Roxette In Concert 2025 – Linköping – 4th December 2025 – #39

by

After a wonderful gig in London, everyone had a couple of days off to relax their voices and take a rest. Now the gang is on home turf and played their first of two sold-out shows in Sweden.

The Linköping concert was held at Saab Arena, an ice hockey arena. It was fully seated and this time there was a support act, Melodic Fluke, the Halmstad band that was also the opening act in Halmstad in summer. Take a look at their pic with Per backstage. Melodic Fluke started at 20:00 and Roxette took the stage a couple of minutes after 21:00.

The venue was huge, so there were screens on both sides of the arena.

The audience was rather reserved and well-behaving. They remained seated during the whole concert. They stood up only when the front rows stood up for The Look, but they sat down again when it was Queen Of Rain’s turn.

The band was happy to perform in Sweden and they tried to animate the crowd. The audience was the best at clapping along though. The concert was much fun anyway with a lot of action on stage.

Per had some issues with the prompter, because one of the lights from above was shining too bright on it, so it was not too visible. Micke N-S tried to do something with it already at the beginning of the show, to turn the prompter a bit around, but that light was still there. Before the encore, BoJo came up on stage as well to discuss it with Micke N-S. This little problem added some nice touch in the lyrics especially during She’s Got Nothing On.

For me it was a different experience to attend this show, because a certain drummer was sitting right next to me. Micke Syd came to see the concert with his wife, Helena. We attended concerts together in the past, but then most of the time he was of course on stage and I was off stage. Haha. On other rare occasions we were at the same show, but far from each other in the audience. So now it was really different. Haha. He was in Halmstad during the day, he came for the show and on 5th December he was off to Halmstad again. It’s been quite busy for him, so he was understandably very tired and he also caught a cold, but that didn’t keep him away from some drumming and playing the keyboards in the air during the gig.

Chris played Ljudet av ett annat hjärta as the intro to Joyride. Micke Syd was happy to hear that one too. See him in my TikTok video HERE. Haha.

Roxette In Concert 2025 – London – 1st December 2025 – #38

by

After a few days off, London was calling. The gang played the OVO Arena Wembley.

The doors opened at 18:00 and Roxette took the stage a couple of minutes after 19:30 local time. This time there were screens on both sides of the stage. The concert was fully seated, but the audience couldn’t help but stand up and party and sing along loudly.

Many of the Joyride musical cast of Stockholm attended the concert. How cool is that! Why London? Oh well, they will be performing at China Teatern on both 4th and 5th December when Roxette comes to Sweden this week. Everyone seemed to enjoy the show to the fullest.

Sven Lindström was also there in the audience.

Chris played God Save The King as the intro to Joyride.

This was the only gig I had to skip on this tour leg, so I got a little help from a friend regarding the pics. Photos in the article are taken by Diego Carballido.

Per after the gig:

Wembley Arena! London! Wow! Such an amazing evening. Thanks so much everyone for innovative singing + dancing. Loved every second of it!!!

Lena after the show:

Thank you London!!! Wonderful night! I actually caught a cold the other day, so I had a little bit of a sore throat tonight…but everything went very well. Now I’m in bed, quiet, sipping on a nice cup of tea! Love!

Roxette In Concert 2025 – Nuremberg – 26th November 2025 – #37

by

Without a day off, the band travelled to Nuremberg to perform their last German show on this tour leg. The venue was the local ice hockey stadium, PSD Bank Nürnberg Arena.

This was the concert with the least hardcore fans so far and this way there weren’t too many people waiting outside the venue before the doors opened at 18:30. However, by the time Roxette entered the stage at 20:00, the arena was fully packed.

During the band presentation Magnus said he is happy sad. He is happy, because they go home for a few days, but sad, because they are leaving Germany. The crowd reacted with an „aaaaw!” The Germans were so good to them, Magnus said. Per agreed and thanked Magnus for his wise words.

Chris played Pippi Langstrumpf as the intro to Joyride.

The loudest crowd reaction was their sing-along to It Must Have Been Love after Lena dedicated it to Marie and the clapping along Christoffer’s intro.

Now a few days off for the gang to get ready for London and the last 6 shows of this tour leg. Mr. G can have some more ginger tea and get as fit as a fiddle during the next few days. It seems that he has been fighting a cold for at least the last two shows, but despite this he gives 110% energy and you couldn’t wipe the smile off his face while performing.

Roxette In Concert 2025 – Düsseldorf – 25th November 2025 – #36

by

The band had one day break and they spent it in Düsseldorf. Christmas markets and Kraftwerk – the city has a lot to offer.

Before the gig, the organizers met Per and Lena to celebrate their sold-out concert.

This was the only show that was fully seated in Germany, so fans arrived only late, closer to the start of the show. The concert was to start at 20:00, but a lot of people were still in the hall, taking their drinks and stuff, so with a little delay, the gig kicked off at 20:10.

The band entered the stage first, then Per and Lena, as usual, and it was amazing to see that right at the second when Per entered, everyone jumped up from their seats. And when I say everyone, I mean EVERYONE, on the floor and on the upper levels as well. Aaah, it was such a great feeling! And actually, everyone stayed standing during the whole show. During the ballads too.

Per greeted the crowd with a „Guten Abend!” and after introducing Lena, he asked her how she was doing. Lena’s answer was „Mir geht’s super!” and Per said „It’s Tuesday.” Lena said „yes, it’s Tuesday. Perfect! I love Tuesdays!” Haha.

During the band presentation Per asked Magnus how he was doing. He said he was doing great in the music city of Düsseldorf. They call it the Liverpool of Germany, they have many great bands and they have their own fab four, Kraftwerk. Magnus shouted „thank you for the music, Düsseldorf!” Per thanked for the history lesson.

Chris played Pippi Langstrumpf as the wild intro to Joyride, and it worked perfectly.

If I said it gets harder and harder to name the Top5 shows in Frankfurt, then what can I say in Düsseldorf…? Awesomeness on stage, amazingness off stage. Loud, dancing audience with some cool reactions and a lot of action on stage between the band members and Per and Lena. Yeah, I have to add this show to my Top5 too. Maybe even Top3! Haha.

Roxette In Concert 2025 – Copenhagen – 12th November 2025 – #29

by

Roxette arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark last night to perform at Royal Arena. We met Christoffer before the show and he said Magnus attended concerts at this venue and said it’s a great one, the sound is always very good. We were eager to find out if that was true.

The band went on stage at 21:00 after a local support act, Halberg & Friends. Already during the opening act’s performance we could see that the crowd was in party mood. People stood up from their seats and danced to the songs and they were singing along loudly.

The sound in the arena was really amazing! Roxette sounded awesome and the crowd’s sing-along was so loud and clear. The audience had a fab time on this Wednesday night in the fully packed arena and already stood up from their seats at Dressed For Success. We usually sat down again during the ballads, but during the encore we stayed standing. Both the gang on stage and the audience off stage was so powerful! So Copenhagen easily has become the best gig so far on the autumn leg!

Per and Lena talked to the audience in English in between the songs, but when Per introduced Lena after Sleeping In My Car, she asked in Swedish if there were some Swedes in the crowd. She got a loud reaction, so there were quite some Swedes. Before It Must Have Been Love, Lena talked a bit in Swedish again and of course, dedicated it to Marie.

Chris played Pippi Långstrump as the intro to Joyride. The crowd was singing along loudly.
