Dreamworld is so boring 2026. I can't understand why people wanna still see it. Enough is enough after 4 years
Maybe because they haven’t seen it yet?
It’s not for people who frequent a PSB forum and who have presumably seen them perform live a number of times over the years.
n my case, I had seen the *Dreamworld* show once before, three years ago, in the shortened festival format. My girlfriend had never seen them live. So, obviously, it was a no-brainer—I didn't even have to think about it for a split second.
And the fact that they’re still touring *Dreamworld* obviously means there’s demand for it. Last night, there were 7,000 people in Santander, and two nights before that, 10,000 in Valencia. If someone had told me that back in 2000—when there were only 5,000 of us at the *Nightlife* tour—I wouldn't have believed it. And if they came back to this area with *Dreamworld* in another two or three years, we’d definitely go again. Though, of course, a brand-new tour would be even better.
I can totally understand and so can the thousands of happy people in all the 'Neil and Chris leaving the stage at the end' clips they keep posting to social media.
I don't understand being gatekeepy!
Brand new tour would be good. Perhaps with the upcoming album a new tour will be fleshed out.
I'm sure if Dreamworld finishes there will be many of us that wished it didn't.
There are so many fantastic songs in the set list.
We'll always have naysayers and people wanting more. I think it's a matter of observing whether it's a large majority or not. I think most of the fans are supportive of Neil & Chris continuing the tour even if there are groans and murmurs here and there.
Worth pointing out, this tour hasn't extended beyond previous tours. Look at these numbers:
Electric Tour (112)
Dreamworld - The Greatest Hits Live (110)
Fundamental Tour (109)
Pandemonium (99)
The Super Tour (83)
Release Tour (61)
Performance Tour (58)
Nightlife Tour (55)
Progress Live (27)
Discovery Tour (24)
Summer Tour (21)
Somewhere Shows (20)
MCMLXXXIX Tour (14)
The Unity Tour (13)
Summer/Fall '04 Tour (11)
Battleship Potemkin (9)
Inner Sanctum (8)
Obscure Pet Shop Boys (7)
Number in the brackets being the amount of dates. I think Dreamworld is just barely creeping ahead of the others, with Setlist.fm missing upcoming tour dates. But it's not like Dreamworld is five times larger than previous tours.
The Nonetheless era has been fruitful. If there were a Further Listening for it, including radio edits it would be 60+ songs.
For perspective, Yes FL is 34 tracks. Release FL is 46. (I like numbers today, huh)
Perhaps if they dedicated resources to a Nonetheless-specific tour we wouldn't have had as much output.
Thank you for posting the numbers and looking at this I’ve seen a lot of these tours along with heaven in ‘91 and the tour of universities. It’s probable a new tour is being planned and I’ve been told by someone who used to be involved with Glastonbury that they have turned down the legends slot on quite a few occasions because it’s in daylight. Mind you it was in a pub a while ago and although the person was very friendly I’m not sure how credible he was.
So much to be grateful for - if they had scaled down Dreamworld/Nonetheless and not being as successful, we would have missed out so much fun. Obscure would likely never had happen and so much more to come.
Completely unexpected was the so-called souvenir ticket for the Lytham Festival in the mailbox today. Had completely forgotten that I had put a check mark on the order at the time.

"Spain, you’ve been wonderful! Gracias a todos en Valencia y Santander. After a short break, Pet Shop Boys’ “Dreamworld” tour will resume in August in Norway and Denmark for its final 2026 shows."
...for it's final 2026 shows, eh?
So I guess there may be perhaps 2027 Dreamworld Greatest Hits shows? Hmmmm.

I think it's going to happen.
This Greatest Hits tour is good for them. It works well for festivals and summer dates and just for fun, they don't need anything more. Now they are living their lives and creating songs for the new album in 2028.
In 2027, they'll probably do something similar they did this year.
Since I just saw them live, I wanted to share some thoughts on the *Dreamworld* tour and see what the rest of you think.
I find it—well, sad—that they’ve left four albums unrepresented. The fact that it’s a greatest hits tour isn't a valid excuse, seeing as they haven't really had a hit in ages.
The first seven albums are represented, but albums 8, 9, 10, and 11 aren't... yet 12, 13, 14, and 15 are. It doesn't make much sense to me. They could have easily included the lead singles from those four albums:
"Home and Dry"
"I'm with Stupid"
"Love etc."
"Winner"
That would give us 32 songs. Drop two, and you're left with 30—a nice round number—and it would only add maybe 10 minutes to the concert at most.
If I had to cut anything, I’d drop "Jealousy" and "Paninaro." I think *Behaviour* is well represented by "So Hard" and "Being Boring" (and even "Where the Streets Have No Name," which is from that same era). As for "Paninaro"—which is from *Disco 2*—I love it, but it feels like they’re somewhat slighting those four albums by leaving them out entirely.
In fact, the absence of "Love etc." is appalling. It’s their biggest hit of the 21st century.
Finally, I also don't get why "Dancing Star" is in the setlist instead of "Loneliness."
Anyway, just sharing some thoughts—that’s what this forum is for, right? What do the rest of you think?
