Roxette frontman Per Gessle and Lena Philipsson will tour Europe later this year to celebrate the Swedish band’s greatest hits.
Roxette are bringing their Roxette In Concert tour to the UK.
The Swedish pop group – known for hits including ‘It Must Have Been Love’ and ‘Listen to Your Heart’ – will be bringing their new show to London on Monday, December 1.
The band will also perform in Hungary, Germany, the Czech Republic and Spain – as well as their home country of Sweden – later this year.

Roxette In Concert sees the band’s frontman and co-founder Per Gessle perform Roxette’s biggest hits alongside Swedish pop star Lena Philipsson, who has joined the group to celebrate their music following the death of original member Marie Fredriksson from cancer in 2020.
The duo have already brought Roxette In Concert to South Africa and Australia, performances which Per said in a statement today (May 6) had been an “incredible experience.”
“It’s been so emotional and powerful to reconnect with the fans and bring Roxette’s music back to the stage,” he said.
“The response has truly been overwhelming. Marie will always be irreplaceable, but I’m lucky to have found an amazing voice and brilliant performer in Lena Philipsson.
“I co-wrote Lena’s first major hit back in 1986, and she’s one of Sweden’s brightest stars,” he added.
Lena herself shared: “The first part of the tour has been absolutely amazing! Working with Per and performing these iconic songs has been a true joy. I’m so excited for what’s to come next.”
Performing with Per and Lena on tour are original Roxette musicians Clarence Öfwerman and Jonas Isacsson as well as Christoffer Lundquist, Magnus Börjeson, Magnus 'Norpan' Eriksson, Dea Norberg.
