Live Nation Australia & New Zealand: more news on the way?

by

As our Australian reader – Celestte Thistlethwayte informs – Live Nation Australia & New Zealand is posting on the We Want Roxette to tour Australia Facebook page that there is more news on its way. Certainly they will not add more dates as the down under tour’s schedule is very tight. It might be meet & greet opportunity, DVD recording or… well, we’re only guessing 🙂 All should be known on Sunday morning.

World Tour 2012: Second date for Sydney

by

This news has just appeared in our mailbox. According to Daily Telegraph…

SWEDISH pop sensations Roxette have answered the call of their Australian fans and will perform a second Sydney Entertainment Centre concert on February 16.

Per Gessle said he and singer Marie Fredriksson had been stunned by the demand for tickets to their first Australian show in more than 15 years.

“The response to this whole tour has been crazy,” Gessle said. “We couldn’t really believe it when we heard the Sydney show had sold out because it has been so long.”

(…)

Tickets for the new concert go on sale on August 29.

Rumours have it that additional dates for Melbourne and Perth will be announced this weekend.

Thanks to Evgeny Perekopskiy for this information.

This is all they have announced at present however the response has been quite incredible. Once they hear how things are going we’re hoping they’ll consider visiting other cities – we’d certainly like to take it further than the one show planned at the moment!
