Swedish pop-rockers Roxette will make a very welcome return to Melbourne in March 2025!
In 2016, Roxette performed what we believed were the 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.
2025 will see a live revival of this massive catalogue, all penned by Per Gessle, when he takes the Roxette band back on stage. Per and the Roxette band will be joined on stage by Swedish singer and megastar Lena Philipsson.
Opening for Roxette will be an Aussie pop-rock superstars, Boom Crash Opera.

Plan Your Visit
Roxette
Roxette – Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle – came out of Sweden in the late 80’s. Their game was pop, and their mission was to conquer the world. With 33 chart-busting singles and total record sales exceeding 90 million, it seems safe to say “mission accomplished”.
They entered the world of pop with “The Look” in 1989, followed up with the mighty ballad “Listen To Your Heart” the same year, the classic “It Must Have Been Love” in 1990, the über-platinum “Joyride” album in 1991, and their first World Tour. For the next ten years they were on top of the charts somewhere in the world, the constant flow of hit singles and albums resulting in staggering record sales.
On December 9 2019, Marie Fredriksson’s 17-year-long battle with cancer came to an end and she sadly passed away. Roxette’s legacy is forever written in the hearts of generations of music lovers around the globe; past, present and those to come.
SUPPORT
Boom Crash Opera
Originally a five-piece formed in Melbourne in 1985, Australian rock band Boom Crash Opera, like many before them, got their grounding from the pub rock circuit.
Power vocalist Dale Ryder was backed by trademark chant style vocals from the other bandmembers, including group co-founders and writing partners guitarist/bassist Richard Pleasance and guitarist Peter Farnan (credited also as executive producers), alongside producer Alex Sadkin, who tragically died shortly after he finished working on the band’s 1987 self-titled debut.
Keyboardist Greg O’Connor and drummer Peter Maslen completed the BCO lineup.
