No longer just the dream of die-hard fans: Roxette are back!
LONDON (Updated) - No longer just the dream of die-hard fans around the world who will surely feel their prayers for Marie's recovery were answered: Roxette are back!
The Daily Roxette has learned that Marie Fredriksson will be joining Per Gessle on stage at the “Party Crasher” concert in Amsterdam on Wednesday. For several days now, fans have told TDR that people affiliated with the tour have told them to expect a “surprise” at that concert. Since Per has already said he expected Marie might join him on stage for one or two of his tour dates, fans who heard about this upcoming surprise immediately surmised that it meant that Marie would be making an appearance. This indeed will be the case.
There, in Amsterdam, in front of one of the largest expected audiences on this tour… fans in attendance will be able to witness first-hand the long awaited, highly anticipated return of Roxette to the stage when Per proudly announces he has a special guest.
But the real evidence of Roxette's return is that tomorrow afternoon shortly after 5 pm, at an official Night of the Proms press conference in Belgium, they will announce that Marie has recovered from the illness that forced them to cancel their scheduled appearance in 2002. Seven years later, Roxette will finally make good on that previous commitment and perform at this year’s series of concerts to be held in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands beginning at the end of October and running through December.

Fantastic!!! If Per and Marie were looking to make my birthday memorable... this does it!!!! Roxette rox on!!!!
abysmo said on May 4, 2009 17:45:
There were times I wouldn’t believe this could happen. These are really extremelly strange, some kind of magical feelings I’m feeliing right now. Some kind of fairy-tale dreams, which comes true.
Many thanks to Per and especially to Marie, that she made this fairy tale became true. What a woman.

“Let’s just hope that Marie can really handle this.”
I don’t think she’d say yes if she wasn’t confident. Hats off to the lady with the thunderstorm voice!!
Just saved ticket for NOTP/Dortmund. :-)
Jud (moderator) said on May 4, 2009 18:32:
haha surprise!!! Not really :D
We at German forum have known this might be a possibility since April 18th ;) More and more hints came in between.. Kiwein, we guessed right!!!!

I remember Marie was telling that she does not want any type of stress either positive or negative. And that is the thing, I can only imaging how much emotions there will be from the fans and how that will feel for her. Obviously, everyone in Stockholm wished her appearance as well, especially to have it on the DVD. Maybe the show in Holland will be filmed as well?

Roxette-fan said on May 4, 2009 18:40:
The press conference is at 17.05 p.m. according to the site of NOTP.
I just bought tickets for Rotterdam.
I can’t make it to Per’s concert in Amsterdam, so I have to wait so long :-((
Kiwein1 said on May 4, 2009 18:41:
Yes Judith, we did. So in the end I’m not surprised at all to be hones. ;-) I already got my tickets 10 days ago. ;D

Roxette forever! Marie you are f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c!!!!!!!!!!
Jud (moderator) said on May 4, 2009 18:47:
got the tickets yesterday ;)
And all thanks to a dumb mistake hidden in a HTML code at notp-fanpage.de!! Hadn’t they written, hidden in the code, that Roxette will be the main act, nobody would have found out ahead of time.

@Judith: I’m glad you posted a translated summary of all of the rumours from the German forum on mariefredriksson.net for all of us non-German speaking fans... I’ve been crossing my fingers for weeks that these rumours would turn out to be true (and they seemed to be based on really great evidence - like the “hidden” HTML code stuff)... and now they are!!! So thanks for sharing with us!
Jud (moderator) said on May 4, 2009 19:09:
thanks to the German fans who found the code and shared it in their forum :)

When I read “Roxette are back” I supposed it would be a something like a new album. Or a new single at least. But no, it’s just Marie joining a Per concert to sing 1 or 2 (old) songs, maybe 3.
Bleh... not very exciting.

To the others about the code:

you will find the code and screenshot of the google search :) Scroll till the middle of the screen, where it says “Roxette bei Nokia Night of the Proms?” :)
this was the code HIDDEN in the notp-fanpage.de
.id=”final” style=”display: none; text-align:center;”>
Die Künstler der Night of the Proms 2009 stehen fest: ROXETTE, ALAN PARSONS, HEAVEN 17, KANTONA TWINS und JOHN MILES...

Jud (moderator) said on May 4, 2009 20:21:
!!!!! I still don’t understand that one can make such a mistake, hidden HTML code is searchable in Google! :) Good for us though :))
Ah well, it’s anyway a great surprise, and it helped some fans a little bit to get tickets before it’s officially announced. Tickets are on sale since December 08 and many for first rows are sold out (where there is no standing places), so at least some fans could buy more or less good tickets before everybody rushes to get them tomorrow.
Have a great time in Amsterdam :)

What I really DON’T understand is that they are still trying to tell me that it was just a coincidence that they put all the bands in the hidden source code. It’s silly really ;-) I didn’t believe in that story from day 1. It was just a terrible mistake they couldn’t get right afterwards. I hope they do better in hiding next year. They’re only a fanpage but they KNEW the artists from the start. It’s just about fooling people. Well, good for us.
I am happy now! I always wanted to hear LTYH (hope they’ll play it) with a big orchestra.

I have ever wondered how Roxette’s NOTP 2002 orchestra versions could have sounded. If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands. I’m happy indeed. :D
ncurran said on May 4, 2009 23:21:
Fantastic news about NOTP. Will try and go to a few gigs. The London gig was great tonight.....a shame marie didnt make an appearance here though, it would have made it perfect. Cant make the amsterdam gig because of work. I wonder if she will make an appearance in stockholm as well?! I have a ticket for saturday, but still undecided if i am going yet
Hotblooded said on May 4, 2009 23:47:
WOW this is great, great news but very depressing at the same time you see I live in another galaxy called Sydney, Australia!!! ;) So the chances of going this year are very slim :( Still the best thing is that Marie feels well enough to do this and I never would have believed this possible in 2002 when she was diagnosed with the tumour. I hope it all goes well for them and that we might get a DVD :)
Exciting times for Rox fans, makes me feel 15 again ;)
Thank you GOD :)

Ronney said on May 5, 2009 07:07:
I don’t think there will be a new single because of the NOTP. Most artists who perform in the NOTP have a long history behind them. Somehow it shows that you’re finished...
I don’t mind though, ’cause it’s great to have Roxette doing the NOTP!! I resold my tickets in 2002, perfect to get a second chance!!

RobS said on May 5, 2009 08:00:
Great news!
Always wanted to hear what the NOTP versions would have sounded like, now we finally can.
Quick question, do we have any idea if the Amsterdam show will be Marie on a few songs, or Per introducing Marie at the start, and it almost being a Roxette show?
steven said on May 5, 2009 08:04:
Listening to Roxette perform with a full orchestral backing at NOTP would be fab. London gig was awesome btw :)
Lars-Erik_Olson (moderator) said on May 5, 2009 08:11:
@RobS – One, possibly two songs. “Wish I Could Fly” would be my guess, unless they add something not on the current set list, as this is the song Per introduces as “a song I wrote for Miss Marie Fredriksson, who unfortunately couldn’t be with us here tonight.”
Kiwein1 said on May 5, 2009 08:57:
At the beginning of the tour he said: “a song I wrote for Marie Fredriksson, one of my favourite singers in the world..”

So great to be a Rox fan right now!!
CHS said on May 5, 2009 12:39:
Oh wow. This is great news. How will I be able to work with all this anticipation for the concert tomorrow?
I wonder what songs Marie will perform. Will she simply take over some of the songs from Per, or will they add certain songs to the line-up? Soul Deep, maybe?
abysmo said on May 5, 2009 13:07:
I think that best female singer under the sun should sing best ballad under the sun - so Marie should sing Wish I Could Fly. :-)

Roxlander said on May 5, 2009 13:31:
These are great news!!! I’m so happy, specially because this time I may see them on stage again, something I didn’t think possible. If things go right, this may be my chance. I’ll pray for it ;)

I bought tickets to the cologne and dortmund gigs. I would quite like to get tickets for either belgium or holland as well, but does anyone know how to order them with credit card? The only ticket agency I can find is teleticketservice.com and it looks like there is only the option to order now, pay later, which would be fine, but it seems that you need to be in the home country from what i could gather
abysmo said on May 5, 2009 20:06:
Per promised new songs in HR3 interview, joked to write them in the waiting times on tour.
So probably new album is on the way. Hey, what about title “Miracles Happens”. ;-)
______________
ncurran said on May 5, 2009 20:39:
Even if it may now be a possibility for new roxette material, I dont think it will happen before NOTP. Obviously the remastered albums are the planned release to coincide with this tour. I suppose there is the remote possibility that they will record a couple of new songs as bonus material for the fans on these discs, but it is more likely that it will be all old demos and b-sides.
abysmo said on May 5, 2009 20:57:
Maybe one new single during late summer / early autumn followed with new album soonest in the spring 2010, but more probably during autumn 2010. I hope so.

Roxette reunites for European tour dates
STOCKHOLM (AP) — The managers of 1980s pop sensation Roxette say the Swedish band will reunite for a small European tour starting in October.
D & D Management says Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson will play live together for the first time since 2001 at the ’Night of the Proms’ touring festival in Antwerp, Belgium.
It will then tour with the festival to a number of sites in the Netherlands and Germany.
Roxette rose to international stardom in the late 1980s with hits such as ’It Must Have Been Love’ and ’The Look.’ The band stopped performing when Fredriksson was treated for a brain tumor and hasn’t returned to stage until now.
In a Tuesday statement the two band members said they looked forward to performing some of their greatest hits again.

Unless I overlooked it being mentioned... but I noticed this on the Dutch NOTP site:
“Eerder dit jaar knoopte het management van het duo zélf gesprekken met de Promsorganisatoren aan over de mogelijkheid om Roxette opnieuw op het programma te plaatsen.”

“Earlier this year the management of the duo themselves approached the NOTP-organisers about the possibilities of including Roxette in the lineup again.”
I was surprised to read this, but it confirms the idea that this is the perfect occasion to reach a huge audience for the reunification without doing a full Roxette-tour. Very happy to see that the initiative to go on tour came from Sweden, and not because of the request of NOTP. It shows that they really wanted to go performing again!

I don’t have time to read all the replies... but most people have known about this since the Koln concert... and also about Marie in Amsterdam when a certain guitarist let slip the Amsterdam show would BE EXTRA SPECIAL... hence why people decided to flock to Amsterdam!
Lars gave me the news officially in the venue in London that he’d just published the story... so I had the pleasure of starting the gossip train in the venue! :)

Anyone any idea:
How many songs will Roxette perform there?
They will everywhere?
ROX ON!!!

They’ll perform 5 songs. Read more details from the radio report: http://roxetteblog.com/
German tour manager Dirk Hohmeyer said they were surprised to get a phone call from Sweden some weeks ago: Roxette wanted to return where they left!
This comeback at NOTP must have big symbolic meaning for Marie. :-)
