“Roxette World Tour 2011” – Setlist Voting PART 1

by

A few hundred fans decided to drop their votes in our little voting machine called “Roxette World Tour 2011 – let’s help with the setlist again!“. There were some who did not play fair and tried to vote more than once, but they did not succeed in the end. After two months of voting and hours of counting, we can announce the final results…

  1. The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye
  2. A Thing About You
  3. Spending My Time
  4. The Rain
  5. Silver Blue
  6. June Afternoon
  7. Surrender
  8. Run To You & Keep Me Waiting
  9. –
  10. So Far Away

To quote the Man from the summer Daily Roxette interview:

I don’t know about this Internet vote, there always comes up weird song choices like “The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye” laughs Per. We played ‘Silver Blue’ since that song won. We did it in a new arrangement that was nice.

Will Roxette use any of our propositions in their setlist? Time will only tell.

By the way, be prepared for a very quick voting just after the album’s release. You know – to pick up the songs we like the most from that. 🙂

Update Jan 9:

Berlin show sold out!

by

Roxette’s world tour concert in Berlin appears to be sold out at the biggest ticket vendor eventim.de. This could change again with additional contingents but indicates the nearing end of capacity. However, the promotion partner Spreeradio still has tickets on sale. So if you think about going there — don’t wait too long!

Update: A couple of hours later the other official ticket vendors like getgo.de and trinitymusic.de have sold out as well. Be cautious if you buy from unknown re-sellers! The normal price was between 59 and 62 €.

Kazan date changed, second concert in Sao Paulo?

by

According to biletti.ru website, the first concert on the 2011 Roxette World Tour in Russian city Kazan will take place on February 28th instead of March 1st as the first press release informed. Please, be aware that this information is not yet official.

RoxetteBrasil.net informs that another date was added in Brazil – the 5th concert will take place on April 19th in Sao Paulo. Despite earlier fears the second concert in Buenos Aires should take place on April 5th.

You may remember that we collected your song suggestions for the summer tour setlist. “Silver blue” ended up at #1 and the song was added to the setlist, even Per introduced the song on the concerts refering to the internet community and the song being our request.

Today, he wrote the following on Facebook: “Thanx for the super-duper-overwhelming response re the upcoming tour. Let’s find a proper setlist!!!”

So start writing down your wishes! It will work the same as last time:

  • you write down your own TOP 3 of Roxette’s songs you would like to hear on the concert(s?) in 2011 in the comments to this article
  • the # 1 in your list gets 3 points
  • # 2 – 2 points
  • # 3 – 1 point
  • in the end of November we will collect all the lists and make the final setlist.

Of course, it would be great if you could come up with some new and never-heard live songs, so we have a better chance one rare song is played live! So grab your Rox-collection and start digging 😉

Thanks 🙂
