Big Noise on December 8th

Press release issued today by Mencap:
“Mencap is proud to announce that Pet Shop Boys will be performing a very special one-off Christmas Big Noise Session show on 8th December, at Hammersmith Apollo. The legendary dance-pop duo will be presenting a one-off UK theatre performance of their ‘Pandemonium’ show which has toured the world and was a huge hit at this year’s Glastonbury Festival and at the O2 Arena last year. They will also be joined by a number of support acts who will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets are priced at £50.00* and all proceeds from the night will go to learning disability charity Mencap.
Mencap’s Big Noise Session is a new addition to the much-loved Little Noise Sessions, curated and hosted by the legendary DJ and Mencap ambassador Jo Whiley. Last year’s inaugural event saw bonafide superstars Coldplay perform a one-off homecoming gig in Exeter and now it’s the turn of Pet Shop Boys to bring their magic to Big Noise as it makes its London debut.
