Trivia
16,000 visitors in the arena!
Media are really interested in summer Roxette concert that will take place in Sundsvall on August 7th. It will be the first full Roxette gig since 2001. According to the press release it will be the first European Roxette concert. It can mean there is no chance for any other show before August 7th.
After several articles in local press, over 9,000 tickets sold, Norrporten Arena’s website got the new look – only dedicated to forthcoming summer festival. You can read the most important information regarding the festival: find media partners and sponsors, buy tickets for the show, bus, train or book a room at one of Sundsvall hotels and hostels.
There is also a chance to win tickets for the festival as long as you can decribe your most exciting Roxette experiance in Swedish – before May 1st. The winners will be announced on Monday May 3rd. No informations is given if only Swedish citizens can participate in this contest.
In “Örongodis” section you can listen to two radio advertisments of the concert (the longer and the shorter one).

According to Musikindustrin‘s journalist Lars Nylin Roxette will play in Germany in December. In the article about Sundsvall concert he mentions Russia and Germany as the exemples of forthcoming Roxette shows. Time will tell if it is true.
From The Daily Roxette:
Per says that he doesn’t know anything about any German gigs.
According to Swedish media, and confirmed to Roxette’s manager Marie Dimberg, Roxette will play in Norrporten Arena, Sundsvall (Sweden) on August 7. The organizators exepect around 20,000 in public. This will be, if no more shows are added to the tour, the real first Roxette concert since 2001.
Tickets will be on sale on April 23 via Ticnet. The support band will be German The Baseballs, known from their Elvis-covers of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and… Roxette’s “The look”.
It seems like the information in Norwegian and Danish press about two gigs in Sweden are finally confirmed.

Chrissi Schäfer and Eloy Mathesan contributed to the article.
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.
