40 years after the release of their 1986 debut album ‘Please’, Pet Shop Boys will perform five intimate live shows in April 2026 at London’s Electric Ballroom. Entitled ‘Obscure Pet Shop Boys’, and in contrast to the duo’s ‘Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live’ tour, the new shows will see PSB perform a setlist featuring only non-single album tracks and B-sides from across their acclaimed career – many being performed live for the first time – making it a very special event for fans.
Pet Shop Boys commented: “We are very excited at the prospect of going deeper into our song catalogue in these shows and giving album tracks, B-sides and fan favourites a chance to be heard live.”
Ticket details for the five shows, which will run from 6th-10th April, will be announced shortly. The April 8th show will be a benefit concert in aid of the charity War Child.
Pet Shop Boys’ ‘Dreamworld – The Greatest Hits Live’ tour continues in 2026, finally reaching Japan in January, and a British date at the Lytham Festival has already been announced.
The duo have sold more than 50 million records, released 60 singles spanning five decades and are the most successful UK duo of all time. Prestigious awards have been numerous across their career including the BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 2009 and the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music in 2000. In 2024 they released their 15th album, ‘Nonetheless’, which reached Number 2 in the UK album chart in its first week of release – their highest-charting studio album since 1993. Pet Shop Boys’ acclaimed tour, ‘Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live’, continued this summer with dates across the UK and Europe. Later this month they release ‘Disco 5’, the latest instalment of their continuing ‘Disco’ album series of dance tracks and remixes which started in 1986.
