The Super Tour was synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys' 2016–19 world tour in support of their album Super. The tour started as a four-night residency entitled Inner Sanctum at the Royal Opera House in London, and visited North America, South America, Europe and Asia.
Concept
For the first time in many years, Pet Shop Boys have a full band playing with them onstage (mostly consisting of keyboardists, vocalists and percussionists).
Critical reception
Joe Lynch from Billboard described the New York City concert as "There was a stark white-and-black arcade game aesthetic, a picturesque sunset paired with smoky wide-beam lasers, concentric circles rendered in vibrant greens, blues and pinks, and glowing, multi-colored balloons at the close of the show."[2]
