EMI Germany informs that the video clip to Roxette’s new single “Way Out” will be premiered exclusively on www.myvideo.de on Thursday, May 26.

MyVideo is an official partner of the German music industry since they pay royalties for the broadcasted material, financed by advertising. The “Way Out” clip was filmed during Roxette’s recent world tour leg in South Africa and has a similar style to the “Run To You” video, which was filmed on tour in 1994. The single will be released on June 10 in Germany and other countries, right before the German tour start in Berlin.

World Tour 2011: Roxette bring the fun back to Dubai

by

 

Local Gulfnews.com website reporters attended the very first Roxette concert in Dubai on May 20th and here is what they have to say about the gig

Thank goodness the likes of Roxette are still around to remind us what pop music used to be about… Fun!

Here is a band that’s never been po-faced about their craft, and from the second the first bubblegum rock riff of Dressed for Success filled the Dubai World Trade Centre, you knew what was in store.

Taking to the stage in outfits that would make David Hasselhof green with envy, the Swedish pop stars quickly had the Dubai crowd eating from the palm of their hands.

Sleeping in my car followed, and the night was already won. Because even if you don’t think you know Roxette, you do and you can’t help yourself.
