The North American Tour 2012 was a concert tour by the English rock band New Order.

"We've been having such a great time together this year, playing shows all over Europe, and we're all really excited to be playing America again. We have so many friends and fans there we can't wait to get back!"

Bernard Sumner, Rolling Stone, 2012.[1]

Background[edit]

In July 2012, New Order announced their first North American tour in seven years. Initially scheduled to play six shows in the United States and one show in Canada, the band later added additional shows at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City and the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto, along with their very first show in Mexico as part of the Corona Capital Festival held annually at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez (Rodríguez Brothers Racetrack) in Mexico City.[2] The Toronto shows were the band's first in Canada since 2001.
