This news has just appeared in our mailbox. According to Daily Telegraph…

SWEDISH pop sensations Roxette have answered the call of their Australian fans and will perform a second Sydney Entertainment Centre concert on February 16.

Per Gessle said he and singer Marie Fredriksson had been stunned by the demand for tickets to their first Australian show in more than 15 years.

“The response to this whole tour has been crazy,” Gessle said. “We couldn’t really believe it when we heard the Sydney show had sold out because it has been so long.”

Tickets for the new concert go on sale on August 29.

Rumours have it that additional dates for Melbourne and Perth will be announced this weekend.
