Roxette exclusive makes comeback in Sundsvall

Roxette make live comeback - in Sundsvall.
On 7 August at one of the world’s greatest pop band in the North Gate Arena.

There will be a musical festival on and around the stadium with tents, food and drink, “says organizer Anders’ Tjacka” Soderberg.

By Gatufest The General “Tjacka” Sundsvall has provided a series of major concerts in the 2000s - among other things, Elton John, Gyllene Tider and Rod Stewart performed at North Gate Arena in his house.

The issue is not about his latest booking surpasses most.

On 7 August will be one of the world by history’s greatest pop band to the stadium - Roxette.

Only two gigs in Sweden

And it is an exclusive gig - Roxette’s first in Sweden since 2001 - and also one of only two gigs that the band does at home.

- I’m incredibly happy. Roxette is a band that I have always wanted to stay, that’s one of the largest bands we have, “says Anders’ Tjacka” Soderberg “.

• Was it difficult to get through the nights?

- We have been working on this since last year and it’s many people who wanted them. That we succeeded because we have always done well when we organized these big concerts, the artists have been happy with our arrangement of boxes and transportation to the hotel.

- The arena is also very good as it is in the middle of town, something not available in most places in Sweden. In addition to the well is located in Sundsvall, Sweden in terms of the other scheduled gig.

“Tjackas’ view is that the concert August 7 is framed with a rich feast.

Apart from Roxette is the popular German rockabilly band The baseballs to practice and around the stadium to be built up tents with food, drinks, cover bands and guest artists.

- It should not just be a concert, there will be a musical festival in and around the stadium, says “Tjacka”.

The capacity of the stadium will be on 20 000 people and the event will be marketed in Sweden and in Norway.

Hoping for increased trade

The concert is presented in cooperation with the North Gate and both Tjacka property and hope the whole town will see positive effects.

- For us at the North Gate, it is important that all of Sundsvall can benefit from this kind of events. We hope to be understood fully booked hotels, crowded restaurants and increased trade during this weekend, “says Åsa Hansson, CIO at the north gate.

Tickets for the concert go on sale on Friday.

Would be very logical to add also Finland to the list already, please... Would like to know for sure if that will still happen or not, as I need to plan my summer vacation from work in about a week, and it’s so hard to decide... Should I go to Denmark, or to Sweden or should I still wait for possible concert in Finland (which wouldn’t necessary require vacation days if it’s on weekend...) hmm, difficult ;)

Good to see that two full concerts are planned on two consecutive days (August 7 and 8) and a few hunderd kilometres apart. It shows that they/Marie feel strong enough to take on such schedule - while they could also have picked shows that allow more rest- or travel periods in between. Another good sign that Rox comes back stronger and stronger!

Wow, Germany? Keeping my fingers crossed!
What more surprises do yo have for us, Roxette?

I was planning on maybe going to the Sundsvall show, but think I’ll hold off now to see if german dates are announced as I think I’d rather go there

Breathe8 said on April 26, 2010 17:57:

Has Marie Dimberg confirmed that german date?

tevensso (moderator) said on April 27, 2010 08:38:

I’ve rephrased Per’s answer. Maybe it’s clearer now.

Jud (moderator) said on April 30, 2010 05:25:

hm.. something went wrong with the deletion of comments, I wanted to delete the double comments by Tider12 and somehow not only did these disappear, also the ones below.. I think by ncurran. Sorry :S

PS: I think I may know why, the other comments were “linked” to the one I deleted.. I suppose. :S

Many years ago you came in Montreal (Canada) in March! I missed your concert...I was, at that time, about 15 or 16 years old (Now, I’m 33!). It would be nice, if you could come back in Montreal! This time, be sure I won’t miss it!!! You are one of my best group from ever! I usually speaks french, but I grew with your songs and it makes me learn english (maybe there is some mistakes ;o)...unusual way to learn english in a bilingual city!)...I can’t say my favorite song from your group because there’s so many...I can’t limit my choice to only one song...Per and Marie : Have a nice weekend! ;o)
