Roxette, the celebrated Swedish pop-rock group, is embarking on a North American tour to commemorate their 40th anniversary. The tour commences on September 10, 2026, with a highly anticipated concert at the Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan. This marks the band's first performance in the Detroit area since 1992, a gap of 34 years.
Led by founding guitarist and songwriter Per Gessle, the current iteration of Roxette features prominent Swedish singer Lena Philipsson on lead vocals. Together, they will perform a catalog of beloved hits that defined an era, including "The Look," "Listen to Your Heart," "Joyride," and the recently billion-streamed ballad "It Must Have Been Love."
The 14-stop North American leg of the tour includes performances across the United States and Canada, kicking off in Michigan before heading to cities like Toronto, Philadelphia, Dallas, and Los Angeles. This tour signifies a new chapter for the band, keeping their music alive nearly six years after the passing of original lead singer Marie Fredriksson in 2018.
