This summer, Pet Shop Boys were joined on stage at Glastonbury on Sunday night (June 26) by Years & Years’ Olly Alexander, with the two artists performing ‘Dreamland’ together.
Earlier in the day, Alexander covered the Pet Shop Boys’ ‘It’s A Sin’ during Years & Years’ set on The Other Stage, a song he covered throughout this year’s summer festival slots.
Reviewing Pet Shop Boys live in Hull earlier this year, NME said in a five-star review that the duo’s celebrated “the band’s infallible greatest hits collection, and their ability to constantly stay ahead of the pack”.
It continued: “Forty years into their career, NME Godlike Geniuses‘ Pet Shop Boys still occupy a unique place in the pop firmament: as likely to soundtrack a ’20s Russian propaganda film as they are to discuss the role of TikTok on pop if you bumped into them on one of their Sunday afternoons in Berlin nightclub Berghain.
“It’s a distinctive position underlined tonight at their first Greatest Hits tour (and first time playing Hull), which shows the range of styles and subjects tackled in their canon, and is a two-hour joyous celebration of their decades of holding pop to a higher standard.”
