It’s time for Xmas again, and this time The Daily Roxette goes all in with a specially made Xmas present for all of you!

HELSINKI – Per Gessle had brought his band to Helsinki, Finland, in the most miserable November weather you can imagine. The concert was originally planned to a larger arena in the neighbouring city of Espoo, but moved and re-scheduled to Kulttuuritalo (Culture House) in the capital.

LINKÖPING – It was a cold, dark and dreary night, outside. Inside was a totally different melody! Inside the SAAB Arena there was this little pop orchestra setting up shop.

MOSCOW – The concert in Moscow took place in Crocus City Hall. It seems that musicians and organizers like the cooperation, since all Moscow concerts since 2011 are held here.

STOCKHOLM – The Waterfront Congress Center. Per with band hits his second home town, and with force! The Crown Princess Victoria with husband Prince Daniel, Peter Jöback and Jonas Åkerlund were all there.

Per Gessle’s Roxette tour made one stop in The Netherlands before journeying home to Halmstad. Here is a series of photographs just for you.

Yes you heard us right, you can win a meet and greet with Per Gessle.

A couple of shows have passed since my last article, time to dig deep into the topic again. Let’s talk about Warsaw, Berlin and something very important.

A third of Per Gessle’s Roxette tour is over by now. Time for the “Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything”, you would think. No, instead we asked Per about the tour, of course.

Italian fans Valeria Felluca (text) and Jessica Verta (photos) saw Per Gessle’s Roxette in Zürich, Switzerland. Here’s their report.

Third concert of this tour, second concert attended by The Daily Roxette. One may think we’ve seen it all in Leipzig already but you better be ready for a surprise.

Second gig of Per Gessle’s Roxette tour, and I heard different opinions after the first concert. So I got in my car and drove to Leipzig to see what’s what and what’s not.

A bit more than two weeks before the tour starts and everything is way too silent. It’s not that we miss the obnoxious “Sooooo Christoffer!” (and we know that Chris will agree with us here) but a little more insight into what is going on behind the curtains would be nice. Rehearsal videos? The band getting in shape? Stage design presentation? So far nothing. We certainly think it’s time to reveal some secrets so we sat down and talked to ourselves. Enjoy and please share your thoughts with us!

Per Gessle went on a successful Swedish solo tour last summer. Usually there’s a DVD from the tours, this time is no different.

An esteemed wise man once rapped “…Guess who’s back? Back again. Gessle’s back, tell a friend…”

Good news for European fans of Swedish super group and classic hit makers Roxette—the duo’s songwriter Per Gessle is embarking on a European tour focusing on the mighty Roxette song catalogue this autumn.

In our contest last week we urged you to send in your best photos of the tour and surroundings, in order to win a signed copy of the brand new photo book En vacker bok.

Last week we reviewed the live album, today it’s time for the book to be scrutinized. They come as a package – a tour CD and a tour photo book.

So here it is, the legacy after this summer’s very successful tour. It’s short, but Per has a reasonable explanation as of why.

After this summer’s exceptional tour it was no big surprise to hear there will be a live record out. And a photo book.

HALMSTAD – Per comes to his hometown. “No one is a saint in one’s own hometown” goes the saying. I guess Per comes as close as you can get though.

STOCKHOLM – Gig #10 and at Stockholm’s zoo/outdoor museum Skansen. A gorgeous day, 24° C and sun.

GOTHENBURG – The ‘En vacker kväll’ tour rolls into Gothenburg and WHAT A GIG!

RÄTTVIK – The tour goes into its second week and Per with band showed up in remote Rättvik at the amazing venue Dalhalla. It wasn’t sold out as far as I know, but at least 3,800 were there, the last time I checked.
