Pet Shop Boys are used to filling arenas across the UK, but they’ve just announced that they’ll be playing a residency of tiny (by their standard) shows in London next year. Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe will take to the Electric Ballroom in Camden for five nights in a row, and you might get to hear them play some songs you’ve never seen live before.
They’ll play each night from April 6 to April 10, 2026with the gig on April 8 being a concert to raise funds for War Child, with proceeds going to the charity. The run of shows is titled ‘Obscure Pet Shop Boys’, and will see the pair only play non-single album tracks and B-sides to make up a setlist full of rarities.

Prior to these gigs, Pet Shop Boys had been playing the ‘Dreamworld – The Greatest Hits Live’ tour, which saw them play their singles and most well-known tracks, but these ‘Obscure’ gigs will flip that concept on its head. They also follow the last Pet Shop Boys studio album, Nonethelesswhich dropped in April last year.
