Roxette UK The Tribute Show

A tribute show devoted to Roxette, the Swedish pop rock duo, performed in St Helens at The Citadel. Roxette UK The Tribute Show is a tribute act, not the original band.

Roxette UK The Tribute Show honours Roxette, the Swedish pop rock duo whose career spanned the 1980s and 1990s. The performers are Libbi, who takes the role of the late Marie Fredriksson, and Matt Black, who takes the role of Per Gessle. Both are tribute performers, and the show makes clear that the material is a homage to the original act.

The set draws on Roxette's catalogue, with songs including The Look, Joyride, Must Have Been Love, Dressed For Success, Fading Like A Flower, Dangerous, Crash Boom Bang and Almost Unreal. The programme moves between fast, anthemic numbers and slower, melodic ballads, so the evening follows the band's career across two decades rather than a single period.

The Citadel in St Helens hosts concerts and shows. The evening will suit listeners who know Roxette's pop and rock songs and want to hear them performed live.
