When the Pet Shop Boys released the stately and reflective “Elysium” in 2012, there was no reason to expect the U.K. duo would unleash something as vivacious as “Super” in 2016. But here we are, 35 years after the act formed and 30 years after they released their debut “Please” that featured such hits as “West End Girls,” “Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money)” and “Love Comes Quickly.” And even though vocalist Neil Tennant is now 61 and instrumentalist Chris Lowe is 56, the two are stomping the dancefloor like a couple of millennials, and they are all set to rock the dance-floor in the US, in person!!
Following four sold-out performances at London’s historic Royal Opera House as part of their “Super” tour, the eternally-youthful Pet Shop Boys start the U.S. leg of their “Super” worldwide tour October 21 at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. For this “Super” tour, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe will unveil new tracks from their “Super” album released earlier this year, as well as provide fans with a reminder of their vital electro-pop catalog with hits “West End Girls,” “Suburbia,” “It’s a Sin” and more.
“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.
