Pet Shop Boys to play Edinburgh's Hogmanay seven years after cancelled gig The Pet Shop Boys are to headline Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations seven years after their scheduled performance at the event was cancelled by bad weather. The band were supposed to take to the stage during the 2006/07 celebrations in Princes Street Gardens but high winds forced organisers to cancel the event. Singer Neil Tennant said the duo felt they have "unfinished Hogmanay business" and are "delighted" to be playing the gig. It will be the band's only UK performance of their Electric world tour, which they have so far performed in 25 countries this year. The will play a set of greatest hits along with tracks from their new album. Neil Tennant said "We are delighted to bring this show to Scotland on New Year's Eve. We've always felt we've had some unfinished Hogmanay business in Edinburgh after the weather put a stop to the planned 2006 show and this is going to be a fantastic way to see in the New Year. Pete Irvine, Artistic Director of Edinburgh's Hogmanay, said "The Pet Shop Boys are on top of the world at the moment, and with Edinburgh's Hogmanay being the only UK appearance of their spectacular new show, they are the perfect band to help us celebrate our 21st Anniversary at the very cusp of Scotland's most eventful year." The Pet Shop Boys have over 50m record sales worldwide and have won three Brits. They have had 42 top 30 singles and 22 top ten hits in the UK.
