The most successful duo in UK music history, Pet Shop Boys, announce huge summer shows.
Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe will bring their groundbreaking, Pet Shop Boys: Dreamworld – The Greatest Hits Live to Cardiff on Thursday 31 July.
They are the latest act revealed to headline this year’s TK Maxx presents Depot Live at Cardiff Castle.

The Pet Shop Boys will also bring their euphoric pop spectacle to Hardwick Festival in Durham (on 16 August) and Warwick Castle (30 August).
Pop Spectacle
Pet Shop Boys recently announced the release of the Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live At The Royal Arena Copenhagen concert film on Blu-ray/CD. Available on 2 May 2025, the film captures the spectacular show featuring classic hits like: West End Girls, Suburbia, Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money), Left To My Own Devices, Rent, Domino Dancing, Always On My Mind and It’s A Sin.
In their live shows Pet Shop Boys have created an original style of pop musical theatre, collaborating with a multitude of directors, designers and artists, including Derek Jarman, Zaha Hadid, Es Devlin and Tom Scutt.
