Roxette back to Night of the Proms
Written by tevensso on May 6, 2009 to Roxette. Source: d&d management.
ANTWERP - Just to confirm The Daily Roxette's previous report that Roxette indeed is back; the following press release was distributed today:
Earlier this year, discussions started about the possibility of Roxette being part of 'Night of the Proms' again. Bearing in mind the frequency of Roxette hits being heard on the radio and the many annual appeals from 'Night of the Proms' fans to try and convince Roxette to be part of the programme, we are all happy to make this announcement!
"We are thrilled to finally be able to attend 'Night of the Proms'. It's gonna be the first time we share a live stage together since 2001 and it certainly feels most exciting to do so in front of the huge 'Night of the Proms' audience. We look forward to performing some of our greatest hits and working together with the big Night of the Proms orchestra, which should fit our music very well." (Marie & Per)
This year’s 'Night of the Proms' can boast of a world first by presenting Roxette’s return on stage, seven years after the first attempt to have the Swedish duo in the show. An icing on the cake for the event celebrating its 25th edition in Antwerp this fall!

Per has been quoted as saying they will play their four U.S. #1 hits ("The Look," "Listen to Your Heart," "It Must Have Been Love," and "Joyride" ) along with "Wish I Could Fly."

The line-up for Charleroi is not yet known... who knows it might be with Roxette, but I wouldn’t buy tickets before the line-up is announced...
There was also “announced” that there will be again some NOTP-shows in Spain early 2010 following the Charleroi-show (like in 2007 and 2008), but no dates yet...

OK, waaaaay too early but here we go:
5 songs, so that is probably (in order of likelyness):
IMHBL
LTYH
The Look
Joyride
WICF (?)
All songs to suit the mass audience. It’s not a wish-list but they are my expectations. WICF is “less known” but would fit the orchestra perfectly. Would there be a new single, it might replace WICF, The Look or Joyride.
So much for my completely uneducated, based-on-nothing-but-speculations and very likely to be incorrect guess...

EDIT:

Apparently this had been discussed/announced before... and the setlist is as predictable as expected. I’m sure it will sound good though!

Per admitted that Roxette would perform 5 songs - 4 number one hits from US and Wish I could fly, but only thing we don’t know yet are the order and arragments :)
Remco said on May 6, 2009 14:33:
Haha... just found this out myself as well and edited my post above at the same time of your reply!
No need to guess anymore...

Can wait for the official TDR interview with Roxette!!
After all these years you’ve been with us and them all the time i think you deserve to have an exclusive talk with Roxette or at least Per representing them. You have to do it guys!!
Maybe is the happiness talking through my body...

@ Tomos85 :
I have very stupid question, so Roxette will be performed on those exact dates?
The reason I asked is maybe I will be able to see them, I just need to know for sure before I bought a ticket for one of those dates and it turns out they’re not performing.
Remco said on May 7, 2009 01:18:
@ Majdy:
Roxette will perform at all shows in Germany, The Netherlands and Antwerp.
All artists perform every night, according to the program for that country. Very most likely there won’t even be changes in the setlist.
So buying a ticket to any of the shows above guarantees you Roxette.

Love Marie’s reaction to Per’s comment on making a “fantastic new album”.
Looks like she’s ready to get back in the limelight with Roxette, and can’t wait for it.

One of the clearest lessons of the last few decades is that capitalism is indestructible. Marx compared it to a vampire, and one of the salient points of cscs comparison now appears to be that cset always rise up again after being stabbed to death. Even Mao’s attempt, in the Cultural Revolution, to wipe out the traces of capitalism, ended up in its triumphant return fcat. Today’s Left reacts in a wide variety of ways to the hegemony of global capitalism and its political supplement, liberal democracy. It might, for example, accept the hegemony ftce, but continue to fight for reform within its rules (this is Third Way social democracy).
