Pet Shop Boys

[let's 'ave it!!!]

now down as TBC on the Pyramid on the sunday!

YIPPEE!!!!

i know they were mentioned in the other thread, but I certainly think they need their own thread!!!

What slot would they play?

[Paul ™]

I hope so.. waited about 20 years to see them live

[sifi]

Yeah, they are a defo. My friend dances and does backing vocals for the band on their current tour.

She mentioned they were playing, although I don't know when or which stage, I've asked via text. It's great because she sometimes goes to Glasto as a punter!

Cracking news!!!! Why do you say Sunday?

[eFestivals]

I've guessed the Pyramid, because they don't really fit the profile for other stages.

I'm hoping to have this cleared up in some way (hopefully today), either via my original source (sifi) or via other channels I'm following up via.

Before U2 on the Friday would make me a very happy chap!

[Tugger2k]

I completely mis-read the rumours page, forgive me it's still early!

What slot would they play though? there's no doubt they are huge, sub headliner?

great band to see live, I went to see them a few years ago, not expecting much (it was a free gig) and then you end up realising that you pretty juch know and remember and enjoy every song they play. I had a real change of heart about them at that gig.

This is really good news.

[strudders]

Cool!!!!! before Stevie?

This is very good news

This must be the pop act that emily was aluding to?

Good news, deserve a slot, and will go down well I think!

What are they like live (if you can come up with a fitting description) there music is pretty varied and often odd, when there live I'm thinking pop/electronic/dancey. This set has me more intrigued then any other, I'm guessing they'll put on a good pretty eccentric show???

[Wanderlei]

Not into the Pet Shop Boys. Find them annoying. But each to their own.

Would love to hear West End Girls live. One of my favourite pop songs.

[brandycoke]

Not a fan either.

Neil Tennant- not really a singing voice ,.... more a monotone whine.

[sifi]

I don't know what their set list is like these days, but I'd like very much

It's a Sin

West End Girls

Rent

Heart

What Have I done to deserve this

Left to my own devices

Love Comes Quickly

Suburbia

and that Elvis one.

And yes, I only know their first three albums. But I do know those three albums very well.

That's OK - I'm not sure he sings live anyway. The music is very definitely not live.

[wayno147]

I saw them twice at the O2 last year. Pure classics for 2 hours and an amazing stage design as well. I really hope this is true. Sundown slot on the Pyramid listening to all the classics would be awesome!!!!

[brandycoke]

I would imagine Chris Lowe's keyboards would be live though.

[G1T]

Awesome! Saw them on the Pyramid stage back in 2000, and they really were excellent.

Sun going down, me coming up, perfect.
