Roxette In Concert 2025 – Bimbadgen, Hunter Valley – 15th March 2025 – #9

by

This weekend is all about wineries. There are two A Day On The Green events planned on tour. Bimbadgen, Hunter Valley was first today.

13 years ago, Roxette played here at the very same place and closed the Oz leg in Hunter Valley. The Bimbadgen name stems from the local indigenous language meaning “Place of Good View”. The ones who went there to see the concert definitely had a good view and a fab time at the show.

The gates opened at 3.30 pm, Boom Crash Opera went on stage at 4.05 pm. Jon Stevens was back to perform at 5.30 pm and Roxette entered the stage after 7.00 pm.

The setlist got a bit shorter vs. the previous gigs. Opportunity Nox and Stars were off the list, so altogether 18 songs were played.

Setlist

  1. The Big L.
  2. Sleeping In My Car
  3. Dressed For Success
  4. What’s She Like?
  5. Crash! Boom! Bang!
  6. Fading Like A Flower
  7. Things Will Never Be The Same
  8. Vulnerable
  9. Milk And Toast And Honey
  10. She’s Got Nothing On (But The Radio)
  11. It Must Have Been Love
  12. How Do You Do!
  13. Dangerous

Roxette In Concert 2025 – Hobart – 13th March 2025 – #8

by

Show No. 8 on the Roxette In Concert 2025 tour happened in Hobart. Hobart is the capital and most populous city of the island state of Tasmania, Australia. This is the first time Roxette performed here and the gig was held at MyState Bank Arena.

Norpan had to play borrowed drums, because it would have been impossible to fly his gear to this spot. Not sure if other instruments were also borrowed for the show. -> Update from Daniel Rezmann: “The band and crew carried a few as carry on luggage between Adelaide and Hobart. Per used his BB King Lucille Gibson 335 and red checked accoustic. (No blue checkered.) His red Gibson Trini Lopez was replaced by a red Gibson 335. Christoffer had his regular Epiphone Casino. And maybe his 12-string acoustic. Otherwise he also used a black or blue Gibson 335 and black or blue Fender Telecaster. (I thought blue for both, but they look black in my pics.) And I believe his lapsteel was his own (that appeared to be the shape of his hand luggage). Jonas only used a black Dusenberg. Magnus looked to be normal.”

Support act Boom Crash Opera went on stage at 7.00 pm and Roxette entered the scene after 8.15 pm.

Roxette In Concert 2025 – Sydney – 8th March 2025 – #5

by

No day off after the Melbourne show, the gang travelled to Sydney. In February 2015 Roxette did two concerts there, one at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt, the other at Qantas Credit Union Arena. This time they performed at ICC Sydney Theatre that was dressed for success for the show with its digital façade.

Support act Boom Crash Opera went on stage at 7.00 pm and Roxette entered the stage after 8.15 pm.

The crowd in Sydney had to do their best to beat the audience of the first Oz gig on this tour and they were indeed loud when singing along to all those amazing Roxette hits. And the band? They get tighter and tighter by every show!

The setlist remained the same as in Melbourne, so Things Will Never Be The Same was not played tonite either. One change was that Vulnerable is now not sung as a duet, but it is sung by Per. As he says under the backstage rehearsal video: “Going back to the original idea of “Vulnerable” with me singing both verses. That’s how it was written. Feels good.” Fabulousness!!! Keep it as it is forever, Per!
