Pure Bliss for 15 000 Roxette Fans in Bulgaria’s Capital Sofia
Fifteen thousand Roxette fans traveled from all parts of Bulgaria and neighboring countries to watch Sunday night the Sofia gig of the Swedish duo, Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson, part of their long-anticipated world tour.
The crowd went wild as Gessle’s guitar and Fredriksson’s voice were able to produce the same quality of music that they first shared with an adoring world more than 20 years ago.
“Speak to me” single is released!
“Speak to me” vinyl single was released on Wednesday, May 25th in Sweden. We can finally provide you with some photos of the cover and vinyl itself. Unfortunately, EMI Music did not pay enough attention to proofreading process and instead of correct “original” we got “orginal”, which makes the single really “orginal” item in your collection!
If you have not purchased your copy yet, do it via Bengans.se!
Thanks to Petra Osifova.
World Tour 2011: Athens, Greece – May 27 #28
Around 4,000 people attended the very first Roxette concert in Athens, Greece. As there was heavy rain this day, many people decided not to attend the gig. “Way out” was skipped for the second time this week (hopefully the last!!!) and thanfully there was no rain during Roxette’s performance.

“The best band our fans have ever seen” has a word!
We proudly present the Brazilian questionnaires that RoxetteBrasil.net did with all the band members during their stay in South America. All them responded promptly and personally commented their answers during the flights and hotels. A big hand to Dany Etchart who sent us this interview!
CHRISTOFFER LUNDQUIST
ROXETTE BRASIL: It is your first time in Brazil. What are your expectations?
Well I would admit since I don’t know much about Brazil, only from school, my expectations are very normal, warm climate, friendly people, different culture, etc. But already after two days I blow away by the friendliness, hospitality and warmth we’ve encountering. I love it here – already. And the audience reaction – wow…!!!
RXBRA: What are your biggest musical influences?
60’s and 70’s rock and pop music like The Beatles, The Who, Rolling Stones, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, etc etc. I seem to be especially close to music made between 1967 and 1973 for some reason, almost everything from that period seems to hit a chord with me. But I listen to lots of different music, classical music, I love opera, etc etc. There’s sooo much great music to discover.
RXBRA: How does it feel to be part of the Roxette world today?
Oh, it’s an honor, a privilege, an adventure, an education, and on a personal level it’s about doing fantastic things with your friends… it’s unbelievable really, what can I say?
RXBRA: How did you meet Per? (Was because of Brainpool) And Marie?
Yes, my band Brainpool was the first band Per signed to his Jimmy Fun label in 1994. And three months later we’re supporting Roxette on their “Crash! Boom Bang! Tour”. That’s how I met Per and Marie and on that tour I also became great friends with Clarence. Then Brainpool was asked to play on a couple of tracks on “World according to Gessle” and after that just stayed, I guess!
RXBRA: Soooo Christoffffffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerr, say something for Roxette Brasil website readers!
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SO INCREDIBLE NICE, WELCOMING AND FRIENDLY TO US!!!!! I badly want to comeback to Brazil now, I love it so much here already! Thank you all!!!!
