Pet Shop Boys To Land at Roig Arena on July 23 With Their First Concert in Spain in 2026

The British duo Pet Shop Boys will perform on July 23 at Roig Arena in a concert celebrating four decades of hits as part of their Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live tour. It will be their first concert in Spain in 2026 — followed by a festival date in Santander — and will also mark their return to the city of Valencia nineteen years later.

Since signing with Parlophone Records in 1985, the duo formed by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe has placed 22 singles in the UK Top 10, including four No. 1 hits. They have released 15 studio albums, topping charts around the world, and have been included in the Guinness Book of Records as the most successful British duo in history. Their concerts are noted for a distinctive “pop musical theatre” approach, featuring collaborations with renowned directors, designers and artists such as Derek Jarman, David Alden, David Fielding, Zaha Hadid, Sam Taylor‑Wood, Es Devlin and Tom Scutt.

Throughout their career, Pet Shop Boys have headlined major festivals including Glastonbury, Primavera Sound and Sónar Barcelona. In 2009, the BRIT Awards honoured them with the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award. In addition to collaborating as writers and producers with artists such as Madonna, David Bowie and Noel Gallagher, Pet Shop Boys are also the writers of the West End musical “Closer to Heaven”.

Registration is now open on the Roig Arena website to access the exclusive presale taking place on Thursday, March 26 at 10 a.m. General tickets will go on sale on Friday, March 27 at 10 a.m. at www.roigarena.com.
