On November 7, 2001, the Swedish super duo Roxette held a concert at the Olympic Stadium (Olimpiyskiy) with a capacity of 15,000 in Moscow. This event was part of the European Tour to present their new album, Room Service. The organizer of this concert was the JSA Promoter team in collaboration with Thomas Johansson/EMA TELSTAR.
Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle flew on a private jet to Moscow on the morning of the concert day. Upon their arrival at Sheremetyevo Airport, it was discovered that Per had forgotten his passport at home. Fortunately, the JSA team had a good relationship with the Swedish embassy in Russia. They reported this funny case to the ambassador, who was able to quickly arrive at the airport and issue a new passport for Per to enter the country. Everything went well, and the duo managed to attend the planned press conference with the media at the Olimpiysky.
Despite a six-year break on tour, the musicians performed an excellent concert of quality pop music. The show had great success. The audience heard new songs from the last album and all the powerful hits of the duet. After the main program, the musicians played five additional songs as an encore.
Marie Fredriksson, Per Gessle, and Thomas Johansson were pleased with the excellent work of the JSA Promoter team.
