Pet Shop Boys

In 2005, the Pet Shop Boys were in the midst of a vibrant period in their career, following the release of their album 'Fundamental' earlier that same year. This album, known for its politically charged themes and synth-driven sound, showcased the duo's ability to evolve and stay relevant in an ever-changing music landscape. Their performance of 'Go West' at Live 8 in Moscow's Red Square was not just a highlight of the event; it symbolized the universal appeal of their music while promoting a message of solidarity and hope amid global struggles. The event itself, celebrated globally, reached over 2 billion viewers, marking a historic moment for both the band and the cause they supported. This live rendition exemplified their ability to blend pop sensibilities with poignant social commentary, which has always been a hallmark of their work.
