Roxette is returning to the road for ‘Roxette in Concert', taking place at the end of the year.
Following the band's 2016 shows, which were believed to be their final concerts, Roxette founder Per Gessle is heading back to the stage with Swedish pop superstar Lena Philipsson. The first leg of ‘Roxette In Concert' has just come to an end – and it has been a massive success.
Kicking off with a groundbreaking performance in Cape Town, South Africa, the tour continued through Pretoria, and then moved on to nine unforgettable shows in Australia. The energy was electrifying, with over 75,000 fans singing along to the iconic anthems, proving once again the timeless appeal of Roxette’s music. The response has been extraordinary, with both critics and fans celebrating the powerful performances.
It’s been five years since Roxette lost Marie Fredriksson to cancer, a devastating loss that left family, friends, and fans in grief. Yet, their legacy lives on, with their songs continuously streamed, played, and enjoyed by old and new supporters around the world.
“The first leg of the tour has been an incredible experience. It’s been so emotional and powerful to reconnect with the fans and bring Roxette’s music back to the stage. The response has truly been overwhelming. Marie will always be irreplaceable, but I’m lucky to have found an amazing voice and brilliant performer in Lena Philipsson. I co-wrote Lena’s first major hit back in 1986, and she’s one of Sweden’s brightest stars,” comments Per Gessle
“The first part of the tour has been absolutely amazing! Working with Per and performing these iconic songs has been a true joy. I’m so excited for what’s to come next,” adds Lena Philipsson
Later this year, Roxette brings their impressive show to cities across Europe, offering fans a rare opportunity to relive the soundtrack of their lives—with a fresh, powerful live production and the same timeless magic that made Roxette one of the most successful pop acts of all time.
The live band features long-time Roxette collaborators and world-class musicians: Christoffer Lundquist, Magnus Börjeson, Magnus “Norpan” Eriksson, Dea Norberg, along with original Roxette legends Clarence Öfwerman and Jonas Isacsson.
