Roxette Live

The legendary pop duo Roxette will extend their Australian visit and play shows across Australia with a second show in Sydney at Brisbane Entertainment Center this February 14 and 24, 2012. The ticket sales in Sydney were sold out already on its first day of sale with fans pleading for an additional Sydney show, which is now confirmed for Thursday February 16, 2012.

Roxette are a Swedish pop music duo, Marie Fredrickson on vocals and Per Gessle, vocals and guitar. The  duo became an international act from the late 1980’s, when they released their breakthrough album Look Sharp! Their third album Joyride became just as successful. Roxette achieved nineteen UK Top 40 hits and numerous US hot 100 hits, including for US number ones with “The Look”, “Listen to your heart”, “It must have been love”, and “Joyride”. Other hits included Dangerous, Fading like a flower and Dressed for success.

"The concerts have been amazing so far," says Per Gessle. "Marie and the band are in top shape and the response has been incredible. And the way the new album has been received is great. We feel very fortunate and look forward to a very exciting year!" 

EMI released earlier this year Roxette’s new album Charm School and will support the tour with the release of a tailored Australian greatest hit package, released earlier this month. Charm school went straight to hit the chart to number one on the German, Czech and Swiss album.
