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.

Roxette to take part in Norwegian festival in Tromsø

by

Organizators of Døgnvillfestivalen in the Northern Norwegian city of Tromsø announced that Roxette is set to perform during this year’s festival. The festival takes place between the 1st and 3rd September and Roxette is said to perform on Thursday (September 1st). This makes the 4th Roxette concert in Norway this year and the 69th (!!!) on the World Tour 2011 schedule.

The festival’s director Hogne Rundeberg said:

This is one of the bands on the list of ultimate bookings for us and we are looking forward to this historic event. We have a tradition to have great artists with us and this concert is a guaranteed singalong – in the same way as the a-ha’s gig last year.

Other Swedish artists like Robyn, Veronica Maggio or The Cardigans are going to perform there as well. It is the third largest festival in Norway with over 13,000 people participating.
