# Super Tour

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."
