World Tour 2011: Roxette has landed in Tallinn

by

Roxette was going to perform in Tallinn on March 18, but the concert was cancelled due to Marie’s illness. New date was picked up – July 18th. Roxette landed in the Estonian capital yesterday and was welcomed by several photoreporters and fans. By the way, BoJo has finished his Metallica project and is back with the Rox gang again!

Per has left few words on the Facebook page on that:

Nice dinner in Tallinn. Walking the streets, saying hello and taking pix with friends and fans. Having a good time. Now it’s time for bed, super show tomorrow, right?

Misc

Pargas is a Swedish name for the Finnish Parainen. It seems it was one of the most interesting venues on this tour – in the old mine lime. Per has to cancell all interviews before the concert as he was suffering sore throat – thankfully he felt much better on the concert day.

The concert was organized on the city market as a part of the few-day festival Moon & Stars. 12,500 tickets were sold for the concert. Marie grabbed Italian flag at the end of the concert – but as the gig took place in Switzerland, some might find it controversial.
