Dates are:

March 1, Melbourne, Festival Hall
March 7, Sydney, Hordern Pavilion

This is the first time New Order have visited Australia since the Big Day Out in 2002.

Things got wobbly for the band when founding member Peter Hook split with the rest of the group in 2007 sending the band into hiatus.

In 2011 the band, minus Hook, announced a reunion.

Sideshow tickets for the Sydney and Melbourne show go on sale on January 23.
