Pet Shop Boys are among the latest cohort of stars joining the Passport: Back To Our Roots initiative.
The It’s A Sin duo will perform a one-off show at Electric Ballroom in Camden at a to-be-determined date in 2021 as part of the campaign, which is offering fans the chance to win tickets to a series of intimate gigs in exchange for a small donation.
Also involved is singer KT Tunstall, who will hit the stage at The Windmill in Brixton and again at PJ Molloys in Fife, Scotland. Passenger, meanwhile, will perform at the Komedia in Brighton, with singer Russell Watson also taking part with a show at Stoller Wall, Manchester.
The Music Venue Trust (MVT) will receive 80% of the money raised. The remaining 20% will go to the Inner City Music charity, which operates non-profit Manchester venue, Band on the Wall.
Tickets to the concerts can be won via a prize draw that opens on September 14 and runs for two weeks. Dates for the concerts will be scheduled following the Covid-19 pandemic, when social distancing regulations have been lifted.
