Roxette is a pop-rock duo hailing from Sweden, with Marie Fredriksson on vocals and Per Gessle on guitar and supporting vocals. Before Roxette, both Fredriksson and Gessle had established musical careers in their home country, until joining to record their first Swedish hit single,” Neverending Love.”
From the band's inception in 1986, they achieved international acclaim in the late ‘80s, thanks to Look Sharp!, their commercial breakthrough album. They have sold over 60 million records globally and received gold and platinum awards for their Joyride and Look Sharp! albums. Their greatest hits album was Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus, which was followed by a hiatus until 1999, when Have a Nice Day was released, followed by Room Service in 2001. After a 10-year break, Charm School was released in 2011, followed by Travelling in 2012.
Roxette have toured globally, with their 1991 worldwide tour going out to over 1.5 million fans across a challenging schedule of 107 concerts. They have also toured extensively throughout Europe and Latin America, where they have won Platinum awards, and featured at the Night of the Proms, as well as a number of international concerts. They have also received multiple awards, including the Grammys, MTV, Rock Music Awards and more. “Listen to Your Heart” and “It Must Have Been Love” have received BMI awards for notching up over four million plays on the radio.
They are notable for breaking the tricky US market almost by accident, when an American student bought a copy of Look Sharp! home in 1988 and passed it to a local radio station. Popular reception saw Roxette's music rapidly spread to other radio stations, and marked the start of their success on the international market. EMI released The Look in the US in 1989 and it went straight to No. 1 in the American charts, later topping the music charts in 25 countries. Other notable releases include Dressed for Success, Dangerous in 1989, and the hit “It Must Have Been Love,” which featured on the film Pretty Woman and was the band's most successful release, topping the charts globally and going platinum three times. Later releases include Crash! Boom! Bang! in 1994 and Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus in 1995. Have a Nice Day was released in 1999.
They played all the best Dressed For Success, Sleeping In My Car, The Big L. Spending My Time, It Must Have Been Love, Fading Like a Flower, Crash Boom Bang, How Do You Do! , Dangerous, Joyride , Listen To Your Heart The Look, Church Of Your Heart. I loved the concert, the first time I saw them, I missed them in the 90's so finally I could be there.
Best show ever! Per and Marie are in great shape. The band was splendid. What a concert!
They were REALLY GOOD!!, their voices are d same, it was a very NICE show, and they still ROCK!! :)
With the special guest of Glass Tiger opening the concert to the throw back to the 80s it was a great stepping stone to what was to come in the night when Roxette finally got on stage. Opening with Dress for Success song for the night set the pace of all great music from the 80s to the early 90s that Roxette has as a hit and some a song or two that is new that I had never heard of, but it sure has a Roxette feel to the songs. An unbelievable night of listening to some really great music that I grew up listening to on the radio.
Had Great Time, didn't want to leave, lot's of good memories and new music, Mari's voice is amazing, and Pier rocked the guitar on all 100%
Roxette had everyone dancing to their many hits! The show was amazing and an unforgettable experience! Glass Tiger were also amazing and a fantastic opening artist to open for Roxette!
Finally!!! Roxette returns to the US after a 20+ year absence and we finally get to experience what the rest of the world has had the pleasure of tour after sucessful tour. I caught them on their first US tour in 1992 and would not have missed this concert for anything; driving 2+ hours to get to NYC to catch this show and would have travelled a greater distance if need be. Although it would have been wonderful to witness them in a large arena as they're accustomed just about everywhere else on this earth, the intimate venue was great. They sounded wonderful and seeing Marie back in action after all she has gone through was very uplifting.
I've loved Roxette for years and was thrilled to be able to see them live for the first time. It was all I had hoped it would be and more! Was also pleasantly surprised with Glass Tiger as I wasn't very familiar with them but after seeing their performance I came home and purchased some of their music as well!
I've followed the group ever since "Look Sharp" was released. Mainly because the music is so fun and the songwriting is impeccable. I have not had many opportunities to see them live, so I jumped at the chance to take my 19 year old daughter to see them in Winnipeg. We had great seats (center of 5th row) and we enjoyed every single song of the concert! Roxette is so genuine, awesome performances by each band member. The whole MTS Centre was having a blast, it was the best concert I've been to in ages! Thanks Roxette!!!
I flew up to Boston from Baltimore to see my favorite band in concert again after 20 years. I first saw ROXETTE on their "JOIN THE JOYRIDE" tour back in March of 1992 @ the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia. They were riding the waves of superstardom at that time, reaching #1 on the Billboard charts (4) times and also reaching #2 (2) times in a very short period. The show in Boston was moved from the Orpheum Theater to the House Of Blues venue. I love ROXETTE and have all their albums and have followed them from the beginning. I couldn't believe I was seeing them in concert again. I didn't care that I had to fly as long as I got to see them perform again. The show was FANTASTIC!!!. The thrill of seeing Per & Marie again was almost too much. They opened with "Dressed For Success" and the crowd went nuts. The band was super tight, intense, and ROCKED OUT like you wouldn't believe. ROXETTE is much more rock & roll in concert. Per is quite a showman and an incredible guitar player and singer. Marie is breathtaking. What a singer and inspiration. It was like a dream back in time. They sounded incredible, unbelievably terrific, words can't describe their energy and performance. They sang all the favorites, "Joyride", "Must Have Been Love", "Listen To Your Heart", "Dangerous", "Fading Like A Flower", and great hidden gem hits like "Stars", "7Twenty7". The crowd LOVED them and sang along to every song. I think I lost my voice about 1/2 way through from screaming and singing. It was a dream come true after a 20 year wait. YOU MUST GO SEE ROXETTE.....you will be BLOWN AWAY!!! Folks, you've got San Francisco & LA coming up. DO NOT MISS THEM IN CONCERT. You'll have one of the best nights of your life. WE LOVE YOU ROXETTE!!! Please don't keep us in the USA waiting too long for a retrun visit.
