2026 marks 40 years since Roxette released their debut album and launched one of the most successful international careers in Swedish pop history. To celebrate, the global pop powerhouse will tour North America this fall in their new and celebrated form, performing timeless hits including “The Look,” “Listen to Your Heart,” “Joyride,” and “It Must Have Been Love,” which recently surpassed one billion streams on Spotify. With over 80 million albums sold and countless number-one hits across Europe, the U.S., Latin America, and Asia, Roxette remains the Swedish act with the most US Billboard No. 1 singles – four in total.The 14-city tour kicks off Thursday, September 10 at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI, with stops across North America.
After what were believed to be Roxette’s final shows in 2016, few expected the music to return to the stage in this way. Nearly six years after the heartbreaking loss of Marie Fredriksson – deeply felt by fans around the world – Per Gessle has reignited the flame. Joined by Sweden’s beloved artist Lena Philipsson, he brings the legacy back on tour for a new era. More than four decades on, Roxette’s music continues to unite longtime fans and win over new audiences around the world. The 2026 anniversary tour celebrates the band’s lasting impact and legendary catalog. Special guests Taylor Dayne and Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets will join Roxette on tour as support.
The tour kicks off right here in Michigan at the Pine Knob Music Theatre on September 10th. For ore on this event click here.
