Roxette is a Swedish pop-rock duo founded in 1986 by songwriter Per Gessle and vocalist Marie Fredriksson (1958-2019). Their 1988 breakthrough album Look Sharp! launched four US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles - "The Look", "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love" and "Joyride" - and the duo went on to sell between 75 and 80 million records worldwide, making them Sweden's best-selling act after ABBA. Following Fredriksson's death in December 2019, Gessle reformed the band in 2025 with Swedish singer Lena Philipsson on lead vocals, continuing to tour the classic catalogue.
"It Must Have Been Love" surpassed one billion streams on Spotify, making Roxette - alongside ABBA - the only Swedish act with a pre-2000 song in Spotify's Billions Club.
Roxette announced a 14-city North American 40th Anniversary Tour for fall 2026, with stops including Toronto, Montreal, Los Angeles, Dallas and Philadelphia.
The 2025 'Roxette in Concert' world tour, led by Per Gessle with Lena Philipsson on vocals, completed 43 concerts across South Africa, Australia and Europe, continuing into 2026.
A 3-CD box set ROX RMX (Remixes from the Roxette Vaults) was released in September 2024.
The jukebox musical Joyride the Musical, based on Roxette's songs and Jane Fallon's novel Got You Back, premiered at Malmö Opera in September 2024 and ran until April 2025.
