Pet Shop Boys have announced that they will bring their acclaimed show ‘Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live’ to TK Maxx presents Lytham Festival 2026. The headline performance is set for Saturday, July 4, 2026, with tickets going on sale later this week.
Dreamworld arrives at Lytham Festival 2026
The show marks the duo’s first-ever greatest hits tour, which has already earned 5-star reviews and played to sold-out audiences across the UK, Europe, North America, and South America. Fans in Japan can also look forward to upcoming shows next year. Last summer, Pet Shop Boys staged a sold-out ‘Dreamworld’ residency at London’s Royal Opera House, while also headlining the Isle of Wight Festival and BBC Radio 2 In The Park.
Bringing the spectacle to Lytham Festival will carry special meaning, as it represents the biggest homecoming show yet for Chris Lowe, who was born and raised in nearby Blackpool.
Tickets will be available through a pre-sale at 5pm BST on Friday, October 3, followed by the general sale at 10am BST on Saturday, October 4 via lythamfestival.com.
