In other news, and maybe already reported elsewhere, Saint Etienne will be playing before PSB at the Athens gig. Would love to be there but hey, how about they tour the US together?!

One for the Dads!

Neil & Chris are back !!

Exciting - I’m in Italy right now but up north - anybody on the forum going to the concert this evening?

Cris is always funny. Does he really believe we think he swims with cup and sunglasses?.

I'm attending the Paris concert and wanted know if there's an opening act for the Dreamworld 2026 Summer Tour ? TY

Go West is back on the setlist! Have I missed some news?!!

I know right!
And what an impressive setlist now, at 27 songs.
It has been 27 tracks previously, but that was before The Pop Kids and A New Bohemia were added.
So Loneliness and Discoteca are removed, since then.
Current full setlist is:

1. Suburbia
2. Can You Forgive Her?
3. Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)
4. Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You)
5. Rent
6. I Don't Know What You Want but I Can't Give It Any More
7. So Hard
8. Left to My Own Devices
9. Single-Bilingual / Se a vida é (That's the Way Life Is)
10. Domino Dancing
11. Dancing Star
12. New York City Boy
13. The Pop Kids
14. A New Bohemia
15. Jealousy
16. Love Comes Quickly
17. Paninaro
18. Always on My Mind
19. Dreamland
20. Heart
21. What Have I Done to Deserve This?
22. It's Alright
23. Vocal
24. Go West
25. It's a Sin

Encore:
26. West End Girls
27. Being Boring

I love that they added Go West without taking anything away, since The Pop Kids was originally the substitute for it.
Worth noting, many of the upcoming tour dates are festivals so it'll be the reduced setlist.
We'll see if they prioritise GW. I imagine it'll be included.

Perhaps a small detail, but I notice Chris is wearing a new outfit. A loose thin white zip up jacket, opposed to the white customised hi-vis jacket.
I love the original coat he wears because whenever I see traffic control workers wearing white hi-vis I think of it.
But it makes sense since it's practically the peak of Summer in Italy and the northern hemisphere. Something lighter.

Another moment I enjoyed during the MEDIMEX concert was during Streets. For the line "we're beaten and blown by the wind" there's a smoke machine and a fan, Neil goes up to the fan, his coat billowing in the wind and he steps back while raising a hand to shield his face, singing the lyrics.

The gesture during that moment isn't new, but the fan really enhances it.

By the way, I love hearing about different little moments during these shows.
As of writing there are 11 upcoming shows scheduled.
So if you see any ab-libs or interesting moments please share here!

"Great to welcome the @petshopboys to the British Consulate Istanbul for lunch

One of the most successful pop duo in UK music history

Their songs were among the first songs I listened to on cassette as a kid in the 80s.

Everyone watching them at @lifeparkistanbul tomorrow is in for a treat!

Lovely! Great to be a consul.

Chris looks like some kid they just dragged off the street for the photo op!

Chris is sensibly shedding layers and Neil stubbornly refuses to make wardrobe concessions, except maybe removing his fez a little early.

I would think that being blasted in the face by dry ice must feel pretty good at that point! Maybe they’re slipping ice packs in the pockets of the big coats.

It’s nice when fans get to meet their idols, isn’t it?

I think he’d have been disappointed if Chris HADN’T come looking like a street urchin.
