Roxette’s new stage in progress

by


The “damp” blog by Lucas Lindholm offers some interesting insight to the preparation of Roxette’s new stage equipment for the upcoming European leg of the Charm School World Tour. The more-or-less locally rented stages of the previous tour legs seem to get replaced by more dedicated touring equipment. Per hinted at stage upgrades in an interview early August:

The successes of the first half of the tour means that Roxette will be travelling with a larger stage and more equipment. We need to improve it a bit for the autumn tour.

The photo galleries so far picture the work on September 26, 27 and probably 28. So who’s able to describe the visible technical upgrades, any experts out there?

Thomas Johansson: No one believed we would sell a million tickets

Pollstar.com reports that Live Nation Sweden chief Thomas Johansson confirms that the current Roxette World Tour sale will reach 1 million tickets. He comments:

If I had said we would do a million tickets when we first started out, I’m not sure if people would have told me to go to the pub or to come out of it.

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.
