USA fans getting ready for Roxette’s visit: fan meeting, contest and more!

In less than two weeks Roxette will be rocking the Beacon Theatre in New York. This will be the first concert out of four of Roxette in USA and a group of six Roxette fans are preparing some nice events to celebrate and enjoy the party together.

These fans have created a group in Facebook where they share and organise everything.

Here is an overview so you don’t miss a thing:

– “The Big A.” – Fan meeting in New York before the concert. Meeting point is Boat Basin Café at around 6 p.m. EDT. More information in this event here.

– Contest to win a Meet&Greet with Roxette in one of the 4 shows.  Six contests have been set up (ie create banners, take pictures of your collection, create a piece of art…).
Check this file out for detailed information on how to participate and win!
Note: it’s for USA citizens or residents only! RoxetteBlog will be the jury in one of the contests.

– The Roxette in North America T-shirt! The team has designed a t-shirt for the occasion, which could be ordered by anyone interested. You can see the design here.

More events may show up the next days.

Thank you Miedy Bishop, Adam Bishop, Lana Sachse, Jennifer Malcome, Marc Tannen and Kemerly for organising all this! See you next week.

Roxette tour dates in USA:

September 2, Beacon Theatre, New York
September 4, House of Blues, Boston
September 14, The Nob Hill Theatre, San Francisco
September 15, Gibson Amphitheatre, Los Angeles

Tickets available at Ticketmaster.com

Just rumours: no new (Roxette) songs with Jonas Isacsson in the end

In case you are wondering, there is some information spread in Facebook which seems not to be true.

According to the fan, Jonas Isacsson told in an interview broadcasted on Sirius Radio on August 14 that Per Gessle has recorded three new demos. Jonas explained that the songs are “for sure” for Roxette and that he was called to play the guitar base for these songs because Christoffer was busy touring with Roxette.

See what Jonas said about this:

Update, August 17: We contacted Jonas and he disclaims the report:

I have not done an interview for sirius radio, and I don’t know anything about 3 new songs. I’m afraid it’s all made up.
