Tour

Roxette will play in Kiev on December 6

by

MyTeatr.com reports on the very successful Roxette’s concert in front of 5,000 people that took place in Kiev in March this year. Even if there is no confirmed date, this article clearly states that Roxette will play in Ukraine for the second time this year. It is very likely that St. Petersburg won’t be the last concert this year – making December 6th (as our August rumour stated) one of the final stops of the World Tour 2011.

Update September 23: We have a poster for the concert – so yes, December 6th is a fact now.

Thanks to Evgeny Perekopskiy for this information.

Nobody really wanted to tour us in Australia, eventually we found someone who was interested. I think we’ve sold more than 100,000 tickets in Australia so far. We’re very surprised by the reception for this tour all over the world. Suddenly we’re playing big arenas all over again, it’s mindblowing.

As we informed yesterday, Roxette is the biggest selling artist in Israel at the moment. As one of promotional activities for the coming Tel Aviv concert, Per Gessle was interviewed by Israeli TV2 – you don’t have to practice your Hebrew this time as the interview is in English, only subtitled 🙂
