Yahoo in its entertaiment section used four Reuters’ photos of Roxette from New Wave Festival 2009 taken by Ints Kalnin from Latvian Entertaiment photo agency. One more photography from yesterday’s opening night was found on Reuters website.
One of these pictures was used in Expressen’s article about Roxette’s comeback, but in a little different edit.

The Daily Roxette got hold of Per just before leaving for Latvia and the New Wave festival where Roxette will perform “for real” for the first time in 8 years tomorrow. Per says they are bringing C&C – Christoffer and Clarence on bass and keyboards respectively, Pelle Alsing on drums and Jonas Isacsson on guitar. Per has super-charged his Gretsch this time.
It seems Roxette will play the same five songs as on the Night of the Proms; “Wish I Could Fly,” “The Look,” “Joyride,” “It Must Have Been Love” and “Listen to Your Heart.”
