Late-2026 South American run
The freshly updated tour page lists New Order’s first South American stop for 2026 at Espaço Unimed in São Paulo, Brazil, on November 23, followed by a second night at the same venue on November 25. The schedule then moves on to the Fauna Primavera festival at Parque Ciudad Empresarial in Santiago, Chile, on November 28.
From Chile, the band travel to Argentina for a December 1 appearance at Mandarine Park in Buenos Aires. Two more dates close the run: Veltrac Music Festival in Lima, Peru, on December 5 and Movistar Arena in Bogotá, Colombia, on December 9.

How the tour fits their current activity
The late-2026 shows arrive in the same year as a new compilation project, (The Best of & The Rest of) New Order, which combines remastered and expanded editions of their mid-1990s collections. The band’s official site highlights the release alongside the tour news, tying the live dates to a broader look back at their catalog.
On Apple Music, the compilation is listed as a 47-track release dated July 17, 2026, filed under pop and including key singles such as Blue Monday and Bizarre Love Triangle. This pairing of a catalog-spanning compilation and a compact tour underlines how New Order are currently balancing live activity with archival projects. Apple Music pre-release listing
New Order tour and catalog coverage
For readers following New Order’s live dates and releases, our archive offers deeper coverage of their touring history and key albums.
The musical core of New Order’s live shows
New Order’s live sets typically draw on their hybrid of post-punk and electronic pop, a sound that took shape on albums like Power, Corruption & Lies and Low-Life. Their South American dates can be expected to feature both sequencer-driven club tracks and more guitar-led songs drawn from their broad catalog.
Recent catalog activity shows an emphasis on remastering and expanding classic albums such as Movement, Power, Corruption & Lies, Low-Life and Brotherhood, released via Rhino in new two-CD and Blu-ray formats. That focus suggests the live arrangements may lean into the band’s early 1980s material, giving long-standing fans deeper cuts alongside the hits.
Current career status and next live date
New Order remain an active touring and recording act, with their next officially listed live date scheduled for November 23, 2026 at Espaço Unimed in São Paulo, Brazil.
