March 05: AUSTIN, TX + very special guests Future Islands
March 07: FORT WORTH, TX + very special guests Future Islands
March 10: HOUSTON, TX + very special guests Future Islands
March 13: NEW ORLEANS, LA + Zachery Allan Starkey
March 16: NASHVILLE, TN + Zachery Allan Starkey
March 20: MIAMI, FL + DJ Arthur Baker
March 21: MIAMI, FL + DJ Arthur Baker

Just those seven dates, four of which are in Texas which makes me scratch my head. Of all the places in the US, I just wouldn't associate New Order with Texas. Also, the Toyota Center??? Can they sell out an arena?

Someone on another board said that they shouldn't be called New Order since Bernard Sumner is the only remaining original member. I dunno...seems to work well for The Cure who put on killer shows. Robert Smith is the only remaining original member of that band.

Not gonna go out of my way to see them in New Orleans. Tickets are $132 for general admission, and I'd probably be disappointed after seeing the original four live in 1986.

I would go out of my way to see Peter Hook and the Light however. Ironic that he and Bernard are both touring with New Order songs.

Saturday is their induction into the Hall of Fame. Wish they'd still be on good terms because I would have loved to seen a couple of songs of theirs from Cleveland.

It is Bernard & a bunch of hired backup musicians now. He is the now the only original member touring. Drummer Stephen Morris & Keyboardist Gillian Gilbert are no longer touring due to health issues. I am going to pass.

Not true at all

Robert, Simon, Roger are Original. And Perry was still there until his death late last year.
Eden is Simon son. Which is super cool
And Jason has been there since 1995

Saw them a couple of years ago and they were great. They did a full set of Joy Division and a second set of New Order.

Saw them at as the headliners at both Cruel World and Darker Waves a couple of years ago. Throughly disappointed both times. They just mailed it in.

Let’s face it, Hooky was the only thing that made them an even decent live band. Without him, you’re just going to be let down.

I'm a huge New Order fan, but the current touring line-up doesn't inspire a desire to see them. I saw them ten years ago, and they were very, very good but Morris and Gilbert were still touring with them, Although Hook would have been a great addition, it was still worth it.

Now? Meh. That does remind me I need to see Hook again, though.

Thanks for this thread. Just got a Peter Hook and the Light ticket for a small 1,200 venue near me for $58.

You even posted above that Roger didn't join until the 80's. Dempsey was the original bass player. Smith is the only original member.

You get a free pass STigers because you weren't even born yet. I was listening to them in the late 70's.

From Wikipedia:

quote:

The Cure are an English alternative rock band from Crawley. Formed in May 1978,[1][2][3] the group originally consisted of vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist Robert Smith (the only constant member), bassist Michael Dempsey and drummer Lol Tolhurst.

The $130+ tickets for New Order is general admission standing. If you want a seat, it's approaching $450.

Hard pass.

NNew Order was pretty daggum popular in the 80's in Houston. They sold out the 713 Hall a few years ago without promotion but that's like 5,000 compared to 15k at Toyota.

No, but the original lineup of Smith, Dempsey and Tolhurst were not very impactful, and Dempsey didn't last long.

Simon Gallup joined in 1979 and played on the first Album. I’d say that’s pretty original.

You have anchor dates and build around it. Don’t need to sell out … just need to cover their guarantee
