in Poland in 2012

by

We are all waiting for the new date of World Tour 2012 to be announced. So far we know about shows in New Zealand, Australia, China (Hong Kong), Taiwan, Indonesia, Singapore, Colombia, Argentina and South Africa. The only European shows (so far) are going to take place in Great Britain in July and one corporate show in Sweden in August. Now it seems like the new annoucement is somewhere on the way. Polish ticket retailer www.eventim.pl in its Ticket Alarm included Roxette on the first place. It usually means that the mentioned artist will play in Poland in the next several months.

Hopefully Roxette will announce more dates for the first half of 2012 in the next couple of weeks. A perfect Christmas present? You bet!

Update: Per has just announced that there will be major release on South American dates on December 9. We were also informed about possible German concert on June 30. Oh yes, 2012 sounds as exciting to Roxette fans as 2011.

Roxette is in Kiev now (Don’t belive in what media writes)

by

Roxette arrived to Kiev, Ukraine yesterday on December 5, 2011. It’s the second time this year where the duo will play a concert in this city. It’s also the final World Tour 2011 gig before next step in New Zealand in February 2012.

Ukraine media reports about “extra-ordinary” requests from Roxette’s side, which turns out as standard and totally unsuprising to those who know what the tour live means. Additionally, journalists inform about group’s will to inspect the audience for video recorders or even cell phones – according to Potok.ua all sort of recording equipment is forbidden. And if people bring significant number of such devices, the concert may be even cancelled – yes, don’t belive in what papers write.

Update: It turned out that Roxette came in the rox jet on the concert day – I told ya, check your sources!

Marie Fredriksson on TV show about Sanne Salomonsen

by

Marie Fredriksson appeared shortly on the  Danish TV show “Her er dit liv” (Here’s your life, DR) greeting Sanne and wishing her a fantastic night and ending the message saying she misses her so much! Sanne gets very emotional and talks a bit about what Marie has been through in the last 10 years, as well as herself and how they have both fought their way back to life.

If you want to see it, follow this link http://www.dr.dk/nu/player/#/her-er-dit-liv/24628 (Marie’s clip is in about minute 30, the video is available only until 1-1-2012).

Thanks Stina for the information!
