Gyllene Tider ( Golden Times ) is a Swedish pop group .
Band history
The group was founded in 1978 around Per Gessle and Mats Persson. Micke Andersson, Göran Fritzon and Anders Herrlin completed the quintet. The song Billy , released in 1979, helped to get a record deal, the LP Gyllene Tider was released in 1979 and gained enormous popularity in Sweden. However, the group's best-selling album is Moderna Tider (1981). More albums followed.
The attempt to conquer the world market in 1984 under the name Roxette and with English-language titles failed. It was not until 1989 that Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson achieved their international breakthrough as Roxette .
1985 Gyllene Tider separated. In 1995, however, there was a reunification, which was initiated by a now legendary concert in Halmstad and the release of an EP and the best-of album Halmstads pärlor with a total of four new songs, and which was followed by a tour of Sweden the following year.
The year 2004 was marked by the band's 25th anniversary. Gyllene Tider released the new album Finn 5 Fel! and completed an anniversary concert tour through Sweden with 21 concerts and around 490,000 visitors. The album Dags att tänka på refrängen was released in April 2013 , and the tour of the same name took place in July and August.
Gessle's Roxette partner Marie Fredriksson acts as a background singer for the track Run Run Run .
On the group's website, the tour, which began on July 4, 2019, was named final .
