New Order will play only one United Kingdom show in 2018 before heading across the Atlantic to tour Latin America.
The post-punk synth-pop group will play London’s Alexandra Palace on Nov. 9.
The British band, whose members originally came together as cult favorites Joy Division, is nearing its 40th anniversary.
In 2015, the three remaining original members were joined by new bassist Tom Chapman and multi-instrumentalist Phil Cunningham for “Music Complete”.
The band will play the Music Tastes Good Festival on Sept. 29 in California, before embarking on a fall tour of Latin America, including shows in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
The U.K. show was announced by the group on their website and on Twitter. Tickets go on sale at 9.30 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 7. JB
