New sets of parameters (“tunes”) for the underlying-event (UE) modelling of the
pythia
8,
pythia6
and
herwig++
Monte Carlo event generators are constructed using different parton distribution functions. Combined fits to CMS UE proton–proton (
p

) data at
s
=
7
TeV
and to UE proton–antiproton (
p
p
¯
) data from the CDF experiment at lower
s
, are used to study the UE models and constrain their parameters, providing thereby improved predictions for proton–proton collisions at 13
TeV
. In addition, it is investigated whether the values of the parameters obtained from fits to UE observables are consistent with the values determined from fitting observables sensitive to double-parton scattering processes. Finally, comparisons are presented of the UE tunes to “minimum bias” (MB) events, multijet, and Drell–Yan (
