Pet Shop Boys bring their acclaimed Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live show back to Germany in summer 2026, combining big open-air nights with rare club concerts. According to a German Eventim announcement dated May 27, 2026, the duo will play Mönchengladbach, Berlin’s Waldbühne and two exclusive Obskur Pet Shop Boys shows at Huxleys Neue Welt.
German Dreamworld dates in July 2026
For fans in Germany, the key dates are set for mid-July 2026. Public broadcaster WDR4 lists Pet Shop Boys on July 10, 2026 at the SparkassenPark in Mönchengladbach and on July 11, 2026 at the Waldbühne in Berlin as part of the Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live tour, with tickets already on sale.
Music magazine Musikexpress also highlights these two open-air shows, noting that the British duo return to Germany with a greatest-hits production that focuses on their classic singles and costs between roughly 77 and 134 euros depending on ticket category, underlining the scale of the events for German audiences.
Obskur Pet Shop Boys club nights in Berlin
Beyond the big arenas, Pet Shop Boys have also confirmed two much smaller Berlin club shows. Ticketing platform Eventim reports that under the title Obskur Pet Shop Boys, the band will play on July 12 and 13, 2026 at Huxleys Neue Welt in Berlin, with tickets for these dates going on sale on May 29, 2026 at 11 a.m.
These Obskur nights are marketed as a contrast to the Dreamworld hits production, with Eventim describing setlists built around album tracks, B-sides and fan favorites that rarely appear live, giving long-time followers in Berlin a chance to hear deeper cuts in a more intimate setting than the Waldbühne.
