Don't know if anyone mentioned it, but they stand in 30th position.
Though I've never seen anything special about their gigs, this confirms why so many people are following them for a whole tour.
Here is what they are saying about them:
Manchester’s formerly grumpy visionaries
Ideal Setting: The Manchester G-Mex Centre.
What To Expect: Four ageing punks (and occasionally Keith Allen) reeling off a selection of some of the best singles of the last 20 years. A New Order show is a different affair to the 1981 version though – instead of 40 minutes, no encore, no onstage banter, you get Bernard Sumner’s inane chatter and bad dancing and Peter Hook’s increasingly silly bass god poses. Beware the off-key singing, though and embrace the odd Joy Division tune they now add to the set.
Musn't Miss Moment: Blue Monday – new, improved, in tune!
Recommended Listening: 511 – Live At (DVD, Polygram, 2002)
The Song to Text Your Mates During: World In Motion – the feel good hit of the summer
