Are we really talking about 2015 already? Well, legendary Swedish pop-rockers Roxette are making sure that’s happening with this morning’s announcement that the group will be returning to Australia for a national tour next February, supported by Australia’s Boom Crash Opera.
This is the first time since Roxette – Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle – will have played in Australia since including us in their 2012 World Tour that saw them play to 1.5 million people in 46 countries. The band will play six arena shows this time around, with two dates as part of the Day on the Green concert series in the Yarra and Hunter Valleys, supported by Eurogliders, Dragon and Boom Crash Opera.
2014 marks the 25th anniversary of their #1 hit single “The Look”, and fans can expect that and much more in their sets. See also: Listen To Your Heart, How Do You Do, Spending My Time, Joyride, Dangerous, Sleeping In My Car, Dressed For Success, It Must Have Been Love, Almost Unreal and many, many more.
