Can we all admit “the unity tour” is a horrible name? It implies there was animosity or a rift between the bands, which there never was (afaik).

So many more creative, and apt, choices.
I sincerely *love* Disco 2 and listen to it straight through regularly.

Or unity against a common foe...

It's not awful but I agree there are likely a number of better names one could come up with.

Who’s their common foe? The charts? 😂 it’s a bad name.

Agreed... and for two bands with such a brilliant backlog of iconic artwork over the decades, the promotional image is atrocious and below both their standards.

Retro. :)

If Erasure and PSB tour they can call it “unity”. Or NO and The Light.

Well the definition of unity online would seem to fit.

"the state of forming a complete and pleasing whole, especially in an artistic context."

There's literally nothing among those dates for the southern U.S. Any chance for additions?

New Order seem to avoid the south. They last played Atlanta in 2013 despite US dates every year since.

- Never been a big fan of New Order. Tried but I just couldn't get into them but I look forward to heard BLT and a few others live.
New order can be hit and miss especially there really old stuff but have you tried technique and republic albums?

They should call it one and three quarters. To represent it being the Pet Shop Boys and three quarters of New Order!

Please please please can this come to the UK?
Well no chance in 2020 I think

New Order are playing at the O2 on 10th October and that is their only UK date this year

you could say conventional ... and I could claim intentional
