Pet Shop Boys

Pet Shop Boys are delighted to confirm that they will be headlining next year’s edition of Bilbao BBK Live festival, which is now taking place between 7th and 9th July, 2022. In light of the continued uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, further details on the event will be released in due course. Full promoter statement below.

“We have been putting off and cancelling concerts and festivals for more than a year, and have decided to take things with a little more caution and calm and wait until after summer to announce the full line-up in, we hope, a more positive, upbeat context.

Today we can reconfirm the following acts already announced for next year: The Killers, Pet Shop Boys, Placebo, Bomba Estéreo, Caribou, BICEP live, Supergrass and slowthai.

We are working to confirm the rest of artists and will be also announcing some great new additions. We wish you an amazing summer and hope to meet again with more light at the end of the tunnel of this pandemic that is wreaking such havoc on all our lives.”

After the event

Typical day
Cars being towed away
Junk mail through the door
joins the post on the floor
Drilling
always someone drilling
somewhere in the city
authorised by committee
Permission is bestowed
according to postal code
Terms and conditions may vary
It's nothing out of the ordinary

…
