Anyway, a bonus is that there will be a series of photographs from both shows uploaded soon. In the meantime, you can follow this link to see some photographs taken at the Madison Square Garden Theatre in New York by John Dillon (hello, John!). Oh, and by the way, you can buy tickets for Copenhagen by following this link. |

| 6th July 2001 Roxy will play another date in Germany in Stuttgart. For more information go here. Negotiations are on-going about more dates in Europe and elsewhere (although the 'elsewhere' won't be of interest to anyone in the UK, Europe or North America - or Australia and Japan for that matter). |

| 29th June 2001 We can confirm that the Perth date will be on Sunday 19th August. Tickets for all Australian dates go on sale on Friday, 6th July. |
| 24th June 2001 Details of the Australian dates are now available here. Please note that the Australian promoter has inaccurate information about Perth giving the date as Saturday 19th August. The 19th August is a Sunday. We are assuming Sunday for Perth given the travelling time for the crew from Adelaide. |
| 21st June 2001 We hope to be able to sell Roxy merchandise on line at the manzanera.com shop soon. More details as soon as we have them. Roxy will play in Copenhagen on Tuesday, 18th September. Venue to be confirmed. Roxy will tour Australia in August starting on Saturday, 11th August. They will play Brisbane, Sydney (two concerts, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth). For more information about the Santiago de Compostela concert go here. |
| 19th June 2001 Roxy will play in Santiago de Compostela in Spain on Friday, 29th June before flying to Werchter for the festival there. We do not yet have any ticketing details. There is some confusion about a date in Milan's Fila Forum. The Solo site (at www.solo.uk.com) has the date listed for the 24th September and an Italian website has the date as 26th September. We will confirm ASAP but the Solo date is assumed to be correct as the other date clashes with a concert in Vienna. There is more ocnfusion about the venue in Vienna with it either being the Bank Austriahalle or the new Gasometer complex. |
