Pet Shop Boys and Scissor Sisters announced for concert at Royal Sandringham Estate in August this year

Two more huge acts have been announced for a concert at the Royal Sandringham Estate this summer - completing the line-up for the series of shows this August.

Pet Shop Boys, along with special guests, the recently reunited Scissor Sisters, will take to the stage on Thursday, August 14.

The duo - made up of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe - will perform their ‘Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live’ show.

Pet Shop Boys have been listed in The Guinness Book of Records as the most successful duo in UK music history.

Since signing to Parlophone Records in 1985, they have achieved 44 Top 30 singles in the UK including 22 Top 10 hits and four number ones.

In their live shows, Pet Shop Boys have created an “original style of pop musical theatre”, collaborating with directors, designers and artists including Derek Jarman, David Alden and David Fielding, Zaha Hadid, Sam Taylor-Wood, Es Devlin and Tom Scutt.

Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live kicked off in Milan in May 2022 touring arenas and festivals across Europe and the UK to great acclaim.

Last year, Dreamworld played a sold-out five-night residency at the Royal Opera House, as well as headline performances at the Isle of Wight Festival and Radio 2 In The Park, in Lancashire.

As writers, producers and remixers, Tennant and Lowe have collaborated, remixed or written for a wide range of artists including Dusty Springfield, Lady Gaga, Liza Minnelli, Blur, Madonna, David Bowie, Yoko Ono, The Killers, Girls Aloud, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher and the Sleaford Mods.

In 2000, they received the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music and at the 2009 BRIT Awards they were presented with the award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.

Meanwhile, Scissor Sisters recently announced their first live shows in over 12 years, marking the 20-year anniversary of the band's debut album Scissor Sisters, one of the UK's 40 best-selling albums of all time.

Lead singer Jake Shears, plus multi-instrumentalist Babydaddy and guitarist Del Marquis, return with their “signature mix of showmanship, song-craft and galvanising queer energy”.

The album Scissor Sisters was the best-selling album in the UK in 2004, selling more than three million copies globally (a total of two million of these were UK sales).

Ranked as the 20th biggest-selling album of the 21st century in the UK and the 35th biggest-selling album of all time, the album went 9x Platinum in the UK, and won three BRIT Awards in 2005, including Best International Album, Best International Group and Best International Breakthrough Act, making Scissor Sisters the first act ever to win all three international categories.

Giles Cooper, from Heritage Live Festivals, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be staging a show for the legendary Pet Shop Boys at Sandringham this summer.

“It’s been an ambition of us all at Heritage Live to have them perform at one of our events at some point, but for the stars to have aligned to make it happen at the spectacular Royal Estate will make this show absolutely, awesome.

“And having Scissor Sisters as special guests will make this one of those nights that we will never forget for the rest of our lives.”

The event is the final show to be revealed for this year's series of large-scale outdoor music concerts on the Royal Sandringham Estate, presented by Heritage Live Festivals, which will run from Thursday, August 14 to Sunday, August 17.

This follows the announcement of Mariah Carey who will perform an exclusive UK headline show on Friday, August 15, Stereophonics on Saturday, August 16, and Michael Bublé on Sunday, August 17 - his only UK show of 2025.

Gates for the events at the Estate in 2025 will open at 2pm, so that audiences can come and spend a full afternoon and evening enjoying the food and drink on offer from the wide variety of bars and artisan food traders, in a picturesque setting as a backdrop for a full bill of live music.

Glamping has also been introduced for the 2025 events, allowing guests to camp in style on the Royal Estate.

VIP packages are also available, which include guided tours of Sandringham House, and the opportunity to enjoy a food hamper in the Sandringham gardens.
