New Order: Live stream from Manchester International Festival


A portion of New Order's set from tonight's gig at the Manchester International Festival will stream live this afternoon. The band's series of shows backed by a 12 member synthesizer ensemble with visuals by Liam Gillick have been getting rave reviews from fans and music critics alike.

The set is scheduled to stream at 9:10 pm local time (4:10 pm ET) here. It is unclear at this point whether it will be geoblocked, but fingers crossed it'll be available to view in North America.

New Order's final show of the Manchester International Festival residency takes place July 15th.

UPDATE (7/15): If you missed the live stream, view below. Video begins with an excellent discussion of New Order by visual designer Liam Gillick and legendary Hacienda DJ Dave Haslam. Note: the full show did not stream live (the stream begins with "Shellshock" and ends with "Plastic").





Here's a few fan-filmed videos of songs from previous NO shows that weren't included in the stream.
