Tour

After a few days off, London was calling. The gang played the OVO Arena Wembley.

The doors opened at 18:00 and Roxette took the stage a couple of minutes after 19:30 local time. This time there were screens on both sides of the stage. The concert was fully seated, but the audience couldn’t help but stand up and party and sing along loudly.

Many of the Joyride musical cast of Stockholm attended the concert. How cool is that! Why London? Oh well, they will be performing at China Teatern on both 4th and 5th December when Roxette comes to Sweden this week. Everyone seemed to enjoy the show to the fullest.

Sven Lindström was also there in the audience.

Chris played God Save The King as the intro to Joyride.

This was the only gig I had to skip on this tour leg, so I got a little help from a friend regarding the pics. Photos in the article are taken by Diego Carballido.

Per after the gig:

Wembley Arena! London! Wow! Such an amazing evening. Thanks so much everyone for innovative singing + dancing. Loved every second of it!!!

Lena after the show:

Thank you London!!! Wonderful night! I actually caught a cold the other day, so I had a little bit of a sore throat tonight…but everything went very well. Now I’m in bed, quiet, sipping on a nice cup of tea! Love!

Without a day off, the band travelled to Nuremberg to perform their last German show on this tour leg. The venue was the local ice hockey stadium, PSD Bank Nürnberg Arena.

This was the concert with the least hardcore fans so far and this way there weren’t too many people waiting outside the venue before the doors opened at 18:30. However, by the time Roxette entered the stage at 20:00, the arena was fully packed.

During the band presentation Magnus said he is happy sad. He is happy, because they go home for a few days, but sad, because they are leaving Germany. The crowd reacted with an „aaaaw!” The Germans were so good to them, Magnus said. Per agreed and thanked Magnus for his wise words.

Chris played Pippi Langstrumpf as the intro to Joyride.

The loudest crowd reaction was their sing-along to It Must Have Been Love after Lena dedicated it to Marie and the clapping along Christoffer’s intro.

Now a few days off for the gang to get ready for London and the last 6 shows of this tour leg. Mr. G can have some more ginger tea and get as fit as a fiddle during the next few days. It seems that he has been fighting a cold for at least the last two shows, but despite this he gives 110% energy and you couldn’t wipe the smile off his face while performing.

Per after the gig:

Thank you Nürnberg for a fab Wednesday!!!! And thank you Germany for an amazing tour. Lots of love everywhere! On our way back home for a few days now! See y’all soon again!

Lena after the show:

Thank you Nürnberg and Germany for this time!

The band had one day break and they spent it in Düsseldorf. Christmas markets and Kraftwerk – the city has a lot to offer.

Before the gig, the organizers met Per and Lena to celebrate their sold-out concert.

This was the only show that was fully seated in Germany, so fans arrived only late, closer to the start of the show. The concert was to start at 20:00, but a lot of people were still in the hall, taking their drinks and stuff, so with a little delay, the gig kicked off at 20:10.

The band entered the stage first, then Per and Lena, as usual, and it was amazing to see that right at the second when Per entered, everyone jumped up from their seats. And when I say everyone, I mean EVERYONE, on the floor and on the upper levels as well. Aaah, it was such a great feeling! And actually, everyone stayed standing during the whole show. During the ballads too.

Per greeted the crowd with a „Guten Abend!” and after introducing Lena, he asked her how she was doing. Lena’s answer was „Mir geht’s super!” and Per said „It’s Tuesday.” Lena said „yes, it’s Tuesday. Perfect! I love Tuesdays!” Haha.

During the band presentation Per asked Magnus how he was doing. He said he was doing great in the music city of Düsseldorf. They call it the Liverpool of Germany, they have many great bands and they have their own fab four, Kraftwerk. Magnus shouted „thank you for the music, Düsseldorf!” Per thanked for the history lesson.

Chris played Pippi Langstrumpf as the wild intro to Joyride, and it worked perfectly.

If I said it gets harder and harder to name the Top5 shows in Frankfurt, then what can I say in Düsseldorf…? Awesomeness on stage, amazingness off stage. Loud, dancing audience with some cool reactions and a lot of action on stage between the band members and Per and Lena. Yeah, I have to add this show to my Top5 too. Maybe even Top3! Haha.
