NEW ORDER
with special guests The Charlatans
Thursday 22nd August 2024 will see New Order return to Cardiff for a very special show – their first in the city since 1983! – and their first show in Wales since they played in Swansea in 1985. The special outdoor concert will take place at
Cardiff Bay as part of the Cardiff Bay Series, now in its third year and previously headlined by Primal Scream and The Chemical Brothers. New Order will be joined by a huge supporting bill including British rockers, The Charlatans.
Electronic music pioneers, New Order’s members hailed from Salford and Macclesfield, following the disbandment of Joy Division and are noted as being one of the first bands to bridge the gap between post-punk and dancefloor. This year the band celebrated 40 years of their hit ‘Blue Monday’ and announced reissued editions of their classic compilation ‘Substance 1987’, the band’s biggest selling album to date. With numerous awards under their belt and over 3.5 million albums
sold worldwide, summer 2023 saw New Order headline Barcelona’s Primavera Sound before they commenced their autumn UK and European tour.
Support comes from The Charlatans: Known for their blend of alternative rock, indie pop, and psychedelic influences, The Charlatans have released numerous successful albums throughout their career. Some of their most notable hits include ‘The Only One I Know’, ‘One to Another’, and ‘North Country Boy’. They gained popularity during the “Madchester” music scene, which emerged from Manchester, England.
The band – Tim Burgess, Mark Collins, Martin Blunt and Tony Rogers – recently released a career spanning vinyl box collection titled A Head Full Of Ideas and will head out on a series of dates at the end of the 2023. They have maintained a dedicated fan base and are recognized as one of the enduring and influential bands of the British music scene.
Presale tickets are available from Monday 4th December at 10am.
