Blur / Pet Shop Boys

Berlin’s aptly named Berlin Festival went down over the weekend (9/6-7). The first day included sets from Blur, Pet Shop Boys, Mike Patton’s experimental alt-metal band Tomahawk, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez’s new band Bosnian Rainbows, The Sounds, Capital Cities, Big Black Delta, and more. Pictures of those bands and more, plus Blur and Pet Shop Boys’ setlists, are in this post.

The Sounds recently announced a NYC show happening on October 14 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (9/13) at noon.
