To Amsterdam
A quick break on the road between Brussels and Amsterdam! (Clare Uchima, Afrika Green, Pete Gleadall)
Russia
In 2009 we started our Pandemonium world tour in St Petersburg. We’ve visited Russia many times and written songs with Russian themes and influences. Now it is inconceivable that we can visit or perform there. But we look forward to the day when fascism fails in Russia, criminal politicians face justice, truth is told, neighbouring countries aren’t invaded or threatened and a new Russia is born. I hope we’ll still be around to see that.
Dreamworld in Brussels
Hello Brussels. Pet Shop Boys are bringing the Dreamworld tour to Forest National today. See you there! x
Bruxelles
Oh dear! Our bags are stuck on the baggage carousel in Bruxelles Airport (and blocking all the other bags). On a happier note – great show in Zurich yesterday!

Covid on tour
Hi everyone. We’re really looking forward to our first show tonight. We just want to apologise that, because of the risk of Covid infection, we can’t shake hands, hug, take your pen to sign autographs etc. We don’t want to catch Covid and have to postpone the tour again! Hope you understand. Neil & Chris xx
Dreamworld in Milan
The stage is set. Pet Shop Boys’ Dreamworld tour finally begins in Milan tonight!
Milan
We think this was a Paninaro bar back in the 80s! Great to be back in Milan.
