Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live was a worldwide concert tour by British synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. Billed by the group as "their first-ever greatest hits tour", the tour was originally announced on 11 September 2019, to take place in arenas across the United Kingdom from May to June 2020.[1] The dates were postponed several times as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It ultimately began on 10 May 2022, at Teatro degli Arcimboldi in Milan, scheduled to run through September 2024.[2][3][4][5] The tour would eventually end as the closing show for the 2024 iteration of Radio 2 in the Park in Preston.[6][7]
The tour also included stops at Glastonbury Festival in 2022 and the Primavera Sound festivals in Barcelona, Madrid and Porto in June 2023, as well as its Latin American counterparts in November and December 2023.[8][9]
In 2023, Pet Shop Boys released Smash: The Singles 1985–2020, a greatest hits album inspired by the tour.[10]
A film recording of the tour's stop in Copenhagen premiered in cinemas worldwide in January and February 2024, under the title Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live at the Royal Arena Copenhagen.[11]
