Latest News
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the memorial event “This Is Navalny”, along with Pet Shop Boys’ headline performance, has been cancelled.
We regret to announce that, due to an ongoing publishing dispute over one of the songs in the film, the “Dreamworld” Blu-ray release has to be further delayed until early 2026 and will now be taken off sale.
Pet Shop Boys today release a new dance mix of “Hymn (In memoriam Alexei Navalny)”, a song dedicated to his memory and cause, which was originally released in February 2025.

Birthday boy
can’t explain
Christmas Eve
He’s born again
On the line
a broken train
going nowhere
Endless rain
Birthday Boy
so afraid
plays the machines
in the arcade
Oh baby do you remember
he’s been through all this before?
Spent the summer
getting nowhere
Taking all of the blame
for the city
calculating from pain comes pity
Christmas Eve
a time of joy
if you believe
in Birthday Boy
This time around
it’s all a mistake
Is he deluded
or just a fake?

Great show at the Kalorama Festival tonight in Lisbon and lovely to meet Jae and Gus of Boy Harsher backstage. We love the mix they did for us of “New London boy”.
A fantastic audience in an amazing venue. Last night in Seville was a great start to our summer tour!
