Yahoo in its entertaiment section used four Reuters’ photos of Roxette from New Wave Festival 2009 taken by Ints Kalnin from Latvian Entertaiment photo agency. One more photography from yesterday’s opening night was found on Reuters website.
One of these pictures was used in Expressen’s article about Roxette’s comeback, but in a little different edit.

The first video of Roxette’s performance at the New Wave Festival in Jurmala is online. The quality is rather poor but still good enough to tell that both Marie and Per obviously had some fun together! When Marie arrived in Riga she told the TV crews that she wants to “have fun”. You can see that HERE, fast forward to minute 27. According to several websites they played four songs – Listen to your heart, It must have been love, The Look and Joyride and it seems that at least Joyride was either live or recently new recorded as it sounded different to the album version from 1991.
Three TV-stations are going to broadcast the opening night of New Wave Festival from Jurmala in Latvia.
– Latvian TV5: New Wave Festival blog: 17.50-18.00 (+02.00 GMT), Red carpet: 18.00-18.30 (+02.00 GMT), Concert: 18.45-21.50 (+02.00 GMT)
