There was an abundance of mutual appreciation when Pet Shop Boys brought their greatest hits tour to Leeds.
On a wonderful summer’s evening, 13,000 people packed out Leeds First Direct Arena to see 80s synth pop legends Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe. Ahead of their performance, a Ukraine flag was displayed on the stage screen as Pet Shop Boys continued their career-long flight against inequality.
The concert soon commenced. Pet Shop Boys have never been strangers to theatrics and showmanship. The impressive ever-changing staging started with Tennant and Lowe positioned under streetlights wearing metallic masks as they opened with Suburbia.
