Roxette, the Swedish duo consisting of Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson, announced earlier this month that they would reunite after seven years. The Spectrum channel's Nordic Rox show, SIRIUS XM's exclusive Scandinavian music show, will broadcast several songs the duo recently performed together in Stockholm on May 10, 2009. Nordic Rox, which Gessle hosts regularly, airs weekly on Sunday nights at 8:00 pm ET on SIRIUS XM's The Spectrum.

During the Roxette reunion special on The Spectrum, SIRIUS XM listeners will also hear a broadcast of Gessle's recent performance in London. The exclusive airing of the recent performance will feature Gessle performing both solo songs as well as Roxette favorites.

Each week, Nordic Rox turns the spotlight on the quality and depth of Scandinavian music, expanding upon the success of established as well as up-and-coming artists ranging from ABBA and Cardigans to The Hives and The Sounds among many others. The specialty program has become the destination of music fans in the U.S. to hear exciting new music emanating from Scandinavia.

Additionally, every day between Monday, June 1 and Thursday, June 4, SIRIUS XM's The Pulse channel, SIRIUS channel 12 and XM channel 26, will broadcast a Roxette special, including a conversation with Per Gessle discussing the group's reunion and their recent live performances.

SIRIUS XM's '90s on 9 channel, SIRIUS and XM channel 9, will also celebrate Roxette's reunion by devoting the weekend of May 29 to the iconic group. Every day from Friday, May 29 through Sunday, May 31 listeners will hear Gessle personally introduce and share stories about Roxette's biggest hits including "It Must Have Been Love" and "The Look."
