Roxette To Return To Australia In 2025

Roundhouse Entertainment, in conjunction with Mellen Events and Live Nation, is thrilled to announce legendary Swedish pop-rockers ROXETTE are returning to Australia for a national tour in March 2025, including two very special a day on the green events.

Nine years since their last Australian tour, Roxette In Concert will begin the Australian leg in Perth and tour the country before making a very welcome return to a day on the green, performing at Bimbadgen, Hunter Valley on Saturday 15 March and Sirromet Wines, Mount Cotton on Sunday 16 March, in what will be ROXETTE’s only Queensland show.

Joining ROXETTE at their a day on the green concerts will be two very special guests – rock legend JON STEVENS and hit machine BOOM CRASH OPERA.

Tickets on sale on Friday 10 May at 10.00am local time via Ticketmaster.

In 2016 ROXETTE did what we believed were their last ever concerts.

Now, the duo’s frontman, songwriter and founder Per Gessle picks up the torch and takes this bundle of worldwide hits on the road again.

It’s almost five years since ROXETTE lost Marie Fredriksson to cancer. A devastating loss that left family, friends and fans in grief.

Their legacy of songs has continued to thrive, being constantly streamed, played, and enjoyed by old and new supporters around the world.

The super Swedes were a hit-making machine in Australia with 4 x Top 3 albums with Look Sharp!, Joyride, Tourism and Crash!Boom!Bang!, hit songs Dressed For Success, Listen To Your Heart, Dangerous, Fading Like A Flower, and number one singles The Look, It Must Have Been Love and Joyride.

2025 will see a live revival of this massive catalogue, all penned by Per Gessle, when he takes the ROXETTE band back on stage to do what he loves most – perform his songs live in front of a dedicated audience.

Per and the ROXETTE band will be joined on stage by Swedish singer and megastar Ms Lena Philipsson.

Per says: “This is all about my Roxette songs, this huge bundle of music and lyrics I’ve been writing for well over three decades. I’m not starting a new duo. Marie will always be irreplaceable. However, I’m really lucky to have found an amazing voice and a brilliant performer in Lena Philipsson.

“I co-wrote Lena’s first major hit back in 1986 and she’s one of the brightest shining stars Sweden has ever known. I’m extremely proud she wants to join me in my trek to keep the Roxette legacy alive.”

Lena says: “I’m both excited and thrilled about embarking on this tour. I really look forward to working with Per – he is a phenomenal songwriter and a never-ending musical force.”
