Review of Pet Shop Boys Durban


Last week I was invited by Seed Experiences to experience the Pet Shop Boys concert in Durban.
It was a magical evening in Durban and as the crowd started to form we were introduced to the wonderful dance grooves of GoodLuck.

GoodLuck

They had the crowd dancing on their feet as the late afternoon turned into evening.
A really great South African music group.

Up next was GoldFish the electro dance group.  They were just back from a gig in Dubai and had the audience pumping with their latest dance grooves.  Their set was on fire. Another great SA band.

GoldFish

As more and more people moved to the front of the audience it was time for the Pet Shop Boys.

Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys

This was the band that everyone had come to see.  They certainly did not disappoint.

The group played all of their memorable hits including 'West End Girls' and 'It's A Sin'.
After giving the audience a stunning tour de force they ended the night with one of their classics 'Go West'.

Look out for their latest album Electric.
You can find out more about them on their website: http://www.petshopboys.co.uk/

Thanks to Seed Experiences for the top class event for Durban.
