Pet Shop Boys bring Dreamworld MAX, an expanded version of their greatest hits show, to The O2 for two nights in the arena’s 20th year, with Saint Etienne and Boy Harsher.
Pet Shop Boys, the London duo behind “West End Girls”, bring Dreamworld MAX to The O2 arena in North Greenwich on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 July 2027. Saint Etienne and Boy Harsher open both nights.
Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe met in a hi-fi shop on the King’s Road in Chelsea in August 1981. They took the band’s name from friends who worked in a pet shop in Ealing.
Tennant was an assistant editor at Smash Hits while the pair recorded their first demos. “West End Girls” reached number one in Britain and the United States in 1986. “It’s a Sin”, “Always on My Mind” and “Heart” also topped the UK chart, and the duo have sold more than 100 million records.
Dreamworld, their greatest hits show, opened in 2022 and played five nights at the Royal Opera House in July 2024. The MAX version adds more hits and new staging, and both nights belong to The O2’s 20th-birthday programme.
Saint Etienne, formed in Croydon in 1990, are known for “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” and “Nothing Can Stop Us”. Boy Harsher are an American electronic duo formed in Savannah, Georgia, in 2013.
