Roxette UK is widely recognised as the leading tribute act for the iconic Swedish pop\u2013rock duo that swept the airwaves starting in 1986. This will be the band\u2019s first appearance in Estonia, with three nights of great music by Roxette. The first night will be 3 April in Tallinn, followed by 4 April in J\u00f5hvi, and then 5 April in Tartu.<\/p>\n
This live tribute show is entirely dedicated to Roxette, so audiences can expect a night full of nostalgia and the great feelings associated with earlier times in our lives. Songs such as \u201cThe Look\u201d, \u201cJoyride\u201d, \u201cListen to Your Heart\u201d, and \u201cIt Must Have Been Love\u201d will certainly be on the setlist.<\/p>\n
Originally formed in 1986 by Marie Fredriksson<\/b> and Per Gessle<\/b>, who were already established musicians in Sweden, Roxette was an instant success\u2014you could even say they were dressed for it\u2014as a supergroup. Their international breakthrough came just two years later with the release of \u201cLook Sharp!\u201d in 1988. The band went on to release four number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in as many years.<\/p>\n
Roxette UK will be fronted by Libby Cooper <\/b>as Marie, and Matt Black<\/b> as Per. Both musicians are well-known for capturing the style and charisma of the original duo, and bringing that raw energy to the stage to the delight of audiences. Sadly, the actual band lost Marie in 2019, but Per has hired Lena Philipsson<\/b> as her replacement for their 2025\u201326 tour in South America and Western Europe, plus other locations.<\/p>\n
