This is what we found on Roxette Attack website:
According to Thomas Johansson from Live Nation, there are no plans to include South America on Roxette concert schedule. Marie Dimberg from D&D Management claims there will not be any Roxette tour in 2010, only 5 concerts arranged on some Summer Festivals in Scandinavia and Russia.

According to an article on Rogalands Avis, tickets for Roxette concert in Norway, which takes place on August 21st, sell like hot cakes on the very first day. In just 30 minutes over 3,000 tickets were sold and up-till-now over 6,000 tickets were bought by Norwegians. 1,000 VIP tickets are also gone. According to various sources, there are 8,000 – 10,000 tickets altogether available.
Roxette will play on Smukfest (also know as Skanderborg Music Festival). The festival will take place between August 4th and 8th in a beech forest in the vicinity of Skanderborg. It has given it the name “Denmark’s Most Beautiful Festival” (Danmarks Smukkeste Festival). Roxette is the second international artist that was revealed today – British Placebo also will be there.
According to Smufest’s press release there will be two gigs in Sweden. I do not know if it’s a mistake or a typo.
In 2009, Skanderborg Festival was held for the 30th time and is today the second largest festival in Denmark after Roskilde. The festival gatheres more than 45,000 people for the concerts, including 8,500 workers, most of them volunteers.

D&D Management confirmed the dates for two Roxette concerts today. The shows are in Russia and these are the dates:
September 10 – Moscow Mega Sport Arena
September 12 – St. Petersburg New Arena
Per Gessle also sent a short message to The Daily Roxette confirming the dates and hinting at more shows to come:
It feels fab to start the new year announcing live concerts by Roxette. Both Moscow and St Petersburg should be great fun! And if we’re all lucky there’s even more to come. By the way, the new recordings are going great, we’ll continue sweatin’ it out for the next six months or so. You’ll find videos/pics from the recordings on Snowfish.
Cheers, P.
A Russian ticket site has already listed both Roxette shows.

No fishing in the snow..
Feb 18
The following text is a personal blog entry, done by me and me only. Since we’re a blog and not a news page, there’s some editorial going on from time to time. This text is not necessarily the opinion of my fellow Roxettebloggers. So if you want to bash us for getting a life, a new hobby or stop complaining and whining: address your comment to me, and me only, please.
MySpace is dead, long live MySpace. I never liked that platform very much. Much too messy, too many designs which make you close the site before you had a close look at the content, comments everywhere, images without further comments in all sizes and forms everywhere on the page and at the top of the page on the right a small box with audio or video files. This was the only reason to visit a MySpace page in my opinion: to get to know an artist by listening to his songs or watching his clips and afterwards to decide if it’s worth to buy a whole CD or just a song or nothing. The only problem for the artist was that he didn’t earn anything with having a MySpace site. All he got was the chance to provide his music and stuff and to find more fans – but still: no money.
Now we got a fish in the snow and this fish wants to change that. The concept is called “Snowfish” and comes from Sweden. It’s actually a bit like MySpace, artists, musicians and every fan can register a site, upload images, include a Twitter feed and offer videos to watch. This site isn’t as messy as MySpace, but still it’s everything you would file in “chaos”. There’s a beta version online already since last year’s summer and still there are so many bugs on this page, that you don’t feel a second like visiting this page. Ok, I must admit – the structure of this page is slightly better than it was on MySpace and yet there’s another reason this site is different to MySpace: the artists can earn money with it. The more traffic you have on your page the more money you earn. So it’s said on the Snowfish homepage:
At Snowfish, every single view, listen or read of your content earns you payment (50% of advertising income received from your traffic!). These payments may be small at first (pennies) but ultimately pennies add up!
So it’s obvious that it can’t be much the artists actually get, but for those, who are not famous, not rich or just too bad and need every Cent, Dollar or Euro it’s a concept which can be profitable as time goes by. The more traffic, the more money.
But now it really would be nice, if the creators of this page would work on it which means: make it less messy, make it more user-friendly. So far this is not the case. Best example for this is Per Gessle’s new Snowfish page. He’s uploading videos and pictures from the recording sessions of the new Roxette album these days. And when we take a close look at the front page of his site it looks like there’s 22 videos to watch so far:
It seems like the circus around the sale of Roxette’s tickets for show on Anderstorp Raceway will never end.
According to Swedish Radio Biljettnu.se’s CEO Hans Haraldsson was not very happy with The Race Legends’ decision to include Eventim.se and LiveNation.se as the new resellers of Roxette tickets. Now Biljett Nu wants to receive compensation for breaking the deal as they thought they bought exclusive rights for this particular concert.
The Race Legends did not want to comment on that issue and Urban Stamming said that he thinks it is an unnecessary discussion.

The Daily Roxette also informs that there is no need to worry – Biljettnu.se tickets are still valid.

The very first pictures and clips from Chris’ studio in Scania were presented.

Grtgs fr ze studio. Day and nite #3! Just had a grt dinner by ze fire in Chris’s hse. His wife shd open a Michelin-rest! Back to work y’all!
This morning we could hardly find the studio. Serious amount of snow in the south of Sweden, folks. Are we human or are we dancer?
Had to take a 45 min walk w/ Clarence last nite, In 10 in of snow! At 3AM in the morning! I had a flashlight. Clare had a smile on his face.

Did some recordings at MP’s brand new Tits&Ass studio. Very cozy, great vocal-sound, nice coffee.
You are already planning your trip to Anderstorp in August and you want to know who else will be there? Join the “I’ll be there – Roxette in Anderstorp 08/14/10” group on Facebook. Let’s share our feelings, plans and hopes for this special night.
(UPDATED, 16.21 CET): According to biljettnu.se the audience will be allowed to enter the event area at 17.00 CET (which either means we’re talking about two different stages or a re-organization of the so far known schedule for this day):
So, we have two different kinds of tickets – concert-only tickets for 650 SEK which can be bought at biljettnu.se and 3-days-race-tickets including the concert for 850 SEK which can be purchased at theracelegends.com
Then we have a schedule with the stage program starting at noon. Until now many of us didn’t know and wondered how the entrance will be done since the owners of a 3-days-race-ticket can of course join the stage program starting at noon which is also included in the ticket. So as far as I know a lot of fans already bought the full package for 850 SEK just to be sure to stand the closest to the stage.
Thanks to Yana who sent a mail to the CEO we now know that everyone – no matter which ticket for the concert you have – has the same chances to reach the front row:
There will only be one type of ticket to the Roxette concert, regardless of if you have race ticket or a concert ticket.
The stage is located in the event area and there will only be standing tickets. No special tickets for close to the stage are available.
Both those who have a race ticket and those who have a concert ticket only will be forwarded in to the stage area at the same time.
So, the questions change from “how and when do we get in?” to “How does this work when there’s actually artists on stage performing before 17.00? Are there two stages, more entrances? And how do those with the 3-days-ticket get in to enjoy the stage program during the day?
