Roxette are currently touring arenas full of cheering fans in Russia, The Baltics and Finland. This arena tour will wrap up in November this year, and then kick off again in Australia and New Zealand in February 2015.
Today we can confirm that Roxette will also embark on a European tour, with its premiere in Milan on the 10th of May.
– It’s amazing to be back on the international scenes. The response we’ve had from our audience all these years is overwhelming and we can’t wait to meet the fans again. We look forward to seeing you in Europe! – Roxette
It has been 25 years since Roxette’s breakthrough single ”The Look” entered the #1 position on the US Billboard Singles Chart (March 1989). ”Listen To Your Heart”, ”It Must Have Been Love” and “Joyride” also became #1 songs in the US, which helped establish Roxette as one of the biggest pop bands of our time.
Roxette have sold over 75 million albums – a number which increases everyday. With their impressive collection of hits, the duo ruled the charts throughout the ’90s and well into the ’00s.
After a long break, during which Marie Fredriksson recovered from cancer, Marie reunited with Per Gessle in 2011. With the new album “Charm School” and the single “She’s Got Nothing On (But The Radio)” Roxette once again occupied the world’s top charts. The tour that followed this album took them around the world twice, and they performed for 1,5 million people during 153 concerts.
In October this year, Roxette and their band kicked off a brand new tour in Russia, The Baltics and Finland. This February, the tour will continue in Australia and New Zealand for another seven arena concerts.
Today we proudly announce that Roxette have added several European dates to this tour. The European tour opens in Milan and will be followed by 27 concerts in 18 different countries. This tour will conclude during Roxette’s 30th anniversary (2016) and has therefore been named “XXX – The 30th Anniversary Tour”.
