Pets Shop Boys confirmed at Brussels Summer Festival

More than ever the Brussels Summer Festival consolidates its status as a multi-cultural city event that is gaining popularity year by year and also abroad. Not just with the audience but also with artists who praise the warm reception.

TODAY WE CAN REVEAL THAT THE FIRST HEADLINER

FOR NEXT SUMMER HAS BEEN CONFIRMED:

PET SHOP BOYS.

Ever since 'West End Girls' - their iconic debut single from '84 - Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe kept re-inventing themselves. Super, titel of both their new CD as well as the current world tour, continues this tradition. Again it is an innovative and blinding spectacle, and exclusively for Belgium at Brussels Summer Festival!

The SUPER TOUR is directed by British Es Devlin who was responsible for the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics and who is also known as dramaturgist of the latests tours by - amongst others - Kanye West, U2 and Lady Gaga.

Choreography is in the capable hands of Lynne Page and the musical arrangements carry the signature of Stuart Price (Madonna, Kylie Minogue) who also worked as a producer for SUPER. Core of this tour are the songs from the new album, but these songs are of course accompanied by all hits that made Pet Shop Boys such a timeless band in the past 30 years. It would be silly to give away the entire setlist, but we can reveal already that West End Girs, It's a Sin, Left To My Own Devices, Always On My Mind and Go West will make their appearance.


Pet Shop Boys – recently awarded with an NME Award for their entire career- are very selective when it comes to performances. Concerts in Belgium are a real rarity. In short: Brussels Summer Festival 20017 could not have imagined a better closing concert.

Meer dan ooit bevestigt het Brussels Summer Festival zijn status als multicultureel stadsevenement dat jaar na jaar en ook buiten de landsgrenzen aan populariteit wint. Niet alleen bij het publiek, maar ook bij de artiesten, die telkens vol lof zijn over de warme ontvangst.

VANDAAG KUNNEN WE BEVESTIGEN DAT DE EERSTE HEADLINER

VOOR VOLGENDE ZOMER GESTRIKT IS:

PET SHOP BOYS.

Al sinds ‘West End Girls’ – de iconische debuutsingle uit ’84 - blijven Neil Tennant en Chris Lowe zichzelf voortdurend heruitvinden. Super, de titel van zowel de nieuwe cd als de huidige wereldtournee, zet die traditie verder. Het is opnieuw een even vernieuwend als oogverblindend spektakel, en Brussels Summer Festival krijgt de exclusiviteit voor België !

De regie voor de SUPER TOUR rust op de sterke schouders van de Britse Es Devlin, die eerder verantwoordelijk was voor de openingsceremonie van de Olympische Spelen in Rio, en daarnaast naam maakte als dramaturge bij de jongste tournees van –onder meer - Kanye West, U2 en Lady Gaga.

De choreografie is in handen van Lynne Page en de muzikale arrangementen dragen de handtekening van Stuart Price (Madonna, Kylie Minogue), die ook als producer meewerkte aan SUPER. In het hart van deze concertreeks zitten de songs uit de nieuwe plaat, maar die worden uiteraard vergezeld door al de hits die van de Pet Shop Boys de voorbije dertig jaar zo’n tijdloze band hebben gemaakt. Het zou wat flauw zijn om meteen de hele setlist prijs te geven, maar we kunnen alvast verklappen dat West End Girls, It’s a Sin, Left To My Own Devices, Always On My Mind en Go West hun opwachting zullen maken.

Pet Shop Boys – die recent nog een NME Award voor hun hele carrière in ontvangst mochten nemen - zijn erg selectief als het op optredens aankomt. Concerten in België zijn een echt zeldzaamheid. Kortom: Brussels Summer Festival 2017 had zich geen beter slotconcert kunnen dromen.
