8,000 in the audience. Helena spoke Polish few times during the concert as her mother-in-law comes from Poland. Per did his Polish “thanks” (dzieki) with a good effect. Marie Fredriksson hold Polish flag for a moment during the first encore. Magnus mentioned the Polish brand Tyskie as the best beer in the country.

The Daily Roxette (the concert review)
Some months we wrote about the album “Swedish Hitz Goes Metal”, which was released in May 2011 and includes metal covers of the biggest hits written by ABBA, Roxette and Ace Of Base.
We received an email from Niclas Eliasson with the link to their newly released video to “The Look”.
You can read more about the band and the album in this Facebook page.

Gold for Roxette in Cologne!
The Swedish superstars Roxette now added another trophy to their phenomenal career as part of the successful tour in Germany: The comeback album “Charm School”, released by EMI Music Germany and Starwatch Entertainment that managed to hit directly the first place of the German charts in February, sold over 100,000 copies since then. Last Thursday Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle received the Gold awards in the eve of the Cologne concert. The popularity of the Swedish duo within the German fans is visible in the impressive chart success of the latest album as well as the top ten hit “She’s Got Nothing On (But The Radio)”.
Uli Mücke, Vice President New Music of EMI Music Germany, is delighted: “We are very happy about this successful comeback of the sympathetic Swedes, with whom collaboration is simply fun. Moreover the journey of this album is still far from over.” Hans Fink, CEO of Star Watch Entertainment, adds: “I am very pleased for Marie and Per. “Charm School” is a fantastic album. It’s great that the German fans are as excited about it as we are. Congratulations!” After the sold-out Open-air concerts in June Roxette will continue with a large arena tour in October 2011.

Oh Cologne! What a night!!! Great gig indeed. Super duper crowd and Marie in top shape. Broad daylight but it didn’t matter – we had a blast! Thanx a million everyone for showing up! How many were you? 11000? 12000? More? I dunno, doesn’t matter, we had a field day. Woohoo!
