Other hit songs include 'Go West', a cover of 'Go West', and their own 'Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)', and 'What Have I Done to Deserve This?' in a duet with Dusty Springfield.

Some of the Pet Shop Boys' biggest tracks of the last few decades include 'Jealousy', 'Paninaro', 'It's a Sin', 'King's Cross', 'Heart (disco mix)', 'Left to My Own Devices', 'Being Boring' and 'Flamboyant'.

‘Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live’ tour is Pet Shop Boys’ first ever greatest hits tour and has seen them receive rave reviews for the shows in the UK and across Europe.

As well as the success of the tour, Pet Shop Boys performed a headline set this summer on The Other Stage at the Glastonbury Festival, closing this year’s 50th Anniversary of the event, co-headlined the Unity Tour of North America with New Order and will headline Edinburgh’s Hogmanay celebrations with a special Dreamworld show on New Year's Eve 2022.
