Show No. 8 on the Roxette In Concert 2025 tour happened in Hobart. Hobart is the capital and most populous city of the island state of Tasmania, Australia. This is the first time Roxette performed here and the gig was held at MyState Bank Arena.
Norpan had to play borrowed drums, because it would have been impossible to fly his gear to this spot. Not sure if other instruments were also borrowed for the show. -> Update from Daniel Rezmann: “The band and crew carried a few as carry on luggage between Adelaide and Hobart. Per used his BB King Lucille Gibson 335 and red checked accoustic. (No blue checkered.) His red Gibson Trini Lopez was replaced by a red Gibson 335. Christoffer had his regular Epiphone Casino. And maybe his 12-string acoustic. Otherwise he also used a black or blue Gibson 335 and black or blue Fender Telecaster. (I thought blue for both, but they look black in my pics.) And I believe his lapsteel was his own (that appeared to be the shape of his hand luggage). Jonas only used a black Dusenberg. Magnus looked to be normal.”
Support act Boom Crash Opera went on stage at 7.00 pm and Roxette entered the scene after 8.15 pm.
