Roxette to play in Norway and Denmark as well
Bookmark or Share(Updated) - The Norwegian newspaper Aftenbladet reported yesterday that Roxette will perform in Viste Strand pop festival in Stavanger August 21. The pop festival "Den store sommerfesten" ("The Big Summer Fest") is arranged for the fourth time.
According to one of the organizers, Per Vervik, this will appeal to people throughout the Rogaland southern county as well as pop fans far beyond the country borders. He also points out that it will be an outdoor concert as well as the only Roxette performance in Norway.
"Per Gessle knows what it takes to capture listeners' attention with his songs. In addition, Marie Fredriksson is a brilliant vocalist and together they have played themselves into people's minds", says Per Vervik to the journal.
He continues to add that Roxette will go to Randaberg with a full band and full stage production, just as the other gigs in Sweden and Russia. 8000 tickets will go on sale Friday March 5 09.00 on www.billettservice.no and the cost is between 550NOK and 850 NOK (€68-105).
The supporting act is Paperboys.
Update: Roxette will also play in Denmark, at Smukfest, which takes place between 4th and 8th of August. That makes a total of five dates and according to d&d management that is all:
August 8 - Skanderborg, Denmark
August 14 - Anderstorp, Sweden
August 21 - Stavanger, Norway
September 10 - Moscow, Russia
September 12 - St. Petersburg, Russia

At least the festival in DK is about 3 hours from Germany/Netherlands, as far as I could see.. :P It doesn’t help ME, but surely some of you :)

According to the Danish press-release from Smufest’s office, Roxette will play TWO gigs in Sweden. Is there something we should know? :))))

I guess that yes, it should be nice to get to know all the concert dates.

I hope if there are more concerts in the works they announce them in the next week or two.
I’m fully funded for 2 months in Europe coming from Australia and hope to tie in a Roxette concert or two along with a grand prix and a couple of other things in Europe.....
I have some dates in mind (the bulk of July and August) but if there are a couple of easier to get to venues than Anderstorp, then please for the love of God tell me before I start booking $3,000+ worth of flights to and around Europe....

“smukfest” LOL...sounds like some kind of kinky sex festival.
rezmad said on March 3, 2010 08:26:
And that sounds like even more of a reason for me to get tickets to that... lol

I think smuk is Danish for “good looking”. Not 100 % sure though.
Sascha said on March 3, 2010 10:14:
Seems so, like Schmuck in German. So according to d&d this are definitely all dates for 2010? Or all confirmed dates for now?
tevensso (moderator) said on March 3, 2010 10:16:
Dimberg said “those are all”. I interpret that as all there is. But time will tell I guess. :)
LadyKatrin said on March 3, 2010 10:42:
That‘s wonderful!
Wish I could be there but who knows... ;)
Sascha said on March 3, 2010 11:50:
Okay, thanks. Maybe they wanna continue when the album is out...
Breathe8 said on March 3, 2010 14:24:
@tevensso, could you find out what day will Roxette play in Denmark, please??
JoyRidErno said on March 3, 2010 16:01:
Hopefully there is going to be a gig in Finland too! Or at least in Stockholm or Tallinn, so that it would be cheap to travel.

I’m not tevensso, but still. They are not selling tickets for the Moscow gig at the moment. The tickets will be sold closer to the summer.
I will inform you as soon as they will start selling the tickets.

what’s the difference between all these dates? i’ve already bought the Anderstorp’s one.. will Roxette be performing full concert there? i really hope so with their new songs etc.. i always wanted to have Europe trip but i kept telling myself, “let’s wait for Roxette to reunite and tour first then I’ll definitely go there”.. now here I am planning my 1 month Europe trip.. already booked my flight ticket all the way from Malaysia.. would love to meet Swedish people that can help and guide us there.. will be arriving in Gothenburg airport on the 13th of Aug night.. i’m seriously looking for Swedish people that can help us there.. my email is faithar83@yahoo.com
hope to keep in touch and thanks a lot all!! :D
tevensso (moderator) said on March 11, 2010 17:15:
The difference is that it’s different dates and different countries. As far as I know that should be it.
