First post

I recently attended the show they offered at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin and I was able to enjoy myself like a child with the Hot Experience VIP tickets.

Now I am very happy to see that they have extended the dates of the Dreamworld tour until 2023 and if after a few months they release new...

Last post

Well, in the end I'm going to see Dreamworld again !!!!. I have decided to go to Wembley.

Will Wembley be a good place to see them?

I’ve been to Wembley a couple of times though not to see Pet Shop Boys. As long as the band has a good sound system which PSB do it’s fine.

With the tour fast approaching, people will be keen to share their experiences and discuss any new snippets of information. I’m sure there’ll be forum members that don’t want to see or hear “spoilers”. Let’s use this space so people can have the choice.

Yes, as much I’d like to believe that he improved his singing ovwr the uears, it’s just that: technology improved so much since autotune became availble and all pop singers use it.

I don't think Neil uses Autotune. You certainly used to be able to tell when an artist was using it, at certain low...

Pet Shop Boys are delighted to announce that they will be headlining the Other Stage at the long-awaited 50th Anniversary edition of the @glastonbury in June this year. More information is available at the link below.

It's a pity they couldn't go with the full cast of dancers on tour. This tour could be just perfect with them. The stage design is great for that. That's why I am always worried about the budget.

Anybody else getting ready for the gig in Budapest on Wednesday (6th)? Is this the last non-festival concert on the continent?
I'll probably scope around the arena quite early if anybody wants to join.
There are plenty of tickets left as far as I can see.

From an article published in the Sunday Times. If you have a free account, you can read three articles per month.

The new tour is a five-star hit; their most recent album was well-received; new music — possibly an EP with songs about modern fascism — will be incoming.

Last post

An EP acknowledging a changing world would be amazing. The landscape of self-centred music is rife, and they've always had topical songs from day one, beyond the me me me.

Honestly, there's so much meanness around these days, on different levels, it's actually weird the charts barely raise a...

Do the boys do any soundchecks on this tour? Soundchecks which one would be able to hear if it's an outdoor venue?

They definitely do. I recall during the last tour I could hear the soundcheck about two hours before the show.

I'm not going to get into the whole PSB vs Erasure thing but when you see PSB performing their greatest hits to such acclaim, including high-profile coverage like Glastonbury, it must really grate with them that they're not similarly beloved as national treasures. I'm obviously a Pethead but I...

Can't get this out of my head.

On the current tour, at the end of West End Girls, Chris uses both hands to play the last bass line.

I don't think he always did this but can't identify him playing it live on camera as its only the last bit I'm thinking of.

There is plenty of footage of him...

Last post

He always plays while reading the notes from his monitor in front of him. He is a trained musician so he will be able to change his lines easily, even after 40 years. I love it how he plays more live now compared to the early days. As much as I enjoy watching Performance, I really prefer the live...

Not the kind of article you’d usually expect in The Economist although I recall they have used PSB song titles within an unrelated in the articles before, so there are clearly some fans amongst the journalists.

(not the referee!)

PSB have just started following Mike Dean on Insta. I haven’t heard of him but he appears to be a producer with a taste in classic analog synths and ambient-ish soundscapes. However he has worked with several hip hop artists, Madonna and Lana Del Ray

PSB only usually follow...

Maybe he should retire like the real Mike Dean.

I don't think it's a hoax. The reason being that if you listen to the Actually interview picture disc, Chris is about to blurt out the sources of the sample. Neil, no doubt realising the legal ramifications, stops him, saying something like he doesn't think they should say. Remember that this is in...
