Maybe I´m flying too high...but expecting a guest artist extra collaboration on some of the concerts (Madison maybe??) is a nonsense?? Brandon? Gaga?

Anyway..I hope this bloody Coronavirus get some favorable turn on the next 6 months...please...

I expect something in LA.

I think it’s more likely they’ll collaborate on each other’s songs. I can imagine a shared encore with both bands on stage. Something like It’s Alright and Blue Monday, or Love Will Tear Us Apart and Go West.

I can imagine them performing an Electronic song such as Disappointed or Getting away with it.

Let it be True Faith simply sublime !, and Neil and Chris love that song.

I see New Order have announced a new Manchester date in September. I guess that means the Unity tour must be postponed again or cancelled.

Does this date conflict with a Unity date?

Ah, no, apologies. They are a week apart.

Sounds like they'll be using their own gig as a warm up for the Unity tour

I wonder if PSB will use the full Dreamworld staging for the Unity shows, or if it’ll be more stripped back, like the Electric Ballroom concert. Conscious they’ll have to stage a show that also accommodates New Order’s requirements.

God, I hope not. Seriously considering selling my tickets if the set list is the same and there are no Electronic songs. If it’s just a PSB/NO “best of” show then I’m out.

I’d guess that’s exactly what it’ll be. PSB Dreamworld festival setlist plus NO’s most recent festival setlist. It would be odd if PSB worked up a whole new set for an audience that haven’t yet seen their current show. But I can’t imagine it would logistically make sense to have different staging for the two bands, making me wonder if it’ll be stripped back.

I’d be surprised if they do any Electronic tracks given no Johnny. But I could imagine a joint encore - Neil and Chris guesting on Blue Monday would be fantastic.

Marr has played “Getting Away With It” live with his band; if they don’t play something from Electronic on this tour I will be severely disappointed (no pun intended) and will definitely sell my tickets.

I bought very expensive tickets for the Chicago gig based upon this being billed as full set lists by both bands, meaning NOT truncated or festival set lists!!! Anything less that the full 26 song Dreamworld set list by PSB will be a total rip-off in my mind!

Are you expecting a 5 hour show? That might be difficult at some venues with sound curfews.
