Pet Shop Boys to support Take That

With only weeks to go until the start of the most highly anticipated tour of the year, Take That have announced that Pet Shop Boys are to be very special guests on the Progress Live 2011 Tour presented by Samsung.

Pet Shop Boys are the most successful duo in UK music history, having sold 50 million records. With classic hits such as 'West End girls', 'It's a sin', 'Go West' and, more recently, 'Love etc.', they have crafted a unique and hugely influential sound which has seen them achieve seven platinum, two gold and four silver albums in the UK alone. In 2009 they won the 'Outstanding Contribution To Music' award at the Brit Awards. Their ballet, The Most Incredible Thing, recently completed a sold-out, two-week season at Sadler's Wells in London.

Pet Shop Boys said today: 'We are delighted to accept Take That's invitation to be part of their Progress show and tour which is undoubtedly going to be one of the most exciting events of 2011. We look forward to every night being a huge celebration of pop music.'

Pet Shop Boys 40-minute set will include highlights of their recent Pandemonium tour which was designed by Es Devlin who is part of the creative team working on the Progress Live 2011 tour.
