The Pet Shop Boys will perform two special London shows in July 2027 with all of their greatest hits as part of The O2 Arena’s 20th anniversary celebrations.
The 80s electropop trailblazers founded by singer Neil Tennant and keyboard player Chris Lowe will perform on Friday, July 9, and Saturday, July 10, 2027, at the London venue as part of their Dreamworld Max: The Greatest Hits Live tour.
Tickets for the Pet Shop Boys gigs will go on general sale at 10am on Friday, November 13, via The O2 website and Ticketmaster.
Other huge acts playing the O2 as part of this summer’s 20th anniversary celebrations include guitar legend Santana, rockers Kings Of Leon, New Yorker pop-rock singer Sombr, dance maestro David Guetta, R’n’B artist Jorja Smith, and funkateers Jamiroquai.
Known for their extravagant dramatic stage shows, The Pet Shop Boys dominated the charts in the 80s with huge hits such as West End Girls, It’s a Sin, Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money) and What Have I Done to Deserve This? alongside Dusty Springfield.
The pair formed the band in 1981 and have achieved four UK number one singles and 19 top 10 albums, selling millions of copies.
The Pet Shop Boys will be supported by 1990s electronic band Saint Etienne and US group Boy Harsher for the two dates.

Emma Bownes, senior vice president of venue programming at AEG International which owns and operates The O2, said: “Pet Shop Boys are one of the most influential and celebrated acts in British music history, so we’re delighted to welcome them to The O2 as part of our 20th birthday celebrations.
“Their Dreamworld Max: The Greatest Hits Live show brings together an extraordinary catalogue of hits that have soundtracked generations, and these greatest hits shows will be a fitting addition to what is already shaping up to be an unforgettable anniversary year at The O2.”
