New Order have released a new ‘Blue Monday’-themed t-shirt in support of mental health charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), for the third year running.The shirt comes in honour of Blue Monday – the third Monday in January deemed the “most depressing day of the year”.It marks the third time New Order have teamed up with CALM in honour of the day – having previously released ‘Blue Monday’ t-shirts in 2023 and 2024. In October last year, they also joined forces with the charity for World Mental Health Day for a suicide prevention video.This year, the shirt features the original synth used to write the 1983 track, alongside the lyric: “I find it so hard to say what I need to say”.Commenting on the limited edition t-shirt, New Order said: “Starting a conversation with somebody could be the most important conversation that person ever has.

Erol Alkan has marked the 18th anniversary of the London indie and electro club night Trash closing down by sharing his classic DJ set from 2002.Trash was best known for its connections to the 2000s scenes like the garage rock revival, electroclash and new rave.Bands like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, Scissor Sisters, Bloc Party and Klaxons performed there early on in their careers.

New Order have addressed rumours that they are on the cusp of sharing a new album and announcing details of a 2025 world tour.The iconic ‘80s band haven’t shared a record of new material in nearly a decade, with their last studio LP arriving in the form of 2015’s critically acclaimed ‘Music Complete’.Over recent months, some fans began speculating that a new release was on the way, along with details of new tour dates planned for the new year. Now though, the band have shared an official statement on their website and confirmed that there are no announcements for a new album or live shows on the horizon.“We always want to keep our fans informed of the latest news about New Order, and we always share official news across our social media channels and our website, first,” the post began.“We are aware of news that claims the band will be releasing a new studio album and will be embarking on a world tour, news that is incorrect,” it added, also urging fans to only believe updates shared through the band’s official social media platforms.While New Order haven’t shared an album since ‘Music Complete’, they did return in 2020 with their first new material in five years.

New Order and Peter Hook have paid tribute to their former collaborator Quincy Jones, who they say “made us big in America”.The legendary producer and songwriter died on Sunday (November 3), aged 91. His long career saw him collaborate with the likes of Ray Charles, Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra, and he went on to produce Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’, to this day the biggest selling album of all time.Among the countless great artists Jones impacted was New Order, who were signed to Qwest Records in the US, Jones’ own label. In 1988, Jones also remixed the Manchester band’s classic single ‘Blue Monday’ alongside John Potoker, which was released under the title ‘Blue Monday 1988’ and reached Number Three on the UK charts, surpassing the song’s original high of Number Nine.Writing on X/Twitter, New Order founding bassist Hook shared his tribute to the producer.

The Smashing Pumpkins‘ Billy Corgan has appeared on a podcast that charts the history of New Order, where he explains why the band’s “alien quality” landed with Generation X in the US.In the latest episode of Transmissions: The Definitive Story of Joy Division & New Order, released yesterday (September 19), host Maxine Peake focused on how the band’s first-ever US tour in 1980 came to be. Corgan chimes in to contextualise the unique connection British music sparked with the Gen Xers who were coming of age.Describing a generation of “latchkey kids” who had “too much TV” and “too much time alone”, the “alien quality” of bands like New Order began to resonate.“Bands like New Order seem to find that, ‘Yes, you’re young, Yes, you wanna fall in love and ‘es, you’re having your heart broken, but the world kind of isn’t the way it appears to be,'” he elaborates.Listen to the podcast episode below, which also features anecdotes from techno producer Kevin Saunderson and writers Andrew O’Hagan and Audrey Golden, along with interviews with current and former band members Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris, Gillian Gilbert and Peter Hook.A band like New Order, he continues, signified to kids like Corgan that “there was this other world out there that was cooler, had more depth of feel, had a level of sophistication even about teenage angst, that you certainly weren’t getting from America, particularly in the rock scene in the 80s.”He likened discovering New Order as a teenager to feeling like “the kid who sits in the back of the class because ‘nobody understands me and I got my weird trench coat'” from a typical John Hughes movie.“The minute you heard New Order, you were like, ‘They’re one of me’ or ‘I’m one of them’.

Cold Cave’s Wesley Eisold has joined Peter Hook onstage to play a cover of New Order’s ‘Procession’. Check out footage of the moment and the full setlist below.The onstage collaboration between the two took place at the Humphrey’s venue in San Diego on Monday (September 16), as Peter Hook performed alongside his band The Light.While the former New Order and Joy Division bassist has been underway with his run of US tour dates for a little while now – playing the ‘Substance’ albums from Joy Division and New Order in full – the gig in San Diego saw him catch his crowd off guard as he introduced the Cold Cave artist.The collaboration took place at the very beginning of Hook’s 30-song setlist, as he opened the show with the 1981 New Order song ‘Procession’.

Kamala Harris, has showed off his new vinyl record haul – which includes classic LPs by The Stone Roses and New Order.Ahead of yesterday’s Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the latter’s husband Doug Emhoff and the Governor of California Gavin Newsom made a surprise visit at the Latchkey record store in Philadelphia.The pair each bought two LPs, showing off their haul in a video posted to Emhoff’s social media. In the video – which you can see below – Doug said while unveiling the two records he had purchased: “These are two records that I still listen to, to this day.”The records he pulled out of the bag turned out to be The Stone Roses’ self-titled 1989 debut album and New Order’s ‘Brotherhood’, released in 1986.

Peter Hook & The Light have shared some new UK live shows for 2025, which will see them perform New Order’s ‘Get Ready’ in its entirety.Taking place next spring, the run of live shows will comprise three dates across the UK, and will see the former New Order and Joy Division bassist revisit the band’s somewhat overlooked seventh studio album, which arrived in 2001.The shows will kick off at the Marble Factory in Bristol on April 17, before continuing the following night (18) with their first show in London since last October, taking place at the Troxy. The final of the three scheduled dates will be held on April 19 at the 3,500-capacity O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester.

New Order have responded to fans’ comments after having to cancel their Cardiff Bay show on Thursday due to “extreme weather”.Yesterday (August 22), it was announced that the band’s gig at Cardiff Bay had been cancelled on “health and safety grounds”.The show was due to mark New Order’s first UK performance of the year, but was called off due to “extreme weather” conditions in the area. No plans have been shared about rescheduling the show.Some disappointed fans pointed out to the band that by the time the show would have started, the storm had largely cleared from the Cardiff area, and now the band have responded to the comments on their social media accounts.“Further to our announcement that the gig has been cancelled tonight, we’d like to make it clear that the extreme weather that caused the cancellation of the event was earlier this morning,” they wrote.A post shared by New Order (@neworderofficial)“Independent Health & Safety officials determined that the site was unsafe for staff to work during this period, which meant staff were unable to do the essential works to make the site safe or to install New Order’s production.”“It was not a decision taken lightly and New Order are very sorry that this was out of their control,” they added.“All tickets will be refunded automatically, we have been told that you should allow 10 business days for the refund to appear in your account.”Storm Lilian has been raging through England and Wales over the last 48 hours, with campers at this weekend’s Leeds Festival being warned on Friday morning to secure their tents amid possible 60mph winds.We are sorry to say that our show tonight in Cardiff is cancelled due to high winds on site.

New Order gig set to take place in Cardiff later tonight (August 22) has been abruptly cancelled on “health and safety grounds”.Announced back in November, the mammoth headline date was set to be held at Cardiff Bay tonight. It would have featured support from The Charlatans, and marked New Order’s first UK performances since their run of dates last year.Now, The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess has shared an update with fans, explaining that the show has been axed just hours before it was due to begin.The reasoning behind the last-minute cancellation comes from “extreme weather” conditions in the area, and at time of writing there are no plans to reschedule the show.“Unfortunately due to extreme weather including severe winds, tonight’s New Order show has been cancelled on health and safety grounds,” read the update originally shared by The Bay venue.

Peter Hook has taken aim at songs written with the help of AI, saying that each one created has always been “shit”.The former New Order and Joy Division bassist weighed in on the ongoing debate around the use of artificial intelligence to help create music during an appearance on the XS Noize podcast, stating that he is firmly against using the technology to create art.When posed the question, Hook went on to compare the output to that of the music from icons like David Bowie, and imply it is insulting to those who honed in on their craft for years.“When you look at someone as good as David Bowie at writing songs and marvel. ‘Drive-in Saturday’, ‘The Prettiest Star’.

Maxxxine has arrived in cinemas, but what songs are on the film’s soundtrack? Check them all out here.The official trailer for MaXXXine landed back in April and it promises a violent, mysterious and action-packed ending to Ti West’s popular horror trilogy.The third instalment in West’s horror series starring English actor Mia Goth is set about six years after the events of X.The trilogy began in 2022 with X, the slasher film which follows the cast and crew working on a pornographic film in Texas who find themselves threatened by a homicidal an elderly couple.Released six months later was Pearl, which told the origin story for the villain who would commit violent murderous acts at her Texan family home in 1918.Maxxxine is a direct sequel to X, with Goth reprising her role as Maxine Minx, and co-producing the film.In a four star review of the new film, NME said: “Given slightly less opportunity to impress here (only one role this time, and no monologues), Goth still outshines everyone else in sight. Just as sweetly unsettling as she was in the other two films, now turned ball-stomping survivor she caps the series with another one of horror’s greatest performances.“MaXXXine is far too good to be the end of the story.

New Order’s Bernard Sumner has made a rare public statement to condemn Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the government at large.The frontman took to his website to share a message, beginning his statement: “I don’t normally post much and don’t normally post about stuff like this – but I do care about it.” He went on to highlight two news stories: firstly, the announcement that the government looking to overhaul Personal Independence Payments for people with mental health issues, which Sumner branded as “a disgusting way to cut costs.”Sumner went on to suggest the move was “probably an attempt to recoup some of the money they wasted on ineffective personal protective equipment (PPE) during the Covid pandemic,” calling it “a scandalous waste of money.”“According to the government’s own figures the Department for Health & Social Care (DHSC) lost 75% of the £12 billion it spent on PPE in the first year of the pandemic to inflated prices and kit that did not meet the required standards – including fully £4 billion of PPE that will never be used by the NHS and needs to be disposed of, ie burnt,” he wrote. “A scandalous waste of money and, as usual, it’s the sick and vulnerable who suffer for it.

New Order have released a new ‘Blue Monday’-themed t-shirt in support of mental health charity CALM for the second year running.2023 saw the band and designer Peter Saville come together to mark the January date known as Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year.For last year’s T-shirt, New Order and Saville created a t-shirt based on the design for the band’s 1983 track.For 2024, a similar design has been used, but with the added text and ‘Blue Monday’ lyric: “How does it feel?”The t-shirts are available to buy now here for £25, with £10 from each going to CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably).Yeah, it's great we're all chatting about supporting each other cause it's #BlueMonday. But let's not forget that depression doesn't care what day it is.Don't wait for a certain day.
