European “Room Service” tour set to begin in September
Written by Lars-Erik_Olson on May 22, 2001 to Live.
TDR BREAKING STORY – Without even a press release – let alone a press conference – to formally announce that a tour is planned, tickets for certain venues of Roxette’s upcoming “Room Service” tour have already gone on sale!
As first reported in The Daily Roxette weeks ago, Roxette and EMA Telstar have decided to mount a European tour. Dates and venues for the autumn tour are being added – Per has said that the rest of the dates are 99 percent in place – and it is expected that a formal announcement will be forthcoming Tuesday, probably at a press conference in Stockholm.
TDR learned today (see story above) that the tour will begin in Germany in late September and that the concert date for Helsinki will be November 12th.
Last week, during an online chat session in Austria, Roxette announced these two dates: November 1, Innsbruck and November 2, Vienna.
Yesterday, tickets went on sale for an October 22nd performance in Brussels at the circular-shaped Forest National concert venue. The general admission tickets cost about $35 USD with fees included.
The “Room Service” tour will take Per, Marie and the band to most of Europe’s major cities.
EDITOR’S NOTE: TDR will, of course, publish additional tour particulars as soon as they become available (Peter Aspeslagh and Visa Kopu contributed to this article).

Vienna is a bit too far for me, but I’ll go to the concert in Innsbruck. I’m excited how many concerts I can visit this time. It depends where they’ll play.
GREAT!

Tammie, I think the key words there are “once speculated”. Given that it would take a few months of advance planning to release another Roxette CD in the U.S., a Room Service release here – anytime soon – is looking more and more unlikely. The answer to your hypothetical question would be that the release date would be postponed.

Hi! Is there someone travelling around Europe by car? Is there someone who can help me to get the tickets?
Awaiting answers...

I hope that Budapest is among “Europe’s major cities”. Vienna isn’t far anyway, however, it’d be great to welcome them here in Hungary.
