This is the best PSB news in years. There'd better be a bluray and/or CD set. And a live stream. Chances of getting tickets: 2/0.

At a minimum, a CD with Annually 2027. But yeah, an official BD/CD combo like they've been doing recently would be brilliant.

Think you mean 0/2 in this case!
I must disengage your recreational music.

The funny thing is, not just judging from the reaction here, but also reaction I've seen on various non-PSB related outlets that have announced this, it's garnering a lot of attention and seems less niche than maybe even N&C are suggesting.

Perhaps they might eventually consider taking such a concept on a wider (world) tour??

I'd be mad as all hell. Unless someone would generously buy me a couple. I do have a UK address they could be mailed to!

Even if I manage to organize a little trip to London at the time, I believe these tickets will cost an arm and a leg, right? 🙃
Have a look at my taste in music:

That’s the thing about negative energy, about hatred. It can be positive. It throws into relief all the things you know you like. It tells you, by elimination, what you’re about. Sometimes you can only define yourself by what you hate. Hatred becomes an inspiration; it makes you think, “What I’m doing now I totally believe in, and I don’t care what other people say.” Guided by hatred, you don’t have to follow the herd. - Neil Tennant

Step 1: Buy Tickets
Step 2 (assuming Step 1 is successful) : figure everything else out somehow.

Not sure - I'm thinking they will be a 'reasonable' price - circa 80 to 100 quid. At least I'm hoping.

“I’d like to go and see a show of ours where we didn’t do any of the hits. Actually I did a playlist of it the other day - it’s really good. Everything I liked that’s not a single.”

Tonight is forever
The survivors
To face the truth
Do I have to?
To step aside
The resurrectionist
Fugitive
Up against it
Your funny uncle
King’s Cross
Only the wind
It couldn’t happen here
Casanova in Hell
The theatre
Happiness is an option
It always comes as a surprise
Jack the lad
To speak is a sin
My October symphony
One and one more five
The Samurai in autumn
Love is a catastrophe
Later tonight
Why don’t we live together?
Forever in love
If love were all

Encore:
One thing leads to another
I've popped them into a playlist - two hours and two minutes. I may turn in into a ''mix'' and change the order...

Fantastic news! I do hope there's a Bluray to go into a new version of the greatest hits Bluray that never quite made it. And a live album.

Perhaps each show could feature one or two different song selections, in addition to the main setlist.

I'll be quite happy with Chris' setlist from 2008, but I'd like to add a request to add 'In My Imagination'.

Could you imagine being at the 1st night, the excitement of having no idea what they are actually going to play !!

I've been like a big kid all day !!
