Warsaw stage is being built
In only 9 days Roxette will perform on this stage in the centre of Warsaw on the New Year’s Party organized by Polsat TV and The City of Warsaw .
By the way… -15 C degrees is expected here in Warsaw on December 31st. That will be a very cool evening for sure.
Update: Agata Mlynarska, one of the New Year’s Eve Party hosts, revealed that Roxette would perform in 3 sets – two sets before the midnight and one on January 1st. It seems like they will perform 2 songs in each set. There is also a chance for another song according to Polsat. It is still unknown what the 6th and possible 7th song will be.
First photos from the Russian New Year’s Eve
Here is the first photo from the Russian New Year’s Eve programme where Roxette performed “The look” and “Sleeping in my car”. Please ignore the gossips though.
Update: More photos to be found on lifeshowbiz.ru.

Secret Roxette trip to Russia
As Evgeny Perekopskiy posted on his Facebook account today, Roxette – including the band with Clarence Öfwerman, Christoffer Lundquist, Pelle Alsing and Magnus Börjeson – have been in Moscow during the last days. They arrived on December 9th in the evening and flew back to Stockholm this morning.
So far, nobody knows why they have been there and what they did. So speculations started that Roxette either did a video or photo shoot or came to Moscow for some TV show recording, maybe even some New Year’s Eve show.
Back from Moscow Per Gessle lets us know what the trip was about:
Just got home from a couple of dayz (and nights) in jolly Moscow. Great TV-show, superb crowd. Hey you Russian ppl, see ya again in March!
