Roxette on Skanderborg Festival in Denmark

by

Roxette will play on Smukfest (also know as Skanderborg Music Festival). The festival will take place between August 4th and 8th in a beech forest in the vicinity of Skanderborg. It has given it the name “Denmark’s Most Beautiful Festival” (Danmarks Smukkeste Festival). Roxette is the second international artist that was revealed today – British Placebo also will be there.

According to Smufest’s press release there will be two gigs in Sweden. I do not know if it’s a mistake or a typo.

In 2009, Skanderborg Festival was held for the 30th time and is today the second largest festival in Denmark after Roskilde. The festival gatheres more than 45,000 people for the concerts, including 8,500 workers, most of them volunteers.

Roxette in Russia in September

by

D&D Management confirmed the dates for two Roxette concerts today. The shows are in Russia and these are the dates:

September 10 – Moscow Mega Sport Arena
September 12 – St. Petersburg New Arena

Per Gessle also sent a short message to The Daily Roxette confirming the dates and hinting at more shows to come:

It feels fab to start the new year announcing live concerts by Roxette. Both Moscow and St Petersburg should be great fun! And if we’re all lucky there’s even more to come. By the way, the new recordings are going great, we’ll continue sweatin’ it out for the next six months or so. You’ll find videos/pics from the recordings on Snowfish.

Cheers, P.

A Russian ticket site has already listed both Roxette shows.
