Originating from Manchester, England, New Order formed in 1980 after the end of Joy Division and pioneered a fusion of post-punk and electronic dance music, becoming one of the most influential bands of the 1980s. The band has released a total of ten studio albums, several live albums, and numerous compilations. Their innovative music and unique sound have garnered them critical acclaim and commercial success around the world. Music Complete (2015) remains their most recent studio album.

New Order’s chart success includes albums like Power, Corruption & Lies and Low-Life, which were pivotal in the development of dance-rock. The band received the Q Outstanding Contribution to Music award in 2015, and Joy Division/New Order were named to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 2026 Performer class. New Order’s current lineup consists of Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Stephen Morris (drums, keyboards), Gillian Gilbert (keyboards, guitars), Phil Cunningham (guitars, keyboards), and Tom Chapman (bass, keyboards). Founding bassist Peter Hook departed in 2007. New Order’s ability to blend synthesizers with a post-punk aesthetic created a blueprint for dance music that influenced generations of musicians and producers.

New Order has remained active both onstage and through major catalog releases. In 2025, expanded editions of Movement, Power, Corruption & Lies, Low-Life, and Brotherhood were issued in new formats, and on July 17, 2026, the band released The Best & The Rest Of New Order, a remastered collection combining and expanding its acclaimed 1990s compilations.
