Party Crasher tour grows

STOCKHOLM (Updated) - 
The upcoming Party Crasher tour has been expanded, with a gig in the Man's hometown Halmstad. May 8 Per will play Sporthallen in Halmstad.
"I'm really looking forward to this trip around Europe. I consider it to be some kinda birthday present to myself to be able to play my favorites from The Gessle Box Of Songs In English.
"My ambition is to put together a guitar-based power-pop-set specially designed for the club scene! There will be loads of Roxette songs I haven't sung since the demo days but also favorites from the Plum, World According to… and of course Party Crasher. And why not a jolly cover, or two?
"I love the fact that we've been able to squeeze in a gig in cookin' Halmstad before the band vaporizes after the two gigs May 9 & 10 in Cirkus in Stockholm (other duties are in the can for my eminent musicians). Friday May 8 we'll be ready to roll the dice in Sporthallen in my hometown, with guitars almost-in-tune and smiles on our faces. Playing in Halmstad always makes my heart beat just a little bit faster."
says Per.
Tickets will be available at Ticnet Wednesday March 18 at 09:00.

The tour and the shows are going to be awesome. One can only hope that there will be a dvd release of the concert. How great would it be if there were a camera following the whole tour with great backstage/travelling stuff for the dvd too. :)

Per. You really should re-reunite your band after summer and come to Spain for at least 2 concerts more. Roxette always had an special affaire with Spain, so what has happened now? Madrid and Barcelona are waiting for you and your band.

Hallandsposten has already picked up the news. http://hallandsposten.se/kultur/1.411772
Per tells us that he gave the band 50 songs that they have to learn, and on rehearsal that starts on march 25th they will test them and make it about 25 songs to the concerts :D

well, although it was stated that PC was planned to be released in Russia by Gala Rec, I have never seen it.
But I hope that working with the Russian media will help Per add a gig in Moscow or in St. Petersburg.

I promised and I still maintain it that until he doesn’t announce a concert in Spain I will not buy his album. I’m more than tired about all the rejection he shows to the west part of Europe, when we are one of the most important potential markets for him. I’ve been a hardcore fan, but now his music and him are dead for me. I will not spend a single cent in someone who just thinks about himself.
By the way, deleting the forum is like digging your own hole, as this page is even more dead than it used to be.

@ernnnn: I really don’t want to start a fight or make a big deal out of it, but don’t you think it’s a little stupid not to buy an album and then ask the artist to come to your country. (I guess, you are from Spain, sorry, if I’m wrong.) Cos artists go to play in those countries in the first place where they sell the most!

Please, don’t be so childish. Is it so important for you if PC will be released in your country? Well you can buy it from Swedish online shops for example. I did it in November, so don’t stress about international release. Take it easy, live your life.
BTW: Countdown could be started. 1 month remains.

Wise decision with moving sale from eventim.se to ticknet.se. Ticnet.se is much more popular and it will be possible to sell tickets faster than on eventim.se

I found it easy to buy through eventin, i mean if you are not from sweden. i ´ll take a look to ticnet
tomos85 said on March 16, 2009 13:01:
It’s the same on ticnet. I just mean that ticnet.se is more popular and that’s why it’s better to sell tickets there :)

Please, grow more... well, one can dream about it growing enough to be coming to a tropical and friendly place across the Atlantic Ocean... ^-^
I tried to post this question in the ’son of a plumber’ site, but I wasn’t successful on that (a problem with the server, I guess). So, if there isn’t problems, I’m posting it here, so maybe there is a chance Mr. Gessle reads it and... who knows? ;)
“Hello, Mr Gessle, how are you? For the last 22 years, I’ve been following your work, first (as many people here in Brasil) with Marie, in Roxette, and, at some point, finding out you also have a solo career, a very interesting and, I am sure, even more full of meanings (I’ll let you know as long as my swedish gets better).
But what brings me here is your new work, “Party Crasher”, which is being anxiously wanted by this fan and all others - just check in the orkut community “Roxette Brasil”, just in case - for the release here in Brasil, and a single question: any chance to extend the tour to this side of the Atlantic Ocean?
Thank you, from me and all the members of the “Roxette Brasil” community in Orkut, just for being you.”
