New Order - South American tour and new compilation in 2026
Published on 09/03/2026 at 06:26 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
New Order are extending their long career with fresh live plans and a major catalog release. According to the band’s official website, they will return to South America for a series of concerts in November and December 2026, alongside the newly released compilation The Best & The Rest Of New Order which arrived in July 2026.
South American dates confirmed for late 2026
On New Order’s official tour page, the band lists six shows across Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru and Colombia under the heading “New Order live 2026.” The tour overview confirms concerts at Espaço Unimed in São Paulo on November 23 and 25, Fauna Primavera at Parque Ciudad Empresarial in Santiago on November 28, Mandarine Park in Buenos Aires on December 1, Veltrac Music Festival in Lima on December 5 and Movistar Arena in Bogotá on December 9.
For fans based in Germany, these dates underline that New Order remain active on the international circuit even without a 2026 German stop announced yet. The South American leg follows earlier festival appearances and tours in North America, Europe, Japan and Australia in the first half of the decade, showing how the band continue to treat different regions with dedicated runs rather than one single world tour.
New compilation The Best & The Rest Of New Order
Parallel to the tour news, New Order’s catalog is being refreshed. A post on the band’s official Facebook page states that The Best & The Rest Of New Order was released on July 17, 2026, combining the earlier compilations The Best Of New Order and The Rest Of New Order into one remastered set and expanding the selection of remixes, including previously unreleased work by Sub Sub, Richie Hawtin and Joe T. Vannelli. The label announcement also notes that both original compilations return separately on vinyl, with remastered audio cut at Abbey Road.
The compilation serves as a broad entry point into New Order’s mix of post-punk and electronic pop, spanning hits from the 1980s to later material. Because the release focuses on remastering and expanding existing compilations rather than new studio recordings, it highlights how the band and their label are curating the catalog for streaming-era listening and for collectors who still seek high-quality vinyl editions.

The musical core of New Order
New Order emerged in Manchester in 1980, combining the guitar-driven intensity inherited from Joy Division with drum machines, sequencers and synths. Across albums such as Power, Corruption & Lies (1983), Technique (1989) and Music Complete (2015), the band helped shape the link between post-punk, synth-pop and club culture, especially via singles like “Blue Monday” and “Bizarre Love Triangle.”
Their sound typically features Peter Hook’s melodic high-register bass, Bernard Sumner’s understated vocals and guitar, Stephen Morris’s precise drum programming and Gillian Gilbert’s keyboard textures. This combination allows songs to shift between introspective lyrics and rhythmic structures tailored for dance floors, a balance that has kept New Order relevant for audiences moving between rock shows and electronic festivals.
Where the band stands and what is next
As of September 3, 2026, New Order’s next officially announced live date is November 23, 2026 at Espaço Unimed in São Paulo, Brazil, with further shows in South America through December, while no German concert has been confirmed for that period.
