I'll be there. Bought my ticket this morning in Canberra. Can't wait going to be an ace gig.
I'm getting so excited for this gig and the festival on the Saturday.
I'll be recording both in HD, along with the Hooky Q&A and Closer show in April.
So far we have two exclusives: Round & Round and Here To Stay.
Fingers crossed Sydney is treated to something unique as well on both days.

yup...it'll be J-E-T-stream with Gillian Mantronix 
Saw New Order play Festival Hall in Melbourne 2 nights ago, Ceremony, Perfect Kiss, Temptation, LWTUA all standouts but really the entire gig was fantastic. Now flying back to my new hometown of Newcastle NSW and thinking of driving down to the Hordern Pavilion on Weds for the Sydney show. Anyone know any NO fans in Newcastle who might want to share a roadtrip to/from the gig???

Hello Nick, welcome to NOOL.
I normally will be in Newie but I've taken the day off on Wednesday - big significant day for me :D - so I will already be in Sydney the night before. Btw, one of the ladies next to me that night in Festival Hall, she's from Newcastle (small world) & she used to go to uni same time as me as well!!!..unfortunately she's now based in the Dandenongs with her hubbie...
Just created this FB album with photos, etc, if you want to check out my plans. :)

Sydney - New Order + Peter Hook Gigs: Before / After
So, here is the plan: Leave work 3pm this Wednesday and go straight to venue. Have all 3 batteries charged for the HD camera, get a front row standing spot and record entire gig with fantastic close-ups as I've previously done with Gary Numan, NIN, etc. Taking the sleeves for Brotherhood (favorite New Order album), Substance and WFTSC with me (the latter more for Phil Cunningham if I meet him, as he only played on that album and Get Ready in 2001). Got my sharpies. Got my shit prepared. The VIP seating for the festival on Saturday sounds really nice, too. Have a read.
//
Regarding the Peter Hook Q & A and subsequent gig for "Closer," they SAY "5 items signed," but Gary Numan signed a ton more than that for people when I saw him, so I'm taking extra vinyls just in case. Plus the set list and photo with Hooky from 2010 to see if he remembers me!
//
So meeting Hooky again is a given (got the VIP package), but I have my fingers, toes and balls crossed that I get to have a drink, take photos and have those New Order sleeves signed by Bernard, Gillian, Steve and Phil after the show, or in the interim between then and the Saturday festival.
//
Note: this album will be constantly updated until after the final show with Hooky on April 14. Wish me luck!
Couldn't help it - had to buy the CD version of the Brotherhood reissue today as well to go with the vinyl. Best NO album ever (imo).
thanks for posting back. With no F3 travel partners readily available I've opted to travel on the slowest train in the world but I will be there - Festy Hole gig was too good not to see a (hopefully) repeat performance!
Jealous of your gig listing.
Enjoy the show :-)))

Thanks, Nick , you too !!
Btw, did you know that back in 1987 New Order was supposed to come to Newcastle - they've even printed the date & venue 'Newcastle Workers Club' at the back of tour t-shirt - but changed the venue in last minute to Hotel Dee Why (I think, from memory..) I was gutted.....
I'll be there. I never completely gave up hope on seeing New Order live after the 2007 fracas. I missed them in 2002 and I only got into New Order in 1987 as a 14 year old and since I was living in country Vic I miised that tour as well.
Now the only problem is the flooding roads up here in SE QLD. Hopefully I can get to Brisbane airport so I can fly down to Sin City.

Never knew that! Tour listing I got from Factory back in Jan/Feb 87 said Sydney Dee Why, no Newcastle listing at all.

anyone still have the 1987 oz tour t-shirt? i'm sure the back of tee showed tour dates & venues with newcastle in it instead of dee why. i lost my tee way back but i remember it had 'brotherhood' cover pic printed one-sided on front of tee.
unless newcastle was never meant to be included and the local booking agency mixed up the venues, etc..
i could still remember it was big news for new order to play newcastle...you see newcastle in the 80s was a pretty dead town with high percentage of aged population. Young ppl were only there in the city for the university so Feb 87 was pretty quiet due to the university holidays. Maybe it was poor ticket sales that caused the cancellation & venue change?
Possibly down to poor pre-sales, yes. Mind you, Byron Bay was two nights before, was that all that big a show? I did recall reading a review of the E/SE coast shows back in the day, can't find the clipping now. Very detailed though about the various shows.

Urrggh don't speak of that tour. I'm still gutted. Just a bit too young to sneak into the two Perth gigs - licensed venues Canterbury Court and Red Parrot. My world revolved around NO back then and it took me another 11 years to actually see them live.
:\pimp3:
Between late 80's and late 90's I wore out 2 NO, 2 JD and a Warsaw tee. They were all threadbare before I tossed them. Anyone who still owns a readable '87 tour tee was into vacuum seal technology at a time when they should have been into beer. Doesn't mean I wouldn't give a nad to own one!
If NO continue what they have started and print venue-specific tee's for this tour is anyone going for the straight flush? Big ask getting between the 2 Future Music's.
I've only lived in Newcastle a few years so shouldn't judge but from what I hear of the city during BHP-era the NWC may have booked them then had a listen and said "Hey these guys don't sound like Barnesy, Choir Boys OR Rose Tattoo!!! Cancel!" So Dee Why it was.

Whoah you were at Reading 98 
I was in UK few years late in 2001 but remember 316 DVD was only just released then, bought that in UK when I didnt own a DVD player then :)
So excited for tomorrow. Are the guys likely to go to a bar afterwards? I'm willing to stay out as long as it takes to get stuff signed, get photos and have a chat.
the melb show was shit. bernie kept talking shit between songs for up to 2-3 minutes, then they wal;ked off stage for good 5 mins before dropping blue monday and love will tear us apart. that was their buildup. venue at festival hall melb was dirty and shitty, sitting on old wooden seats that made my arse numb. get fucjked.
