Those awaiting the North American “Unity Tour” featuring New Order and Pet Shop Boys will have to wait a bit longer. After initially aiming for fall of 2020, the dates were postponed and then postponed again. The bands are now hoping the third time will be the charm and are rescheduling the trek for fall of 2022.
New Order unveiled the change in a statement on Twitter. “Due to continuing uncertainty caused by the Covid pandemic, [Pet Shop Boys] and New Order unfortunately have to announce that their much-anticipated Unity Tour of North America will be moving to next year,” they wrote. But it wasn’t all bad news.
First, the Grammy nominated DJ Paul Oakenfold has joined the “Unity Tour”, providing concert goers with a little more bang for the buck. Besides that, the tour has added a new stop at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, while the Seattle show at The Gorge Amphitheatre has moved to Climate Pledge Arena. Those in possession of tickets will have their purchases honored for the new dates, and those looking for tickets can get them through Ticketmaster or here. Check out the full itinerary below.
