Overview

  • Per Gessle will take the stage with Lena Philipsson in Munich on June 23 in the first German performance since Marie Frederiksson’s passing in 2019.
  • The tour, launched in February across South Africa and Australia, received enthusiastic acclaim for Philipsson’s seamless integration into Roxette’s repertoire.
  • Philipsson will interpret Roxette classics in her own style rather than imitating Frederiksson’s distinctive vocals.
  • Gessle insists this partnership is not a new duo but a continuation of the three-decade body of work he created under the Roxette name.
  • Further German shows are scheduled for November in cities such as Leipzig, Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Nürnberg.
