Tribute Night: Joy Division & New Order

Price: 
Free admission - donations during interval - suggested donation £5 each

“How does it feel to treat me like you do, when you've laid your hands upon me and told me who you are?”

For the 2027 winter edition we embrace bleak introspection and irresistible dance grooves.

We celebrate two of Manchester’s most influential bands, representing two chapters of the same story. From the stark, haunting intensity of Unknown Pleasures to the electronic innovation of Blue Monday, their songs transformed expectations of what a rock band could be, creating a body of work with an influence that reaches from post-punk to all forms of dance music.

At this event, expect to hear a variety of musicians perform a variety of Joy Division & New Order songs, some faithfully, some surprisingly, some ill-advisedly...
