The legendary Pet Shop Boys are bringing an exceptional experience to their fans with the global screening of their concert film, "Dreamworld". Capturing the energy and hits from their performance at The Royal Arena in Copenhagen, this film is a must-see for fans, especially those in Australia. Audiences will be treated to this cinematic event on two specific dates: Wednesday, 31st January and Sunday, 4th February 2024.
The Essence of "Dreamworld"
Filmed in July, "Dreamworld" is more than just a concert; it's a journey through the Pet Shop Boys' impressive catalogue. The film, directed by David Barnard, features a 14-camera shoot that vividly brings to life their greatest hits. These include classics like ‘Domino Dancing’, ‘What Have I Done to Deserve This?’, ‘It’s a Sin’, and the iconic ‘West End Girls’. The film not only showcases their musical prowess but also offers a lavish stage show and mesmerizing visual backdrops, all in front of an enthusiastic, sold-out crowd.
A Special Nod to "West End Girls"
"West End Girls", a significant hit for the Pet Shop Boys, has recently gained renewed attention. It was featured as an uncredited interpolation in Drake's latest album and covered by Sleaford Mods, with the Pet Shop Boys' blessing.
The Band's Connection with Australia
The Pet Shop Boys have a special history with Australia, though their appearances have been sporadic. Their last performance in the country was in 2014 at the Vivid Sydney event. This makes the "Dreamworld" screening an even more anticipated event for Australian fans.
