More Roxette shows to come..
German radio station NDR2 published an interview with Per Gessle the other day. It seems that most likely Roxette will play another 25 shows in autumn, some of them in Germany again. If you already know when and where Roxette will play let us know. 🙂

Roxette World Tour to be continued in 2012?
Per Gessle was interviewed by ZDF yesterday and this is one of his quotes:
If we’re lucky I think the tour will go on next year as well. Because it’s a big world and there seem to be a lot of opportunities for Roxette. People seem to have missed us, which is fantastic.”
P.S. Roxette was a trending topic on Twitter yesterday!
