The Nightlife Tour

The Nightlife Tour started in Miami October 20, during which the Pet Shop Boys visited America, Canada, The Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium and France.

The remarkable and innovative stage set and design is by the celebrated architect Zaha Hadid, who they have asked to design a show with modular structure that could fit in venues of different sizes; the costumes are by Ian MacNeil; the lighting design is by Marc Brickman. Onstage they have four male backing singers and Sylvia Mason-James, and on "What have I done to deserve this?" Neil is joined by the disembodied voice of Dusty Springfield whose image is projected onto the back of the stage. For the first half of the show they wear their longer wigs; for the second half, short ones.

The concert was later released on a DVD called montage. It's a unique concert film featuring live footage presented simultaneously over layers of backdrop projections and videos. The main concert footage was filmed over two nights in Germany; this was then augmented with material collected from many different sources, including news footage and filmed footage from shows on the American leg of the tour. The film also utilizes the original projections of the show, plus parts of Pet Shop Boys' videos and other films.
