Pet Shop Boys are to play their only UK show at Edinburgh’s Hogmanay at the Concerts in the Gardens on New Year’s Eve.
The electronic pop veterans will kick start 2014 with the gig in the Scottish capital at West Princes Street Gardens.
According to organisers, the show will be the climax of their world tour which will have seen them perform 45 shows and festivals in 25 countries throughout the year.
The band’s performance will be separate to the street party and see the duo play their greatest hits along with tracks from their twelfth album Electric in West Princes Street Gardens.
Neil Tennant, the singing half of the duo, told the BBC: ‘We are delighted to bring this show to Scotland on New Year's Eve.
‘We've always felt we've had some unfinished Hogmanay business in Edinburgh after the weather put a stop to the planned 2006 show and this is going to be a fantastic way to see in the New Year.’

Since 1985 the Pet Shop Boys have sold more than 50m records, won three Brit Awards and had 22 singles in the UK top ten.
