The band’s four arena concerts – two in Sweden and two in Denmark – with Toto last August, arranged by Pernille Pedersen at All Things Live, 10cc’s new national promoter in Denmark – certainly helped boost ticket sales for the concerts in February.
In Copenhagen, where 10cc played the 7.500-capacity Royal Arena with Toto, tickets for the show at DR Koncertsalen (15 Feb) – the most prestigious venue the band has headlined in the city – sold out so quickly that a second Copenhagen date had to be added, at Amager Bio (20 Feb).
In Sweden – where the band also played the 50,000-capacity Sweden Rock Festival in June – a second night had to be added at Lorensbergsteatern (7-8 Feb) in Gothenburg, another beneficiary of the arena dates with Toto.
Another headlining first, the band will be playing the prestigious Konserthuset (12 Feb) in Stockholm, promoted by Johan Karisson at Live Nation Sweden.
The Scandinavian tour starts with a concert at Norway’s Oslo Konserthus, the second time 10cc has played the venue, each time promoted by Rune Lem at Live Nation Norway.
