We were asked to share this clarification with you.
Clarification
The Swedish Market Court decided not to open the case Nojet / Live Nation vs. Biljett.nu regarding the right to sell tickets to the Roxette Concert in Halmstad last summer. Their reason being that the event had already taken place and the Court saw no reason to make a ruling in the matter.
They did not however, state that biljett.nu had the right to sell tickets, they just decided to not make a statement at all. Given the headlines in some Swedish media we want to make this clarification; no case, no winner.
As it was Nojet/Live Nation who initiated this case it is common law that the initiator has to pay for the expenses of the other party.
Oh yeah! BosPop was fab. An honour to share the same stage as Ringo & his pals. Edgar W turned out to be a fan. And thanks to all of you showing up and giving us all your support at this festival. Kinda different for us, we haven’t done that many f-vals throughout the years but it felt really good. Bright sunshine in our eyes, though….. and we thought the midnight sun was way up north….. A great day. Cheers, P&M

14. The Look
The duo opens with ‘Dressed for Success’ and the party called ‘Roxette’ is on. The audience has been in sing-along-mode all weekend and is at its peak during Roxette. Even during Joe Cocker and Ringo Starr there wasn’t as much response as during ‘Wish I could Fly’*. Roxette can relax today, the audience sings for them. Singer/guitarist Per says that ‘7Twenty7’ is his favourite song and you can only agree. A powerful song, but unknown for many. It sticks in your head though and is the most remarkable song next to their greatest hits. The last three songs are the real classics. During ‘Joyride’ balloons appear from the audience and the crowd seems to have a great time still. ‘Listen to your heart’ and ‘The Look’ end the sing-along set of Roxette, a band that should not have missed from the festival.
WICF wasn’t performed this evening 😉
Misc
The concert was part of the Bospop Festival. Over 25,000 people attended the festival. Nienke Griffioen informed on Facebook that Marie and Per was just in front of the stage during the Ringo Star concert, which took place just before Roxette’s one. No encore this time and it is the shortest concert on this tour so far. Marie wore “The Beatels” T-shirt during the concert.
Thank you dear Stavern-people! We had a blast, you were singing so loud Pelle’s earplugs fell out!!! Great show, Marie in top shape and no rust whatsoever on this band after 9 days off the road. Clarence and myself have a slight cold of some sorts but we loved it anyway. Hope to come back to this beautiful place! Sleep now. Cheers, P.

On July 8th, 1986 – 25 years ago – Roxette have released their very first single called “Neverending love”. It is a high time to organize some international celebration of this fact today and tomorrow..
RoxetteBlog Team highly recommends you to:
change your avatar to the orginal “Neverending love” single sleeve (other sleeves and pictures from 1986 are accepted as well)
tag all your post with @Roxette Official on Facebook and with @TheRealRoxette on Twitter
post a “Neverending love” video – it is up to you to decide if you want the “moonlight&tree” version or the one with tables 🙂
