Roxette World Tour 2011 schedule

Roxette to perform at BRAVO’s 50th anniversary show

Written by Sascha on August 31, 2006 to .

Roxette will be one of the three headline acts of BRAVO magazine’s 50-year gala this fall. Together with other acts like Nena (99 Luftballons) and Die fantastischen Vier, Roxette will perform live in Germany for the first time in five years!

  The show will be a time machine through five decades of pop culture. The “50 Jahre BRAVO” gala will take place at Color Line Arena in Hamburg on October 21st at 19:00 CET and… it’s possible to buy tickets.

  The show will be broadcast during prime time on channel “Pro Sieben” at 21:15 the same day.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The PR machine may have taken awhile to get its gears cranking, but the story that Roxette is back together again – and will be performing live on this show – has gone international. The Brazilian newspaper O Globo carries a story today, at least in their online edition (see link below). Roxette remains a well-known name in Brazil, due in large part to Roxette songs having been used for the soundtracks of television novellas (soap operas). – LEO

Great news, but only seating places far away from the stage available.

And there is a note, that the main area in the middle (in front of stage) is not open for normal sale!

rox-kuryliw said on :

wonder what songs they will be doing ?

GT_85 said on :

Great promo pic, wished they could have used that on the single. ;)
Pro sieben, is that something many germans have?
Any news about an american release/promo campaign?

daniel_alv said on :

Since it’s a “time machine” maybe they play one wish and Joyride or another old song? That would be cool

Great News anyway that they are doing some PR!

Swedens Television (SVT) also celebrate 50 years this year, I hope Roxette comes to their party to.

Rox-Van said on :

yAHHOOOOOOoooo I’really happy for this!!!

sandyam said on :

So you are saying that it’s not really worth buying tickets and visit the show?
I am not sure if I should go. Anyone else?

ATLTK said on :

I´´m tempted to go but hows the tix???????

speedy said on :

Great news. Timer is already programed to record the show. :-) Hopefully they don’t cut out too much of Roxette.

And yes many Germans can receive Pro 7.

sandyam said on :

For buying tickets you can call a ticketline. The number can be founhd on the BRAVO site.

Sascha said on :

Here’s the direct link to the tickets: http://www.eventim.de/cgi-bin/TINFO.DLL?fun=TDetailB&id=EVE045571157045449B&doc=funktion/fun_deb_sta&key=201159$330789 (use the whole URL)

Many German fans are going to join this, see the topic at roxetteforum.com! Pro Sieben is one of the Top 5 TV channels in Germany, available for everyone. October 21 is a Saturday btw. :-)

Edit: Klick on “Saalplan” to see and buy available seats. It’s an indoor arena with 12,000 seats for this event. The inner area seems to be reserved for VIP guests. The closest to the stage is block U5 where most fans now are buying tickets. I can’t tell more bout this, never been there. Good luck!

ATLTK said on :

so its very far from the stage then?

Nox1983 said on :

Wonder if they will perform live...

pwbbounce (moderator) said on :

How weird is seeing the headling “Roxette to perform.....” WOW!!!!! It’s so amazing!!

whateveriam said on :

I know, but craporama I can’t go!

CRIZ said on :

AAAh..yeah! Thanx !! Hihi..Hamburg..yay..Hamburg...olé olé...Let us show you the Reeperbahn afterwards! ;)))

ncurran said on :

For a moment i did actually think about flying over to see Roxette for the first time on stage together in years, but to get tickets where i wouldnt get a very good view and they will only be singing 1 or 2 songs probably (also possibly miming) it doesnt really seem worth it.

pwbbounce (moderator) said on :

so did i Neil, but unless I knew they whould perform live for sure maybe.. but not playback.

Ferdan said on :

This appeared on the news, in Rock and Pop radio here in Argentina. One of the places where Roxette is certainly not popular.

substitute said on :

GREAT!!!ROXETTE IS BACK!!!!

Lars-Erik_Olson (moderator) said on :

This is expected to be a live performance... it’s quite a different situation from a television show like Bingolotto where there’s only a small studio.

Roxette not popular in Argentina?!? Don’t understand that comment... as Argentina is one of the countries most often mentioned as a stronghold for Roxette.

GT_85 said on :

He must have meant that they aren’t popular on that radio station or something, cos as you say, it’s not many countries in the world where Roxette have had such a succes, not only in the early 90’s, but also later.

Mr_Floppy said on :

10 years ago Roxette have been at the 40th anniversary show of BRAVO. They played “The Look”. Not sure if it was live or playback.

*walks off to check it*

Grasi said on :

Yeaaaahhh Brazil loves Roxette!!! :D

Didn´t know about O Globo, thanks Leo!

Actually there were only 3 Roxette songs featured in brazilian soap operas; but their sucess here is huge, mainly because of their ballads. Roxette still have a big audience here!

And, WOW... it´s fantastic to know Roxette will perform live again at this event!!! Amazing news!! Thanks TDR!

Ferdan said on :

Yeh, sorry... i meant the radio station.
Most of their listeners aren’t known for liking roxette.

Rainqueen said on :

I think, the seats are not far away from stage. I think, the middle area IS the stage. Because they have also talk-guests and they need room for the cameras an so on.....

Remember: it’s not a concert, it’s a TV-show. So I really think this is the reason why it’s not possible to buy tickets for the middle area.

Mr_Floppy said on :

Aahh, order is everything. Found it. Unfortunately it was playback.

ncurran said on :

I am really tempted....but ive already spent loads of money on concert tickets recently, and it just seems really extravagent to spend money on a flight, hotel and ticket, when they will prob only be on the stage for 10 mins

Zelda said on :

This is so cool!
Any plans for some BANNERS?
Anything like: Welcome Back ROXETTE!!!!

Would be very kind!

roxettevsoasis said on :

This is great news! Besides all the complaining I’ve read in the other comments/articles, this is a huge step for Roxette. My “One Wish” is that Roxette would perform on American T.V. once again (like the special they did for Fleetwood Mac). I’m not sure if this is okay (and I’d rather not “plug” another website) but if you’re looking for some great Roxette performances check out yourtube.com . They have a great performance of “Stars” and “WICF”. This is a great year for music. Artic Monkeys, the return of Oasis and now the best POP-ROCK band in the world, ROXETTE!!! In regards to everyone’s “one-wish-playlist” for the up-coming ROXBOX, I think we might be surprised. They, as a group or record company, don’t always tell you what’s on an entire album- sort of like a “hidden track”. We might just get what were wishing for. My biggest “wish” would be a remix of COY. I never understood why it was never released as a single, but then I realized some bands don’t always release all the “goods” off an album because it basically, for us! The fans that have been following them since “The Look”. I’ve been following music for years and have gotten many friends (who perfer Hard-Rock or Metal) to fall in love with Roxette’s sweeping ballads and uptempo gritty guitar singles. They are so damn catchy! Peace

GT_85 said on :

Roxette on Letterman or Leno would be super fantastic great. :)

substitute said on :

Roxette still has a lot of fans here in Argentina!
Mostly of the people know who they are at least.
My work mates like Roxette,they are asking me for news every day.I’ve shown them the video pic today,and they said: Roxette is getting old,but they even look GREAT!

Jud (moderator) said on :

I’m SO tempted to go to Hamburg :O

coyboyusa said on :

ok maybe now i will stop moaning about another hits package seeing as they can both promote it and emi seems to be somewhat on the ball this time...eher’e to hoping for top 20 for one wish :)

whateveriam said on :

I hope so too!

Roxryder-V2002 said on :

Peeps!!

Did you notice because i just did...

ROXETTE IS BACK!!!!!!!!

Fernanda-Brasil said on :

I’m soooooooooo happy to see them back. They will perform alive again. Owwwwwwwwww myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy it’s wonderful!!!
I love them!!!
Fernanda - São Paulo - Brasil

Hotblooded said on :

After the negativity surrounding the Rox Box it was nice to come on and read this news. Not so much for the fact that they are performing again but more that Marie is well enough to be on stage and willing to travel as part of Roxette surely this is a good sign for the future?

gessle-addict said on :

An article about Roxette’s comeback has been published today in Clarín, the most selling newspaper from Argentina. As a consequence, the article was read in many radio stations.

kriszta said on :

Fantastic news,ROXETTE LIVE AGAIN!

Go to http://www.50jahrebravo.de/online/render.php?render=026818

here is all BRavo cover,very great:)

grisu said on :

Hope I can still get tickets.
At the 40 years anniversary show Per and Marie performed The Look, but it was playback.
By the way, Marie was pregnant at that time.

Zargo said on :

I want that pic of them to be bigger!
I want them to do 24 songs, not 1 or 2!
I want them to perform ’Dancing on the nightwire’ and ’Turn to me’ in my backyard tomorrow night!

That’s the end of being a rox-fan for me!!

Peppermint said on :

Tix are already ordered!!!!!!!! YEEEEES!!!!!!!

pwbbounce (moderator) said on :

I did have a look at flights etc, but it’s gonna cost me around £500 and I can’t really justify that much money. God damn it!!! They better do a proper concert somewhere!! lol

Sascha said on :

Hope you all are realistic that Roxette will probably only perform 1 or 2 songs, maybe playback. They won’t perform 1/3 of the 3 hours. Though it’s great that so many fans plan to go there and give them a hot welcome! :-D

gyllene_tjej said on :

oh my...I remember these Bravo covers. Many of them I bought myself - for obvious reasons, lol ;)

Txiqui said on :

3 of the most important newspapers in spain have report about this! (ABC, El Pais, La Vanguardia), also 2 of the biggest spanish radio stations los 40 principales, and europa fm have been reporting about this since yesterday. Its great! roxette is everywhere again!!!

:))

RJ1976 said on :

This is all great news, but im still dissapointed and hope for a new Box

Sanglof said on :

Is this a sign for a tour? I mean, they obviously need to reherse (?) a hole band for this. I’ve never seen Roxette perform live with a band without a tour coming up or a tour just finished!

Peppermint said on :

I’m pretty sure it will be playback as it is usually done in this kind of shows...

tomos85 said on :

Of course, TOKIO HOTEL will also perform there....*lol*

m-cvk said on :

Will photocameras be allowed?

Edit: NCurran > come on over and join the party :-) Scots are cool ;-) Where in Scotland do you live?

whateveriam said on :

Photocameras, yeah I guess so, but not video ones...

ally77 said on :

lonely_girl said on :

Will watch it on TV - don’t have the money to go to Hamburg. It’s great anyway!

Kathrin said on :

My Mama allowed me to go with her and a Friend of mine to ,,50 Jahre Bravo!”
So that means I’m very excited to see Roxette!

AURYTE said on :

I’m so tempted to go there as well. Just to watch Per & Marie perform 2 songs.

ally77 said on :
