Pet Shop Boys have announced two London shows for July 2027, bringing Dreamworld MAX: The Greatest Hits Live to The O2 on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 July. Saint Etienne and Boy Harsher will be special guests on both nights.
The concerts, announced on Monday 9 November, form part of the venue’s 20th birthday programme. Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe will expand their existing greatest-hits production with additional songs and new staging. Venue owner AEG describes the dates as the duo’s only UK arena shows of 2027.
What is Pet Shop Boys’ Dreamworld MAX?
The band’s official announcement presents Dreamworld MAX as an enlarged version of their established greatest-hits show. That means the London dates will develop an existing production, with the promise of extra hits and an expanded stage presentation.
No running order or complete song list accompanies the announcement. The billing identifies the show as a greatest-hits concert, while leaving the specific additions to be revealed. The two support acts are confirmed for each evening, so fans choosing between Friday and Saturday have the same announced artist line-up.
Independent coverage from Time Out also places Saint Etienne and Boy Harsher on the bill. The combination brings three electronic-pop acts together for the anniversary shows, with the guests appearing before Tennant and Lowe’s headline performance.
For listeners whose introduction to Pet Shop Boys came through their singles, there is a substantial catalogue behind the greatest-hits format. Official Charts records four UK number-one singles and 22 top-ten singles for the duo. Their breakthrough with the re-recorded West End Girls in 1985 began a chart career extending across four decades.
The same chart history records Nonetheless reaching number two in May 2024, their highest-charting studio album since Very topped the chart in 1993. Those records offer context for a live show built around both enduring singles and the continuing work of an active band.
Official Charts also lists BRIT Awards for Best Single and Best Group, followed by an Outstanding Contribution to Music award in 2009.
When do tickets go on sale?
The artist and O2 presales open at 10am GMT on Wednesday 11 November. Pet Shop Boys’ website links directly to registration for the artist presale, while AEG confirms that eligible O2 and Virgin Media broadband customers can use Priority Tickets.
General sale begins at 10am GMT on Friday 13 November. That time is stated in the band’s announcement and independently displayed on the linked MyTicket booking page for both concerts. The two listings identify The O2 in London, with Saint Etienne and Boy Harsher named beneath Pet Shop Boys.
For anyone planning around the sale, the band’s announcement is the useful starting point because it connects the presale registration and general booking information in one place. The artist’s page also makes the distinction between Wednesday’s early access and Friday’s wider sale clear.
Ticket prices are not stated in the announcement. There is no confirmed price range to quote yet, and the booking pages will provide the relevant options when sales open.
Part of The O2’s anniversary summer
AEG’s announcement places the Pet Shop Boys dates within a wider programme running through summer 2027. Other confirmed anniversary artists include Maisie Peters, David Guetta, Jorja Smith, Jamiroquai and Kings of Leon, with further announcements promised.
The venue opened in 2007. AEG says it has since hosted more than 6,800 events and welcomed over 100 million visitors, figures which cover the destination’s wider activity rather than attendance at the two newly announced concerts.
For UK fans, the practical news is concentrated on the two July evenings. The Friday and Saturday performances share the same guests and production billing, with the expanded Dreamworld show providing the centrepiece. The next step is the opening of presales on 11 November, followed by general booking two days later.
