World Tour 2014-2015

Which Roxette songs would you like to hear live? #12 and final!

by

rox-rehearsalAs soon as we got to know that Roxette would embark on a world tour this year we started a poll for all of you to choose those songs that you would like Roxette to play live – and haven’t been played live at all or not for a (very) long time. We have run 11 polls since May!

This week, Per and Marie and the band started rehearsing for the tour, which starts this month (! time flies, huh?) in Vladivostok (RU) and, if everything goes as planned, will last until 2016! Per posted this picture and this message on Facebook today:

GREETINGS FROM THE REHEARSALS! WONDERFUL day today. Great to see all the guys and dolls in the band + crew. We’re on a roll! More to come, watch this space! /P.

So we now decided to run one more poll. This time we have selected the Top 3 of each poll (except 5 for the last poll with more songs), in total 35 songs and we would like to ask you to choose 2 of these songs – which ones are your favourite? Or would love to hear live? The poll will run until the end of this week so hurry up!

Which Roxette songs would you like to hear live? #10

by

Roxette_tp_white_bgAs already mentioned (even though with some delay – sorry!) here’s the poll to choose from the singles and hits (at least those that were not included in the previous polls!).  This time you can choose up to 3 songs.

At the end of the article you can see the results per album so far. In one week we will have the last poll with some – let’s call them – rare tracks like b-sides or demos but also songs that were released on greatest hits (for example “June Afternoon”) or as single tracks (“It Must Have Been Love”, “Almost Unreal”).

Thank you for participating!

Roxette announce another world tour for end of 2014!

by

Indications for another Roxette tour just got confirmed on Roxette’s official website and Facebook page. Read the following info:

ROXETTE – BACK ON TOUR 2014!

So now it’s finally official – Roxette are ready to embark on yet another world tour this year! It has been two years since one of Scandinavia’s biggest pop exports ever ended their sensational comeback World Tour 2011-2012. A tour that took them around the Globe twice, playing for 1.5 million people in 46 countries on 6 continents! And now it’s time for Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle to bring their string of much loved hits to the world once again.

Roxette’s fantastic come-back started with the release of the hit album ”Charm School” (2011) with the No 1 single ”She’s Got Nothing On (But The Radio)” and during the first leg of the world tour, the album ”Travelling” was recorded and released 2012. In December last year the blu-ray/dvd/cd ”Roxette live: Travelling The World” was released.

Since the last tour ended, Marie and Per have been working on their separate Swedish careers; Per with his former band Gyllene Tider who did a massive Swedish tour last summer on the back of a brand new No 1 album. Marie released her first studio album in Swedish in 8 years and is currently ending her first, highly praised, solo tour in Sweden since the year 2000.

This year marks the 25 anniversary of Roxette’s world wide break. The hit single “The Look”, from the album “Look Sharp”, reached no #1 on Billboard US Chart in the spring of 1989 and that was the start of one of the world’s biggest and longest pop careers. Their first Billboard No 1 was followed by three more; “Listen to Your Heart”, ”It Must Have Been Love” and ”Joyride” and their albums have sold well over 75 millon units to date.

And so the Roxette joyride continues and their next world tour kicks off in Russia 2014 [RXB: of all places…]. Come join it! Dates and places will be added as we go along but here are the first ones:
