Kazan date changed, second concert in Sao Paulo?

According to biletti.ru website, the first concert on the 2011 Roxette World Tour in Russian city Kazan will take place on February 28th instead of March 1st as the first press release informed. Please, be aware that this information is not yet official.

RoxetteBrasil.net informs that another date was added in Brazil – the 5th concert will take place on April 19th in Sao Paulo. Despite earlier fears the second concert in Buenos Aires should take place on April 5th.

Another date in South Africa, bigger venue for Sofia

Two good information from Rox World 2011 Tour camp.

As you may remember South African gigs sell like hot cakes and over 5,000 tickets were sold just in the first hours of the sale. This is one of the reasons why Roxette adds the fourth concert in this country – the new one is for Cape Town on Tuesday May 10th, 2011. This makes the first concert (May 11th) to become the second one. Check Computicket.com for more information.

Bulgarian fans do not disappoint Roxette – the concert in Sofia on May 29th will be moved from the National Palace of Culture to the bigger venue – the Georgi Asparuhov stadium. Over 4,000 tickets were sold for NPoC which was “sold-out” for the place.Unfortunately, the organizers will provide only sitting places on the stadium. For additional tickets, please see the link (in Bulgarian only).
