New Order to stream 2017 ‘So It Goes’ live show with Liam Gillick this Friday April 17, 2020

New Order have announced that they’ll stream their 2017 show with artist Liam Gillick for the first time this Friday, forming part of Manchester International Festival’s new free online programme.

Originally presented as part of the festival in 2017, New Order + Liam Gillick: So it goes, saw the electro-pop icons performing at Manchester’s legendary Old Granada Studios, where Joy Division made their 1978 television debut on Tony Wilson’s So It Goes.

The 2017 performance also saw the band collaborating with Gillick on the show’s impressive immersive environment, crafting a stage set that responded directly to the music.

John McGrath, Artistic Director & CEO, Manchester International Festival said: “New Order are Manchester legends with a truly global influence and we’re thrilled to be returning to this fantastic show to kick off MIF LIVE.

“Over the coming weeks we’ll be giving people a peek into our archives, revisiting some of our much-loved Festival shows along with opportunities to hear some of the artists talking about their work, plus exciting new work from Manchester artists. We’re grateful for the support of our artists, partners, co-commissioners and rights holders who have enabled MIF LIVE to happen as we find different ways to share and connect during these difficult times.”

The exclusive new edit will be streamed at 7.30pm on Friday 17 April, 2020.

At the time of writing, New Order are still scheduled to play their only UK show for 2020, which is set to take place this autumn.

They will return to London for the first time since their 2018 show at Alexandra Palace with a headline date at The O2 on October 10.

New Order released their latest album ‘Music Complete’ in 2015. Since then, they have continued to tour across the world, including a handful of UK dates last summer. Reviewing their Bristol show in July 2019, NME said: “This was a night capable of stirring the heart and soul, and while there may be some significant pieces of the puzzle notably absent from this band, tonight there’s no room for any concern about that. Once again, New Order deliver with finesse and class.”

Gah, beat me by 2 minutes. I was just about to post the same on the original MIF thread.

"new edit"? I'm guessing shorter, so that people will still want to buy the thing at some point. Click for link to NO's page. [TWITTER]1250016540289912832[/TWITTER]

From what I understand it's the same footage that aired in 2017 (Shellshock through Plastic), but with improved audio taken from the live album which was recorded the same night.

Was at the gig & what a fantastic occasion. Have been trying to figure out a way to record the stream (.... is that allowed??) but have run out of time/skill to make it happen. If anyone is going to record, I'd love to find a way to get a copy ;-)

Thanks alot

Hmm. I thought we were gonna get more. I remember watching the YT live stream on the night and thought I had missed some of it. But I guess I hadn't...

You can see the setlist here, so I guess they jumped in at Shellshock and played through to the end of the main section of the gig (Plastic), but didn't stick around for the encore.

Yep, you were correct.A bit disappointing what was shown had already been shown in 2017 but watching the Haslam/Saville/Gillick live chat now.

"All I can do is assume that one was not asked for". We have an answer from Saville re: the plain black record sleeve for Subculture. All other fancy presumptions can go out the window now.

Saville: "they (the record sleeve designs) often went straight from me to the printers..." "The first time I knew they liked it was in '93 when Bernard said: I think you're getting the hang of it" re: Regret's sleeve.

I don't buy it. Rob Gretton was always on top of that, and the labels are set with typographic elements. If he didn't like the remixes (given as a reason previously), I think he'd probably find it more pragmatic these days not to say so.

If anyone missed it, the whole thing (part gig + Saville, Haslam, Gillick chat) is still up on the MIF's youtube page.

I believe it will be up for approximately 24 hours, so you might not have much change to catch it:

If anyone does happen to miss it and still wants to see it, drop me a PM. I've ripped it and stored it for posterity.
