The Pet Shop Boys - Big Nights In

In 2007 the U.K.'s legendary V Festival debuts in Australia, with one day events being staged in Sydney on March 31 and on the Gold Coast on April 1.

En route to those dates, 5 of the major names in the V Festival line up are stopping off in Auckland to play 4 big nights at the St James.

The Pet Shop Boys performing in New Zealand for the first time ever, electro Godfathers the Pet Shop Boys will bring the 4 nights at the St James to a climactic close! When vocalist Neil Tennant and keyboardist Chris Lowe discovered their shared passion for dance music and synthesizers in the early eighties, the PET SHOP BOYS were born.

With a lush musical history spanning almost 25 years, PET SHOP BOYS’ cheeky, smart and utterly danceable music established them among the most successful and popular artists of their era. From their first single "West End Girls"; to the biting and witty "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money), their lovely cover of the perennial beauty "Always on My Mind," - "It's a Sin," to the duet between Tennant and the great Dusty Springfield "What Have I Done to Deserve This?” the PET SHOP BOYS have always remaining one step ahead of their contemporaries. The PET SHOP BOYS play New Zealand for the first time on the back of the release of their ninth studio album “Fundamental”, released earlier this year. Navigating the constantly shifting world of music, the PET SHOP BOYS have moved easily from disco to house to techno with their own distinctive image remaining completely intact; satiric and irreverent. Their new album is no exception.
