Additional tour dates in Germany in Autumn!
Live Nation has sent out the first dates of the additional dates which will be added to the Roxette World Tour 2011. The dates are, so far, for Germany and Spain (already known) only.
“The concerts have been great so far,” tells Per Gessle. “Marie and the band are in top form and the response of the audience has been incredible. And it is also great that the new album has been received like this. We are very happy and look forward to this exciting year!”

Information about ticket sales in Germany is still not available.
In addition, apparently Live Nation Spain has cancelled the Golden Ring tickets which were announced last week, so currently only the normal tickets (49 EUR) are listed on the website.
More dates to come, hopefully in other countries and Stockholm too! For the complete tour agenda so far, visit our World Tour 2011 page!
Update: Tickets for Germany will go on sale this Friday, March 18 at 9 in the morning.
A short note about releases: The interest in the countries where “Charm School” hasn’t been released yet is very high. However, the album won’t contain the same track list in all countries. For example, China has forbidden Roxette to release “Sleeping In My Car” due to the sexual content. Therefore the live version of this song, which is included in the Deluxe version of “Charm School”, will be excluded.
Roxette World Tour to be continued in 2012?
Per Gessle was interviewed by ZDF yesterday and this is one of his quotes:
If we’re lucky I think the tour will go on next year as well. Because it’s a big world and there seem to be a lot of opportunities for Roxette. People seem to have missed us, which is fantastic.”
P.S. Roxette was a trending topic on Twitter yesterday!
Prague show almost sold out
Today the Czech ticket webseite Sazkatickets opened the last sectors – the last seats – for the Roxette show. While the standing tickets are already sold out, there’s also only 2.300 seats left. With a capacity of 18,000 people the hall is almost sold out.
