New Order

New Order come to Dublin for a show at 3Arena on 1 October 2023. Confidence Man are special guests with Confidence Man & DJ Tintin as opening support. 

In January this year, the band released the Definitive Edition of their 1985 album Low-Life, followed by the 40th Anniversary of their iconic single Blue Monday on 7 March, releasing a range of merchandise available exclusively via their online store here.

From the ashes of legendary band Joy Division, New Order triumphed over tragedy to emerge as one of the most influential and acclaimed bands of all time.

Their debut Movement (1981) was overshadowed by the sound of Joy Division; going forward the band combined post-punk with influences from New York’s club scene, the result was Power, Corruption & Lies (1983). 1983 also saw the release of “Blue Monday” which became the best-selling 12-inch single of all time, selling over 3 million copies worldwide.

New Order then released the albums Low-Life (1985), Brotherhood (1986), Substance (1987) and Technique (1989). Between several brief hiatuses and line-up alterations, Republic (1993), Get Ready (2001) and Waiting for the Sirens’ Call (2005) came out.

Phil Cunningham joined the band in 2001, followed by Tom Chapman in 2011 to complete the current lineup alongside founder members Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert.

The band released their critically acclaimed tenth studio album Music Complete in 2015 featuring guest vocals from Iggy Pop, Brandon Flowers and Elly Jackson of La Roux.

Never resting on their legacy, New Order continue to perform live around the world, playing some of the biggest shows of their career to date, headlining Manchester’s Heaton Park and London’s O2 in 2021 and a US arena tour with Pet Shop Boys in Autumn 2022.
