The Pet Shop Boys are – finally – coming to town

British synth-pop giants Pet Shop Boys will visit Manila for the first time to perform their hits from a career spanning more than 20 years in a concert titled, Pet Shop Boys Live at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Presented by Ovation Productions, the concert is set for August 6, and will bring the duo of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe to the Big Dome.

The show is part of an ongoing tour to promote the soon to be released album Electric. Produced by Stuart Price (Madonna, Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue, Take That, Missy Elliott, The Killers), the compilation features eight new songs, plus one cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “The Last To Die.”
