| Pet Shop Boys - The most successful duo in pop music history and known for lavish live shows |
The Pet Shop Boys have been announced as the headline act for this year's Splendour festival! The summer festival at Wollaton Park returns for a third year on Saturday 24 July 2010 with Pet Shop Boys headlining this year's festival. More acts will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
Last year, Splendour made its mark as on the festival circuit with a sell out, thanks to an impressive line up that included headliners Madness, The Pogues, Fun Lovin' Criminals as well as new and emerging artists on two other music stages. With a capacity of beyond 12,000, the festival will again become the city's major summer music event, and more acts for this year's events will be announced shortly.

Pet Shop Boys come to Nottingham on the back of nearly thirty years at the top as one of the UK's most successful bands. They have sold over 100 million records worldwide and are listed as the most successful duo in pop music history. Since 1986, they have had 42 Top 30 singles and 22 Top 10 hits in the UK, including four Number Ones: West End Girls, It's a Sin, Always on My Mind and Heart. At the 2009 BRIT Awards, Pet Shop Boys received an award for Outstanding Contribution to Music presented to them by Brandon Flowers from The Killers.
The duo's latest studio album, entitled Yes (continuing the tradition of single word titles) was released on 23 March 2009. It was followed with the live Cd and DVD Pandemonium released 15 February 2010, filmed and recorded live at the O2 Arena London.
