Roxette In Concert 2025 – Hobart – 13th March 2025 – #8

Show No. 8 on the Roxette In Concert 2025 tour happened in Hobart. Hobart is the capital and most populous city of the island state of Tasmania, Australia. This is the first time Roxette performed here and the gig was held at MyState Bank Arena.

Norpan had to play borrowed drums, because it would have been impossible to fly his gear to this spot. Not sure if other instruments were also borrowed for the show. -> Update from Daniel Rezmann: “The band and crew carried a few as carry on luggage between Adelaide and Hobart. Per used his BB King Lucille Gibson 335 and red checked accoustic. (No blue checkered.) His red Gibson Trini Lopez was replaced by a red Gibson 335. Christoffer had his regular Epiphone Casino. And maybe his 12-string acoustic. Otherwise he also used a black or blue Gibson 335 and black or blue Fender Telecaster. (I thought blue for both, but they look black in my pics.) And I believe his lapsteel was his own (that appeared to be the shape of his hand luggage). Jonas only used a black Dusenberg. Magnus looked to be normal.”

Support act Boom Crash Opera went on stage at 7.00 pm and Roxette entered the scene after 8.15 pm.

Roxette In Concert 2025 – Sydney – 8th March 2025 – #5

No day off after the Melbourne show, the gang travelled to Sydney. In February 2015 Roxette did two concerts there, one at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt, the other at Qantas Credit Union Arena. This time they performed at ICC Sydney Theatre that was dressed for success for the show with its digital façade.

Support act Boom Crash Opera went on stage at 7.00 pm and Roxette entered the stage after 8.15 pm.

The crowd in Sydney had to do their best to beat the audience of the first Oz gig on this tour and they were indeed loud when singing along to all those amazing Roxette hits. And the band? They get tighter and tighter by every show!

The setlist remained the same as in Melbourne, so Things Will Never Be The Same was not played tonite either. One change was that Vulnerable is now not sung as a duet, but it is sung by Per. As he says under the backstage rehearsal video: “Going back to the original idea of “Vulnerable” with me singing both verses. That’s how it was written. Feels good.” Fabulousness!!! Keep it as it is forever, Per!

Roxette In Concert 2025 – Melbourne – 7th March 2025 – #4

After a day off, the second Oz gig happened in Melbourne. Last time Roxette visited this city was in February 2015 on the 30th anniversary tour. Then they played at Rod Laver Arena, this time they performed at Margaret Court Arena next door. Since the show got sold out in July 2024, another date was added at the end of this leg of the tour.

Support act Boom Crash Opera went on stage at 7.00 pm and Roxette entered the stage after 8.15 pm.

Per, Lena and the band were in top shape, full of passion and they performed in front of 7,500 l.o.u.d. party people in the audience.

The only change in the setlist was that Things Will Never Be The Same was not performed and Wish I Could Fly got to TWNBTS’s spot before Vulnerable. Hopefully, when they come back to Melbourne to close the Australian leg on 18th March, the crowd can hear TWNBTS too.
