Pet Shop Boys promise 'hi-tech' tour

Pet Shop Boys have said that their upcoming tour will be more "hi-tech" than their last.

The duo play a number of European festivals in support of tenth album Yes, including dates at Latitude, T In The Park and Oxegen.

Keyboard player Chris Lowe told Billboard: "We're also headlining Roskilde this summer which was actually the first festival we ever played, so that should be good.

"Because we started off just making records, we never imagined playing live at all. Eventually we started playing tours and then we ended up playing festivals, it's all been very gradual."

He added: "I think the idea is to be more hi-tech and more multimedia than the last show. It's not going to be a costume drama but there might be a few wigs."

"We're touring in Europe this summer, then we're going to North, Central and South America in the autumn. Then in the new year we're going to South East Asia and Australia, then we're going to be coming back over and carrying on with our music for the ballet."
