A Roxette Australian Tour 2015 has been announced with the Swedish pop rock duo hitting shores for national arena dates and shows for Day On The Green.

Returning Down Under following their 2011/12 World Tour, Roxette – Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle – are celebrating the 25th Anniversary of their chart-topping hit ‘The Look’ (reaching #1 on the US Billboard Charts in 1989) with another global trek, which will see the pair hitting Australia next February, joined on all shows by special Aussie guests boom Crash Opera.

The Roxette Australian Tour 2015 will begin in Brisbane, before taking in Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Wollongong and Sydney. The chart-busting Swedes will also play two special A Day On The Green winery concerts in regional Victoria and New South Wales, joined by a lineup featuring Boom Crash Opera, fellow Aussie rockers Dragon and Eurogliders.

First formed in 1986, Roxette went on to become one of Sweden’s biggest music exports, amassing more than 75 million album sales worldwide to date off the back of a string of recognisable hits such as ‘Listen To Your Heart’, ‘How Do You Do’, ‘Spending My Time’, ‘Dangerous’, ‘Almost Unreal’, ‘Fading Like A Flower’, and many more.

A trio of Roxette singles – ‘It Must Have Been Love’, ‘Joyride’, and ‘The Look’ – all topped the Australian charts while five of their records have reached the Top 10 on the ARIA album charts over the course of their career.

“We are beyond thrilled to head back to Australia, a stunning country with beautiful fans who have remained some of our most loyal supporters over the last 25 years,” says Per Gessle in a statement. “Marie, the band and I are ready and raring to go with a brand new show full of our best hits and a few surprises.”

Though it’s a full nine months away, tickets for the Roxette Australian Tour 2015 go on sale later this month, at 9am Tuesday 27th May. Members of My Live Nation, who are presenting the tour, will be among the first to gain access to tickets with a pre-sale beginning 10am Wednesday 21st May (you can still sign up at www.livenation.com.au).

Listen to your heart, and make sure you don’t miss Roxette’s Australian return.
