ROXETTE TO PLAY “ON THE STEPS”

SECOND & FINAL SYDNEY SHOW ANNOUNCED AS PART OF THE ROXETTE LIVE 30TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR
with special guests Boom Crash Opera

THURSDAY DECEMBER 4, 2014 – It must have been love as Live Nation has responded to fan demands and today announce a very special second and final ROXETTE show to be held on the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on Wednesday February 25.
This will be a once-in-a-lifetime performance at this world class, iconic venue to celebrate one of music’s most enduring and endearing duos’ 30th Anniversary Tour.

Legendary Swedish pop-rockers Roxette - Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle - will be sure to look sharp when they take to the quintessential Sydney location to perform their endless list of hits to fans in one of the most impressive backdrops in the world.
“To play this show on the steps of the Sydney Opera House is an absolute honour and is sure to be a major highlight of the tour!” says Per Gessle.

The Sydney Opera House Forecourt show will be a high point of the inaugural week-long ‘On the Steps’ series of outdoor concerts, presented by the Opera House and Live Nation as part of the 2014-15 Summer at the House line-up.
“We are beyond thrilled to head back to Australia, a stunning country with beautiful fans who have remained some of our most loyal supporters over the last few decades” says Per Gessle. “Marie, the band and I are ready and raring to go with a brand new show full of our hit songs and a few surprises”.
Tickets for this special event will go on sale at 10am Thursday, December 11.

My Live Nation members can be amongst the first to secure tickets during the pre-sale beginning 10am Tuesday, December 9.
