Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle will bring their hits to Australia in February.

Roxette were one of the biggest pop bands of the early 90s with songs like ‘The Look’, ‘Joyride’ and ‘It Must Have Been Loved’.

They were one of Sweden’s biggest exports, rivaling Abba in America. “The concerts have been amazing so far,” says Per Gessle. “Marie and the band are in top shape and the response has been incredible. And the way the new album has been received is great. We feel very fortunate and look forward to a very exciting year!”

Dates are:

February 14, Brisbane, Entertainment Centre
February 17 and 18, Sydney, Entertainment Centre
February 18, Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena
February 20, Adelaide, Entertainment Centre
February 23, Perth, Challenge Stadium
