Pet Shop Boys will bring their hugely-anticipated Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live tour to the Eden Sessions on 28 June this year. The show promises to be a joyous two-hour audiovisual celebration of their spectacular career dating back to the 1980s.
Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are the most successful duo in UK music history. Since signing to Parlophone Records in 1985, they have achieved 42 Top 30 singles in the UK including 22 Top 10 hits and four number ones, West End Girls, It’s A Sin, Always On My Mind, and Heart.
Pet Shop Boys have toured extensively over the last year and have seen their music embraced by new generations of music fans around the world. Their Glastonbury Other Stage headline slot received rave reviews everywhere, with The Guardian deeming it “simply one of the best collections of songs in the whole of pop music”, while The Independent called it “a life-affirming, era-straddling set.”
Rolling Stone UK added to the praise, stating the slot was “a spectacular, hits-packed showcase, one that underscored that Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are behind some of Britain’s finest ever pop songs.”
The Pet Shop Boys have a long history of embracing and supporting environmental messages in their work, from their 1988 hit “It’s a Sin”, which was inspired by climate denial, to the message and visuals in their 2016 single “The Pop Kids”. The band decided to perform at the Eden Sessions because they wanted to support the Eden Project’s goal of engaging people and inspiring positive environmental action.
The Eden Sessions are a series of outdoor concerts which take place in the stunning surroundings of the Eden Project, a charity which aims to promote the understanding and intelligent use of the world’s natural resources.
