Roxette will play in Kiev on December 6

by

MyTeatr.com reports on the very successful Roxette’s concert in front of 5,000 people that took place in Kiev in March this year. Even if there is no confirmed date, this article clearly states that Roxette will play in Ukraine for the second time this year. It is very likely that St. Petersburg won’t be the last concert this year – making December 6th (as our August rumour stated) one of the final stops of the World Tour 2011.

Update September 23: We have a poster for the concert – so yes, December 6th is a fact now.

Thanks to Evgeny Perekopskiy for this information.

SWISS interview with Per Gessle

by

If there is something you did not know about Per Gessle, so now you have a chance to get to know him a little better. Manuela Gretener, Manager Inflight Entertainment at SWISS International Airlines, had a chance to talk with the Man. Here are the most interesting answers.

Have you got any favourite locations where you love to perform?
Roxette have been very lucky to have super crowds all over the planet. There are no ‘bad’ places for us to perform. However, if I should pick one particular place it has to be South America. Those guys and dolls over there are very loud, most generous and totally crazy. Adorable.

What are your most favourite destinations?
I love the Maldives, I love St Tropez, I love New York. I love South Beach in Florida. I love Italy. There are more.

What do you always bring with you while travelling?
Obvious things. Credit cards, ID, cell phone, pictures of my family, a decent iPod and a smile on my face.
