hmmmm....raging egos/DJ gigs/yachting vs. pointless nostalgia/filthy lucre/movie tie-in/love will WHOOP us apart
He wanted Stone Roses a couple of years ago, he didn't get them either. Maybe The Smiths are interested?
He'll get The Verve, like it or lump it! 
But he did get Neworder in '05, so you never know. Fookin great craic the last time we were there.

Bit of a difference i think, but married life might change Bernards mind about going on tour...

And I think a healthy six-figure fee may well change all their minds about performing together. Again.
Do they play as a 3-piece, then?
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds, um, shit?!
I wouldn't stick a band playing Joy Division only 10th on the bill, let alone headline it. 
No,I'm with you Al.
I'd be thinking... Fuck's sake play some New Order.
New Order are soooo much better than JD IMO
I can only think of two slight problems with this idea......the bass player has left, and the singer's been dead for 27 years.

Good points Tim.
Just get Digital to play the gig then..Same diff,almost. That's if your diary is free,Tim.

Third slight problem:
IT'LL BE IN FUCKING JOCK-LAND.
Fourth slight problem:
IT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
Oh, I dunno - perhaps instead of New Order playing classic JD choons we'd get "Joy Division" covering classic New Order choons?

That might be even more difficult than getting Ian Curtis to attend!

Well, they could solve the 2nd problem by using Sam Reiley 
Hooky left New Order, did he leave Joy Division? 
j/k
how about they play half jd songs and half new order songs. and just go with it. then get the fuck out of dodge...and leave tonto behind..if you know what i mean...(no, not phil)
What a load of wooly witted SHITE!
Aye, get fuckin Mozart to play and all.
If the band agreed to this load of wank, I'd lose all respect for them (I'm sure they'd lose loads of sleep over that, but still).
Just dig 'im up and set him swinging behind the mic sure.

yeah, technically the bass player has not left joy division. Ah, yes it would be shit. Are they gonna be like the doors?
Weird attitudes here IMHO
The band have seemingly split, but they've been part of my life for 25 years now - so ANY chance of seeing them live again, in any guise, I'd jump at the chance to be there
