Jul 18
We got update from Per Gessle himself:
Nah, tomorrow will be around 15000 ppl. But hey, that’s a lot of Rox-heads!!!!!! It’s gonna be a gas!
…and yet another comment
just heard almost 20000 tcts sold….
…and one more…
Landed in Cluj, Hey, it’s proper summertime here! We like that! Hi to everyone waiting at the airport + the hotel, sorry – no signing or pix this late. See y’all tomorrow. Looks like it’s gonna be big bigger biggest. 20-25000????
According to various sources the Cluj-Napoca stadium is ready for 30,000 people during the Roxette’s concert on Thursday, July 19. The ticket sale is good with Golden Circle tickets being sold out for few weeks now. It will be the second Roxette concert ever in Romania and it will be probably one the biggest crowds Roxette have had on this 2011-2012 tour. Will it beat last year’s Copenhagen concert at Tivoli?
Here below you can see the Roxette stage being built.

If you didn’t have opportunity to see Roxette live this years, you have to be prepared they are better than the last year. Here’s a proove – recordings of the whole Dublin concert from July 9 done by DeesyCom.
Torsten Dettlaff published on his website a high quality recording of the Birmingham Roxette concer that took place on July 6, 2012.
He decided to record it with a portable DR-100 recorder. The results are actually pretty good – as he write on the website. You will find a download link there as well. Unfortunately, “Dressed for success” is sadly missing.
Cover for this bootleg done by Roxette Cafe.

For the very first time in a very long time Opportunity Nox was performed on the concert as well as Silver Blue dropped from the setlist. Spending My Time – instead of being first song in the encore section was just after “The Big L.”.

Argentinian Gente detras de las paredes website has released the very new and of decent quality video bootleg from the Roxette concert in Buenos Aires that took place on Tuesday, April 24, 2012.
It was the first of five live Roxette show in Argentina – including cities of Mar del Plata, Neuquen, Rosario and Córdoba. Two moments during the Buenos Aires gig deserve a higlight – the very first performance of “It’s possible” during this tour and surprising local tune played by Christoffer Lundquist – “De Música Ligera”. More unforgettable moments only on this special fan-made DVD.
Big thanks to Oscar Antonio Cordoba for making this bootleg available.
