Petshop Boys Birmingham 2022: when is the Resorts World Arena gig, what is the setlist and who is supporting?

London pop duo Petshop Boys are bringing their ‘Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live’ tour to Birmingham.

The group have had to wait a while for their visit to the West Midlands, as this show has been rescheduled not once, but twice.

The duo were originally due to play in Birmingham on 30 May 2020 and then 29 May 2021, but both of these dates were cancelled due to the pandemic.

Here’s what you need to know ahead of the Birmingham show, including if tickets are still available and what songs the group is likely to play.

When do Petshop Boys play in Birmingham?

The gig, which is now on its third date, will take place on Saturday, 28 May at the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham.

The show is part of the duo’s Dreamworld Tour which kicks off in Vienna, Austria on 12 May.

How do I get tickets for the Birmingham concert?

Several ticket categories are available, and prices range from £45.25 up to £127.75.

All tickets bought for the two previous dates will be valid for this event.

What is the setlist?

The tour has yet to start, therefore figuring out the setlist for the tour is difficult.

However, this is a ‘Greatest Hits Tour’, the first that the band has ever undertaken, and therefore we can expect to see the group play the songs that are instantly recognisable.

The duo will likely play their new single ‘DreamWorld’ which was recorded with Years & Years, as well as some other tracks from their latest album.

Be sure to listen out for some of the group’s classics, however.
