Synthpop superstars Pet Shop Boys have announced their final show of 2013 at this year's Hogmany in Edinburgh on New Year's Eve.
The band returned to the mainstream, and the Top Ten, with their 2013 album Electric, in July of this year - hitting No.3 and scoring huge critical acclaim. Now, they will close the year with an inevitably spectacular show to usher in 2014.
"We are delighted to bring this show to Scotland on New Year's Eve," says singer Neil Tennant. "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."
The duo were scheduled to perform on New Year's Eve in 2006 but were forced to cancel the show after heavy rain and strong winds forced organisers to cancel the annual party.

"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," says Pete Irvine, the artistic director of the Hogmanay event.
The 31 December concert will take place as part of the Concert In The Gardens event. Tickets are on sale Friday, 30 August, 2013. For more information visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
