‘Dancing star’ is the second song to be previewed from Pet Shop Boys’ eagerly awaited new studio album ‘Nonetheless’ which will be released on April 26. The album features 10 new songs and was produced by James Ford who has recently produced albums by Blur, The Last Dinner Party and Beth Gibbons.
 
The Guardian wrote of the forthcoming album: ‘…Nonetheless’ is gorgeous: buoyant with optimism, it basks in songwriterly lusciousness.’
 
In July Pet Shop Boys will play five sold-out nights at London’s iconic Royal Opera House, after headlining the Isle of Wight Festival and playing shows in Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester and Belfast (their first show in Northern Ireland in over 30 years). A European tour includes dates in Spain, The Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Finland and the Czech Republic.
