PET SHOP BOYS U.S. SUPER TOUR STARTS OCTOBER 21 IN LAS VEGAS
NEW SINGLE “SAY IT TO ME” OUT TODAY, CLASH MAGAZINE PREMIERES “REAL LIES REMIX”
NEW ALBUM SUPER OUT TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM
ON X2 RECORDS
Following four much lauded, sold-out shows at London’s Royal Opera House, Pet Shop Boys start the U.S. leg of their “Super” worldwide tour October 21 at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The band will play 20 cities in North America, performing songs from their storied career as well as their new album, Super. See below for a full list of tour dates.
The Super tour will be staged by long-time Pet Shop Boys designer Es Devlin and choreographer Lynne Page. The band is collaborating for live music arrangements with Stuart Price, who produced and mixed their latest album along with 2013’s Electric.
Critical praise for Pet Shop Boys Royal Opera House shows….
“Electrifying.”— Evening Standard
“The show encompasses high culture, club culture, theatre, cinema, political satire and a mind-bending laser show.” —Daily Telegraph
“A vivid, laser-laden spectacular.” —The Independent
“Pet Shop Boys continue to bring colourful three-dimensionality to the often two-dimensional world of pop.” —The Observer
Today, the duo releases their new single “Say It To Me” on digital formats. Purchase links can be found for CD HERE and vinyl HERE. Stream the track HERE. The song is taken from their current album Super. Clash Magazine premiered the “Real Lies Remix” of the track earlier this week.
Super entered the official U.K. Album Charts at #3 marking the duo’s sixteenth U.K. Top 10 album to date. The first single “The Pop Kids” reached #1 on Billboard’s U.S. Dance Club Charts. The album was written in London and Berlin and features 12 new Tennant/Lowe compositions.
Critical acclaim for Super…
★★★★—Q Magazine
“The legendary British electro-pop duo are still kicking—and celebrating their third decade together with this ebullient new album.” —Entertainment Weekly
“punchy, urgent and laser bright…” —The Guardian
“[‘The Pop Kids’ is] eminently danceable and has just the right amount of pop.” —USA Today
“the best British band ever” – Vice/Thump
“[‘Happiness’ is a] pounding dance jam.” —Stereogum
Over the last 25 years Pet Shop Boys have gained a reputation as innovators of the modern live music show. They were among the first to integrate multimedia and theatrical elements into their productions, and they have collaborated with Derek Jarman, Zaha Hadid and Sam Taylor Johnson.
