On my ticket, it says New Order & Pet Shop Boys - does that mean that New Order will perform first or??

I´ll be there too..and Philly and Madison..my first time on NYC, and going to a PSB concert outside my country!
I wonder how many people from here, people I know from years or maybe decades, I´ll be side by side going there.. but I´ll never know becuase I never see your faces!
If you know any good music stores around NYC, where to get some nice stuff, let me know!

I’m on the beg! Is there anyone who could get me a litho from the unity tour if they sell them please (not the current dreamworld one)? Goes without saying I’d pay all shipping to UK, customs etc along with the price of the item itself. If you can, please PM me!

Obviously both bands are going to bring 'greatest hits' shows for a tour like this. It's the smart thing to do.

Why? The tickets are sold. It’ll probably never happen again. It wasn’t billed as a “greatest hits” show. Why is it the “smart thing to do?”

Half the audience will be there to see New Order and be, at best, casual PSB fans. It makes sense to play greatest hits therefore and most likely these shows will be a shortened version of the recent GH setlist, possibly with another track or two thrown in for some variety.

That’s a decent point.

The new single.

I am absolutely beyond excited for the Toronto show. They’ve been my favourite musical artists since I was 10 (I’m 46 now)!! This will be the first time I get to see them live. I feel so grateful to be able to go, though also sad that I’ve missed so many other great tours. At least there are the DVDs & YouTube videos.

It's exactly this.They'll both play festival set lists designed to remind the non-fans in the audience how many bangers they have and hopefully win a few converts.

Those going to the show on Saturday in Toronto, can you please post pictures of the merch? I assume it will be the same as Dreamworld but would also love to see new shirt designs! Thanks!!

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some new Unity merchandise. They already have the logo / identity.

I wonder if Johnny Marr will play with NO and PSB at Madison Square Garden on 28 September?

Unity merch now available in the online store.

I hope PSB brings the Dreamland tourbook and other goodies as well!

Well, I don't know it but I guess they will play their festival setlist. Perhaps with some changes... I hope so. I can' t imagine they are playing Electronic stuff or Subculture. I' m a long time fan and I missed only performance (because I broke my leg one day before the concert in Berlin), Discovery and the university tour. I've heard all their hits several times. I've seen the Dreamworld tour twice and it' s still amazing to hear the songs live. Forget everything you have seen on YouTube. If you are a fan the best best advice I can give you is: go to see them.
And yes, I guess they will sell the Dreamworld tour merch also. There are also the places of the unity tour on the shirts...
I' m a bit jealous here in Europe that you have the chance to see PSB & New Order & DJ. Enjoy it.
