The Daily Roxette presents ROX40
Bonn was the last German gig for Roxette on this tour. August 3rd was a hot, humid day for fans waiting outside the venue. We -my sister and I- got to the queue at around 12pm, after going on a short shopping spree. Though having in theory got a great spot in the queue, German manners would later change things for the worse.
Following the sad news of cancellation and postponement of the planned North American Tour, we explore the ‘Blue Dot Phenomenon’, Big Costs and the Reality of Touring North America. Roxette are far from alone in this crisis.
We were lucky to have a very quick catch-up with and get to know Lena a little better, all right slap bang in the middle of the second European leg of the Roxette 40th Anniversary Tour. Lena was gracious with her time and we loved hearing more about the lady behind the voice.
We have a special guest designer for July’s Monthly Mock-Up, and it’s a goodie!
Next up in our ‘Monthly Mock-Ups!’ series, we return to and open up another BAG OF TRIX from The Roxette Vault… this time, in honour of Marie on what would have been her birthday, we’re posting early…this one is for you Marie ♥
We’re entering that “shoulda woulda coulda” imaginary space again. Only this time, Roxette are hitting the road with a World Tour that alas, didn’t happen…boo hiss boo! “Dream on, yesterday is gone…”
TDR sat down with Per on a rather stormy day to discuss everything ‘ROX40’, the 40th Anniversary of Roxette. It’s been one long joyride…
“C’mon ‘re-join’ the joyride everybody!” This month’s mock-up is a double-aa side single that never was. Excited? You should be, it’s HOT!
IKEA has announced the launch of a new cultural collaboration platform, beginning with a Café concept developed in close partnership with PER GESSLE of ROXETTE. The concept combines Scandinavian interior design, curated music and contemporary Swedish cuisine.
