Obscure Pet Shop Boys

40 years after the release of their 1986 debut album “Please”, Pet Shop Boys will perform five intimate live shows in April 2026 at London’s Electric Ballroom.

Entitled “Obscure Pet Shop Boys”, and in contrast to the duo’s “Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live” tour, the new shows will see PSB perform a setlist featuring only non-single album tracks and B‑sides from across their acclaimed career, with many songs being performed live for the first time. The April 8^th show will be a benefit concert in aid of the charity War Child.

Update: All “Obscure” shows are now sold out.

Martin Parr

We are sad to hear that the distinguished British photographer Martin Parr, famous for his wryly distinctive images of everyday life, has died. In 2002 we asked him to direct the video for our song “London” and he made a short film which, in its combination of urban pathos and quirky London street life, was instantly recognisable as his work. We send our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Neil and Chris xx
