Most likely it has been moved to September 10, as it is supposed to be the Parklife eve event — the fes itself has now been rescheduled to Sept 11-12, which explains why the original Ticketmaster info briefly turned up and then disappeared.

Only a week away. I for one cant wait. First gig since lock down. Should be at sonic booms gig (ex Spacemen 3) tonight at yes in Manchester but unfortunately tested positive for COVID on Monday and been really ill with it as well (even though double jabbed) so well up for a party in the park next week as beginning to feel well again.
I have read it’s between 4pm and 8pm. Does anyone know if that is correct? Surely new order will be on when it’s dark? Does it mean new order on stage at 8pm? Any details appreciated.
^ Crikey that’d mean NO would take to the stage around 6pm which is a bit weird. Can’t imagine that 8pm finish is correct 😕
I got an email off premierr inn as i'm staying at heaton park and it says roads are closed from 8pm until 1am so no way is it a 8pm finish!

Thanks. That makes more sense. I wonder if it means no entry after 8pm

Fotz why do you say ‘avoid’. What do you know?
I know nothing!, as Manwell was wont to say
Dunno this gig just doesn't appeal to me.35,000 people and just standing there watching the same old set then trying to get out afterwards.Was in the crowd at Bluedot in summer 2019 and they had just become a cabaret act and i was surrounded by 18 year olds chatting relentlessly and looking at their phones and taking selfies.No moshing or any kind of energy , just thousands of idiots filming the gig on their phones.I went to Cities In The Park at Heaton Park in 1991 and though it was great, getting a bus back to Piccadilly Train Station was horrendous.
Fotz might just be coming down with an early onset case of The Mondays.
I would certainly brave it. I'd much rather be at that gig then stuck having to wait a year for The Unity Tour. Hot Chip and Working Men's Club interest me more as I've seen Pet Shop Boys a few times before.
Agree it’s a decent line up. Been so long that I’ve been to a gig I’m really looking forward to it. Also I think it will be a really good vibe as I think everyone else will be up for it, even if the set is very familiar!
One of my pet hates though is the constant filming with phones, what is the point. I limit myself to 3 or 4 pictures just as a memory I was there. Family day out for me shame the rain clouds will be over Manchester by Friday

They're my favorite new band. So envious of the folks who'll get to see this gig!
The COVID regs for this are basically, in big letters "use the NHS England app, get an LFT if you don't have NHS vaccination records" and then, buried at the bottom, "and if you're not from England, just do whatever your local government requires"
All three of us going over are double vaccinated, with Irish / EU certs but I can just see an argument getting in.
In Heaton Park, they didn’t look enjoying the playing, especially Bernie who seemed to be annoyed by his SG that was out of tune from quite early in the set. The band gave me an impression of going through the motions for the most part.
Halifax wins for me.
Seems they swapped out 'Tutti Frutti' for 'The Perfect Kiss' and 'Atmosphere' for 'Decades' between the Halifax gig and this.
I hadn't even noticed they didn't play TPK at Halifax. Strange to leave that out.
Heaton Park got a better setlist, at least.
For those who are in need of an antidote, search with New Order Heaton Park review. Some glowing reviews are there.
Glad to see the event seems to have gone well and the weather was reasonable. Just wasn’t fussed about going. Glad everyone who did go had a great time from what I’ve seen and read. Yes I read that John Robb review on Louder Than War. Quite long and gushing !
Yeah it ended up being a great day out. I was a bit anxious as I went with the Mrs and my 15 year old daughter (didn’t want any whingeing) look like is was going to rain all day, and was worried it would be a nightmare getting home.
It all went well. Daughter danced all night and absolutely loved it. It was like looking at my 15 year old self. Loads of youngsters around us which was good to see that the legacy of new order looks set to continue. Never rained at all and got back to the hotel easy on the tram.
Hot chip were very good as a warm up as well. Gutted I missed WMC but seen them before and I am sure I will again.
Be a rebel slotted in nicely and sounded good and not out of place at all. Yes the last part of the set is becoming a bit samey but excellent first hour and always ends well with Temptation.
Hopefully when I see them in London we may get treated to a new track that they are currently working on and a a few changes to the set list. Not sure how many years of touring they have got left in them so got to make the most of them whilst we can
Liked the actual set, didn't like the festival setup. Insane bar queues, huge queue to get in, no issues with the Irish covid pass though - any old paper with a harp on it would probably have worked. Poor signage, poor lighting on leaving. Not a chance you'd get your gig licence a second time for doing that in Dublin.
Transport back was a bit of a mess - I doubled back out to Bury and back in which took a while but have a feeling I'd still have been queuing for the tram by that time based on how many got on.

Hey did they say they are working on a new track during the concert or in a magazine interview, I would love to know. Thanks
I must admit i had a great night and really enjoyed the whole day tbh
I'm another who really didn't fancy it at all and was very close to not bothering
Luckily i took a punt and booked the premier inn heaton park as soon as i saw parklife was moved so getting in and out was painless,went in around 430 as wanted to see both support acts
Enjoyed WMC but i think they're trying a little too hard to look cool/uninterested with their blank stares...bar the frontman who acts like a total simpleton...i saw them come off stage and meet their mates straight after the set...all with massive smiles on their faces so why not show it on stage?
Hot chip i enjoyed too
I thought new order were great..was quite near the front but to the left of the stage and surrounded by younger people...i thought i'd made a mistake as they'd probably only know blue monday...how wrong was i they was all dancing,jumping and singing every word right from the off,,,as soon as they was singing the bass/synth lines from AOC i knew i was wrong
Yes the new order set is predictable but i don't really care when i'm there if i'm honest...i even enjoyed blue monday for the first time in years
Only disappointment is the JD encore but that's because i don't really like them,sorry
I was actually hoping for world in motion seeing as england got to the euro finals...sorry again
All in all a total triumph and i'd do it all again tomorrow...even if i spent a fortune and had the worst hangover i've had in a longtime yesterday

I'd agree with that. Might be a function of age, but I thought the facilities were fairly woeful - the bar service being a particular low light. We must have asked 5 or 6 stewards for basic info during the day and no one knew where anything was. God only knows what it must have been like over the weekend with close to 100k people around. We arrived early and left early so were at least saved the entrance / exit chaos.

Gillian mentioned "working on some ideas" (but not a specific track) in the Yorkshire Post interview that you posted. Phil also mentioned in a zoom interview a couple a months ago that something was being worked on but that it was "a secret".
