Probably the most unexpected announcement of the weekend was that Pet Shop Boys are to support Take That on their upcoming arena tour this Summer.
Pet Shop Boys commented on the recent announcement:
“We are delighted to accept Take That’s invitation to be part of their Progress show and tour which is undoubtedly going to be one of the most exciting events of 2011. We look forward to every night being a huge celebration of pop music.”
They are set to be warming up the audience with a 40 minute set full of their classic tunes!
Take That members Gary Barlow and Jason Orange also commented on the announcement:
“Pet Shop Boys was the first CD I ever bought” said Gary. “I’ve followed their whole career and always loved their unique approach to records and live performance. That combined with two lovely people means we’re in for a great tour.” Jason added, “I’m flattered and very happy they’ve agreed to do it. They’re so talented; I thought they’d be above it and us.”
Roll on May 27th, we can’t wait!
Lets get in the mood with a bit of a classic shall we..
