Iconic synth-pop pioneers, New Order will be back in Australia for a tour in March 2025. The tour will see them perform all the biggest hits from their impressive four-decade, 10-album career on stages across Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney in March 2025.
Their first Australian tour since 2020, New Order will transform some of the country’s most beloved live music venues into synth-pop laser wonderlands. They hit RAC Arena (Perth) on March 5, Sidney Myer Music Bowl (Melbourne) on March 8, Riverstage (Brisbane) on March 11, and finishing up with two shows on the spectacular Sydney Opera House Forecourt on March 14 and 15. Tickets available now from teglive.com.au.
Thrilled to be returning to Australian shores, the band shared, “It’s an honour to be coming back to perform in one of our favourite places. We sadly had to cancel a Melbourne show in March 2020, as a consequence of Covid and are so happy we can come back to play again. We’ve always loved playing in Australia and are excited to be returning for a run of very special shows in 2025. Good things come to those who wait!”
Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips was one of those who was looking forward to the cancelled 2020 NEW ORDER Melbourne gig when covid hit, so was thrilled to chat to original Joy Division/New Order drummer Stephen Morris about his career, gear and the upcoming 2025 Australian tour.
From the ashes of the legendary band Joy Division, New Order has triumphed over tragedy to emerge as one of the most influential and acclaimed bands of all time. Last year, they celebrated 40 years of their hit Blue Monday and shared a reissued edition of their classic compilation Substance 1987, the band’s biggest selling album to date. With mountains of awards under their belt and over 3.5 million albums sold worldwide, New Order have proven they are a force within the industry, and are as relevant as ever, having won over fans of all ages, even headlining Barcelona’s Primavera Sound last year.
The band first visited Australia in 1982, shortly after the release of their debut album, Movement. Over the years, they have returned multiple times, captivating Australian audiences with their unique blend of post-punk and electronic music, and they’ll be back in 2025 to play through all their hits – Blue Monday, Temptation, Bizarre Love Triangle – just to reel off a few.
