PET SHOP BOYS ANNOUNCE SECOND DATE AT SAGE GATESHEAD DUE TO PHENOMENAL PUBLIC DEMAND
“They’ve been reinventing the pop concert as a modern art spectacle for decades” – The Independent
On Wednesday September 3rd, Pet Shop Boys will play a second show at Sage Gateshead as part of their spectacular 2014 ‘Electric’ Tour. This date has been added after a first – taking place the night before, on September 2nd – became one of the fastest selling concerts in the venue’s 10-year history.
Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys, who grew up in neighbouring Newcastle, commented: “It always feels special to come home and perform a show and Sage Gateshead has established itself in the last ten years as one of Europe’s very best venues for all genres of music.”
The show will feature PSB classics and also new tracks from ‘Electric’, the first Pet Shop Boys album to be produced by Stuart Price, the dance music wunderkind behind Madonna’s ‘Confessions on a Dance Floor’ and club-smashing remixes for The Killers, as well as his own Les Rhthymes Digitales project.
“Snap, crackle and perfect pop. This glorious show confirmed Pet Shop Boys’ membership of a select club. Like Madonna, Lady Gaga and Kate Bush they are proper pop stars who understand how to fuse the mainstream with the avant garde” – The Times
Audiences at Sage Gateshead are guaranteed a world-beating spectacular live show to go with the club-centred sound of ‘Electric’, with lighting and set design created in collaboration with award-winning creative director and designer Es Devlin (who has worked with Lady Gaga, Kanye West & Jay Z, Take That and the 2012 Olympics’ Closing Ceremony). The show features extraordinary interactive visuals, original choreography, amazing costumes, a spectacular light and laser show and – of course – lots of hits. To go with the mood of the show, the seats will be taken out of the pit area of Sage Gateshead for dancing.
Tickets will go on sale on Friday 4th July at 10am and are available from Sage Gateshead’s ticket office: http://sagegateshead.com/event/pet-shop-boys33074/, Ticketmaster and SeeTickets.
