Roxette Ticket Sales Launch Today: Budapest Gets Ready for an Unforgettable Night
Today marks a milestone for music fans in Budapest and beyond: ticket sales for the highly anticipated Roxette In Concert show at Budapest Arena are officially open. If you’ve ever dreamed of hearing Roxette’s timeless hits live, now is your chance-this is more than just a concert; it’s a celebration of music, legacy, and the enduring power of pop.
The Return We Thought Would Never Come
Back in 2016, when Roxette played what many believed would be their final shows, fans around the world said a bittersweet goodbye. The loss of Marie Fredriksson in 2019 left a void that seemed impossible to fill. Yet, the magic of Roxette was never just about one moment in time-it’s about the songs, the memories, and the way their music continues to bring people together.
Now, in 2025, Per Gessle has reignited the Roxette flame, inviting Swedish pop star Lena Philipsson to join him on stage. Their chemistry is undeniable, their performances powerful, and together they are breathing new life into the Roxette legacy. The first leg of the tour has already swept through South Africa and Australia, with over 75,000 fans singing along to every word, proving that Roxette’s music is as vital and beloved as ever.

Why Budapest Is the Place to Be
Budapest isn’t just another stop on the tour-it’s the first European city to welcome Roxette back to the big stage. On November 4, the Budapest Arena will come alive with the sound of hits like It Must Have Been Love, Listen to Your Heart, Joyride, and so many more. The anticipation is palpable, with fans eager to experience the energy, nostalgia, and joy that only a Roxette concert can deliver.
Critics have already hailed the new show as one of the best live events of the year. The setlist is a masterclass in pop songwriting, blending sweeping ballads with high-energy anthems. The encore brings peak nostalgia, with songs that have been the soundtrack to countless lives. As one reviewer put it, more than just a concert, it was a reminder of what live music is supposed to be: uplifting, electric, and unforgettable.
A Band of Legends, A Night of Memories
The 2025 tour reunites not only Per and Lena but also a stellar lineup of musicians who have helped shape Roxette’s sound over the decades. Original band members Clarence Öfwerman and Jonas Isacsson are joined by Christoffer Lundquist, Magnus Börjeson, Magnus Norpan Eriksson, and Dea Norberg. This ensemble ensures that every note rings true, every chorus soars, and every song feels like coming home.
Per Gessle himself has spoken about the emotional journey of bringing Roxette back to the stage: It’s been so emotional and powerful to reconnect with the fans and bring Roxette’s music back to the stage. Marie will always be irreplaceable, but I’m lucky to have found an amazing voice and brilliant performer in Lena Philipsson.
Lena, too, is thrilled: Working with Per and performing these iconic songs has been a true joy. I’m so excited for what’s to come next.
