About Roxette

Born from the creative synergy of singer Marie Fredriksson and guitarist Per Gessle, Roxette emerged from Sweden in the late 1980s to conquer the global music charts with their distinctive blend of pop, rock, and ballads. Their breakthrough came in 1988 with the release of their second album, Look Sharp!, which spawned the international smash hit ‘The Look’. This was swiftly followed by a string of chart-topping singles that cemented their status as pop-rock titans.

The 1990s saw Roxette reach stratospheric heights. Their 1991 album, Joyride, produced the anthemic title track, alongside the poignant ballad ‘Spending My Time’ and the universally adored ‘Fading Like a Flower (Everytime You Leave)’. The following year, their song ‘It Must Have Been Love’ from the Pretty Woman soundtrack became a global phenomenon, a testament to their ability to craft emotionally resonant and universally appealing music. Throughout their career, Roxette masterfully navigated the landscape of popular music, consistently delivering a catalogue of songs that are both instantly recognisable and enduringly popular. Hits such as ‘Listen to Your Heart’, ‘Dangerous’, ‘Dressed for Success’, and ‘Crash! Boom! Bang!’ are just a fraction of the memorable tunes that showcase their songwriting prowess and their knack for creating infectious hooks. Their music possesses an innate ability to evoke a sense of joyful nostalgia, coupled with a raw, heartfelt emotionality that resonates deeply with listeners. Even after Marie Fredriksson’s tragic passing in 2018, the legacy of Roxette continues to shine brightly, with Per Gessle honouring their shared musical journey. This performance at the Tempodrom is a heartfelt tribute to the duo’s unparalleled contribution to pop music.
