21+1 concerts all around Sweden, taking a turn to Norway and Finland as well, 27 Per-penned songs played live in this or that form, 8 most talented musicians giving at least 120% energy each night on stage, more than 120000 loud fans of all ages having fun off stage from at least 25 countries, a tireless crew setting up everything perfectly for each gig, 2+1 great support acts, 2+1 lovely surprise guests. All this resulted in having uncountable wonderful memories of Per Gessle’s En vacker kväll tour! Unbelievable that this journey is over, but visst var det en vacker sommar!
After Mr. G’s beautiful words he posted when the Swedish part of the tour ended, I thought I would collect some thank you notes from as many ”international adorable friends” as possible. Some of them travelled thousands of kilometers to Sweden to see at least 1 or 2 shows, others attended more concerts and there were even a handful of hardcores who saw almost all shows.
Take this , as well as the international friends’ words below as a HUGE THANK YOU for the whole tour! It goes to all involved on and off stage!
Sooooo, här kommer alla ”thank you” notes på en och samma gång!

Thank you very much for the fantastic evening and the great experience. I was really happy to be there. And I like the songs you played very much. For me the highlights are the duet with Lars Winnerback and Sommartider. It was a beautiufll night. Thank you very much, from the Netherlands”

Great to finally hear the new songs live and very refreshing to hear the “oldies” in a new style, with special mention for the addition of Malin-My’s violin and Ola’s pedal steel guitar. I wouldn’t mind seeing and hearing some more of that in the (near) future!”

Sara H.: ”When Per Gessle announced his 2017 summer tour, there suddenly was hope all around. It felt different – a good different. The band got updated, the genre got a little twist and Per Gessle gave a very heart-touching approach to things. The tour didn’t only turn out to be musically magical – it was another chance for fans & old friends to catch up with one another and just have a great time, together. I was in Borgholm & Malmö, and my my Per, you’re loved and admired all over the world, you know?”
Poland

Spain
Judith S. (RoxBlog Team): ”It was the first Per summer tour that I joined and loved it!! For me it started with the “live preview” at Leifs, already then I realised we were in for a treat. I loved the combination of songs, slow and fast, Per solo, GT, Roxette, and the new arrangements. There were too many favourite parts for me to mention here, actually, after my first concert and knowing which songs come when, more or less, I was looking forward to all moments in the show. I think I would like to mention the songs where Helena was singing, which she turned into very special moments. It was also great to see the rest of the known faces in the band as well as the new ones. I think they all gave the songs a fantastic touch. I really look forward to the 2nd album of this “vacker” concept/project, and would love for more concerts to take place, maybe in a calm (=theatres) setup.. but hej, here I am, asking again. Let’s go back to the thanks. Thank you for the magical evenings that I had the pleasure to spend listening to the awesome band and great Per!! You rock!!”
Mariana Gumuzio: ”I must confess that I didn’t like the idea of listening to Roxette songs live again knowing that probably we will never hear Marie singing them again, but as I told Helena, that feeling changed completely after the first song. The way you all treated those songs made the shows even more special! I loved ‘It Must Have Been Love’ version it sounded different, fresh and great! I hope you repeat this kind of shows in the future! Thanks to all of you for the incredible work you’ve done and I hope to see you all again in the future. Mariana alias ‘txiqui’, from Spain.”
Marta Artesero: ”I just want to say “thank you” for this tour which has been amazing!!! You all do a great job up on stage. I had so much fun together with my magic friends!! It’s always so great to travel around our loved Sweden following you. I had met many nice people because of that. Wishing to have more adventures like this! You are the best! ;)”
Rosa Planas & Alex Usero & Caridad Ortega & Estanislao Parczewski: ”Thanks for another great tour! We really enjoyed listening to this new band during the shows. We had lots of fun singing along with you some of our favorite songs. We hope to see you soon again around the world in the future!”

Adina Engström: ”Thank you Per and band for the creation of such lovely music and for the opportunity for me to share this with you and my friends.

Det har verkligen varit “En vacker sommar” med många skratt och knasigheter både innan och efter konserterna. TACK!”
Eliza Öberg (Poland): ”Tack för en fantastisk sommar! Det blev 18 underbara kvällar för min del, inkl. smygspelningen och Allsång på Skansen. Tack Per för att du skriver så bra låtar! Tack till det eminenta bandet för att ni levererar inte bara musik utan även en bra show. Utan er underbara publikkontakt skulle konserterna inte vara så beroendeframkallande. Tack till Åsa för alla filmer och värme som du sprider! Och ett stort tack till alla fans, både de som jag träffade för första gången och de som är gamla vänner. We’re all magic friends!”

Erina & Jimmy: ”Dear Per! Your songs have always been the best soundtrack to my life. I can honestly say that a lot of wonderful things would never have happened to me if it wasn’t for your music. And this summer tour was extra special for me: I attended gigs with my friends as usual, but I also got to share this amazing experience and emotions with the man that I love (and he has become a fan, too!) Thank you and your great band for this magic! Hope to see you again soon!”

Nico Radoi: ”En vanlig tisdag sitter Per
På en dejtingsajt och ler.
Ler mot folk som dyker upp
För att samla dem ihop.
Två tjejer och fem killar
Dejtar han och äter sillar.
En kan sjunga, en kan dansa,
En från Hongkong med Lufthansa…
Gammal kompis måste med!
Svarta handskar t.o.m.!
Lappland ska Per inte missa,
Annars funkar inte visan.
Sist och absolut minst gör
Att alla i publiken hör.
Vi tackar er för denna sommar
För ni uppfyllde våra drömmar!”
Olle Rydqvist: ”Var på din konsert i Borgholm tillsammans med min mamma och en av mina äldsta vänner Elin. Vi kom till köområdet väldigt tidigt, och som den lyckans ost jag är fick jag nr 50 på handen hehe. Sen väntande och väntade vi. Line up efter lind up Och tillslut efter mycket om och men fick vi komma in i ruinen och resten är historia. Vilken jävla kväll. Elins förväntningar höjdes likt Burj Khalifa under kvällen och jag var helt tagen. Regnet märktes knappt och det märks inte att du nyss fyllt 28! Tack för mer än en vacker kväll!”
Paula Cafiero Högström (Argentina): ”Kära Per och hela fantastiska bandet!!! Tack för fyra vackra och oförglömliga kvällar i Helsingborg, Göteborg, Borgholm och Malmö!!! Bland gamla goa vänner alltid, med alla er på scen… i eminenta Borgholm – en dröm (ännu en!) som gått i uppfyllelse … och med min fina familj i Malmö!!! Tack!!!! Många nya minnen etsade i hjärtat och själen för evigt. TUSEN TACK!”
Sanna & Mimmi: ”Tack alla i bandet för att ni gjort den här sommaren magisk! Vi fans har levt vårt egna turnéliv parallellt med er med långa körningar om nätterna, tält och köande. Blod, svett och tårar men mest av allt en fantastisk glädje och kärlek varje gång vi stått där framför scenen och bara fått känna känslan av att finns till. Hoppas vi ses snart igen, vilket håll ni än går så följer vi med!”
Åsa Florholm: ”Som sjukskriven för depression är det inte mycket som kan göra mig glad. Men ingen antidepressiv medicin funkar lika bra som en underbar konsert … eller sju. Jag mår aldrig lika bra som jag gör på en bra konsert. Tack för en fantastisk sommar! Jag önskar att jag hade haft råd att gå på fler konserter än jag gjorde.”
Switzerland
Cathérine Frei: ”Letting anticipation grow for months, travelling from the cheese country to beautiful Sweden, visiting small and big cities, meeting so many fan-buddies, spending a weird day in front of the venue and then going crazy when you enter the stage… Priceless! The magic of seeing you live in front of me, playing the songs that I love, never fades. Thank you for being around. Take care and see you “next time”!”
Fredric Norberg: ”Här kommer en hälsning från Schweiz och från Genève-sjön! Jag var uppe för 48 timmar i Sverige och såg Malmö konserten den 2 augusti: vilken show och vilket gig! Jag har fortfarande små filmer på min mobil som Jag ser åter och åter och kann bara säga: detta var årets bästa konsert, enkelt! Ett fantastiskt band och bra kombination med låtar.
