English synth-pop bands New Order and Pet Shop Boys have announced the Unity Tour, a co-headlining tour occurring in the fall of 2020. The tour will kick off on September 5th at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto, Ontario, and close on October 2nd at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. The tour will include stops in Madison Square Garden in New York on September 12, and the brand new Chase Center in San Fransisco, California on September 30th.

New Order has been highly influential in both rock and electronic genres for decades. They have released 10 studio albums since the band came together in 1980, including their most recent 2015 work, Music Complete. The band has remained active touring, including headlining Music Tastes Good in 2018, and Tibet House US in 2017.

Like New Order, Pet Shop Boys first formed in the early 1980’s in England, and still continue to perform live and write new music. The band’s 14th studio album, Hotspot, just dropped in late January of last month, which includes the highly regarded single “Monkey Business“. In addition to the Unity Tour, Pet Shop Boys will be headlining Bilbao BBK Festival this coming summer.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
