Cardiff was great last week, the show has lost no energy IMO. Plenty of casual fans and people seeing them for the first time (some having waited many years) and people who travelled from as far as Japan, Chile, the USA (Hello petshopgrrl!) and (French) Canada.

Lots of people on social media shocked/surprised/disappointed that GW isn't on the set list.

The reception was very warm and I can see why they are continuing in this vein.

Hello Vintage Youth! It was lovely to see you again too! Thanks for dragging the thread back on track again.

Fantastic show again - that two hours went by in a flash and you're dead right about the energy. It was just joyful from start to finish. It was a warm, sunny evening, in stark contrast to the absolute MONSOON that opened up as soon as I stepped off the coach that afternoon! Venue was fantastic - great setting, very well organized and didn't feel crushed for 9000+ attendance. I didn't miss Go West, to be honest, and Pop Kids was a fun substitute. And it was great to be able to meet other fans and fangirl about the show afterwards!

I posted a couple of photos on Instagram, and a reel including the delightful moment where Neil forgot what Chris does in the Pet Shop Boys (although, to be fair, he does do that a bit too).

That was my fourth Dreamworld show and hopefully not the last - same again next year, lads?
