Roxette: Live – Back Again! 2026 – Buenos Aires, Argentina – 16th April – #3

April 18, 2026April 17, 2026 by Patrícia Peres

The band arrived in Argentina to perform an ass-kicking third show on the South American tour leg. They met an incredibly loud and active audience in Buenos Aires at the sold-out Movistar Arena. Per & Co. were in top top top shape, full of energy and the crowd reactions made them even more powerful.

Fans welcomed Lena very warmly and cheered her all the time. They held up signs saying “THX LENA” after Per introduced her. They also held up signs with Marie’s name and hearts during It Must Have Been Love after Lena dedicated the song to her. Per also got his signs during Opportunity Nox: “FRONT ROW * PER”.

The setlist remained the same. Chris played Ji Ji Ji by Los Redondos (Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota) as the intro to Joyride.

Roxette: Live – Back Again! 2026 – São Paulo, Brazil – 14th April – #2

April 15, 2026April 15, 2026 by Patrícia Peres

The gang stayed in Brazil for a second show and performed in hot hot São Paulo last night. The audience was just as loud as in Rio and cheered Per, Lena and the band constantly. The setlist remained the same as at the first gig, and Christoffer also played the Brazilian National Anthem as the intro to Joyride in São Paulo.

Roxette: Live – Back Again! 2026 – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – 12th April – #1

April 14, 2026April 13, 2026 by Patrícia Peres

After four months, the Roxette gang is back on tour and has started their South American journey in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. PG & Co. did a soundcheck in the afternoon. Check out the pictures Per shared HERE! The show last night was very loud and the band was in top shape.

There is a slight change in the setlist. Unfortunately, Vulnerable and Milk And Toast And Honey are gone, but Church Of Your Heart appeared as a nice surprise.

Christoffer played the Brazilian National Anthem as the intro to Joyride.

There are new T-shirts in the merch. It looks like they are especially made for the South American leg in South America.

Roxette In Concert 2025 – Trondheim – 13th December 2025 – #43

December 14, 2025December 14, 2025 by Patrícia Peres

Without a day off, the gang arrived in Trondheim to perform their last show on the autumn leg.

The doors opened at 18:00 and a local support act, Stage Dolls started the evening at 19:00. They played until 19:45 and after the crew set up all the necessary elements, Roxette took the stage at 20:45.

It was a fully seated show. The stage was so low that you could see the ground of it even from your seat in the front row. We tried our best for the gig so that it wouldn’t remain seated. We first stood up for Opportunity Nox – hey, it was the last time we heard this song this year, we couldn’t keep our asses on our seats –, but except for us, the whole arena remained seated. Our next try was Stars and we stayed standing during She’s Got Nothing On as well, but still nothing. Then to our biggest surprise, when we sat down for It Must Have Been Love, the whole arena stood up. Haha. What was that? It took quite some time for the audience to get into the real Saturday night mood. They stayed standing for the two uptempo songs after IMHBL, but sat down again for the band presentation and Joyride.

We brought some balloons for the last party and released them during Joyride. 4-5 of them were still in the air in the back of the arena during the second half of the song and people were playing with them.

Chris played In The Hall Of The Mountain King as the intro to Joyride.

Åsa came to us before the concert started and asked us if it was OK if she used the empty seat next to us so that she could film from there. Of course! Sometimes she left that seat and filmed from the sides. Then there was always someone who wanted to occupy her seat, but went away again when Åsa came back.

A couple of weeks ago Lena posted a story with a picture of Chris, Jonas and Magnus when they were standing behind them (Lena, Per and Dea) during Vulnerable, playing their guitars like mariachis. She put sombreros on their heads digitally. Now that became reality and the guys put on sombreros for that part of the show. Haha. It was so cool!

Roxette In Concert 2025 – Ålesund – 12th December 2025 – #42

December 13, 2025 by Patrícia Peres

After a day off – better said, a travelling day – the gang arrived in Ålesund. We were walking around the city and wondering how many people would be there for the concert, because we didn’t see many people.

To our surprise, lots of them were already there when the doors opened at 18:30. Where were all these guys and girls during the day? Haha. I say guys and girls, because the average age wasn’t very high. There were a lot of young people in the crowd. The arena got half packed by the time the support act – a local band called Rotlaus (they were cool) – went on stage at 19:30 and fully packed by the time Roxette took the stage at 20:45.

Finally, a standing show again! The crowd was very active already during the opening act and their mood only increased during the evening. They were singing loudly, clapping along and dancing. Yeehaa! The band was in top shape and felt even more powered by the audience’s reactions. Lots of action and much fun on stage!

Chris played In The Hall Of The Mountain King as the intro to Joyride.

Before Per greeted the crowd after Sleeping In My Car, Micke N-S brought him the next guitar and I was already stressed a bit that the setlist would be shorter for the penultimate show, because he brought Per the red and black checkered guitar – the one he plays during Crash! Boom! Bang! That would have meant skipping Dressed For Success, but hey, that’s impossible! Luckily, it turned out that Micke messed up the guitar order, but as soon as he realized it (when they had already started playing the song), he quickly brought Per the one he plays during DFS. Phew! Thank God! Haha. They laughed at this tiny hiccup.

I have to mention that there were many in the audience who came to the concert because of Lena. There were a few ladies around us who were her fans, they had been listening to her since they were 13-14 years old. Lovely!
