Iconic British synth-pop band New Order announce an Australian tour with a concert in Perth on March 5 at the RAC Arena.

British post-punk band New Order will bring their iconic sound to Australia in March 2025, kicking off a west coast tour.

Ready to perform the biggest hits of their four-year, 10-album career, longtime local fans will realize their dreams of seeing them live on March 5th when the RAC Arena transforms into a laser-like synth-pop wonderland.

Returning Down Under for the first time since 2020, the band shared their joy at returning to our shores post-pandemic.

“I’m honored to return to perform at one of our favorite venues,” the band said in a statement.

“Unfortunately we had to cancel our Melbourne show in March 2020 due to COVID and we are thrilled to be able to return to perform again.

“We have always enjoyed performing in Australia and are excited to return for a series of special shows in 2025. Good things come to those who wait!”

Featuring iconic hits like Blue Monday and Bizarre Love Triangle, the band’s hypnotic sound left an indelible mark on the ’80s.

Sold 3.5 million albums worldwide. The electronic powerhouse celebrated the 40th anniversary of Blue Monday by sharing a reissue of their 1987 compilation album Substance.

Reborn like a phoenix after the tragic end of Joy Division following the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis, the first version of the band was formed in 1976.

Co-founder Peter Hook left the group in the 90s, and the group included Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris, Gillian Gilbert, Phil Cunningham and Tom Chapman.

Australian fans will be able to see New Order in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney in March 2025.
