New Order Announce a Seven-Date 2027 U.S. Tour With Future Islands, Starting in Austin and Ending in Miami
The group’s first U.S. headline tour since 2023 comes months after its Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, with support from Future Islands, Zachary Allan Starkey, and DJ Arthur Baker.
New Order have announced a seven-date U.S. tour for March 2027, their first U.S. headline run since 2023. The trek starts on March 5 in Austin, Texas, and heads east through Fort Worth, Houston, New Orleans, and Nashville before finishing with two nights in Miami on March 20 and 21. Future Islands, Zachary Allan Starkey, and DJ Arthur Baker will provide support across the run.
The announcement arrives at a big moment for the band. Joy Division and New Order will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame together on November 14, 2026, in Los Angeles, and the tour puts the group back on American stages just a few months after that honor.
The 2027 U.S. Tour Schedule
| Date | City | Venue | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday, Mar 5 | Austin, TX | Moody Center | Future Islands |
| Sunday, Mar 7 | Fort Worth, TX | Ariat Arena | Future Islands |
| Wednesday, Mar 10 | Houston, TX | Toyota Center | Future Islands |
| Saturday, Mar 13 | New Orleans, LA | The Fillmore | Zachary Allan Starkey |
| Tuesday, Mar 16 | Nashville, TN | The Truth | Zachary Allan Starkey |
| Saturday, Mar 20 | Miami, FL | The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater | DJ Arthur Baker |
| Sunday, Mar 21 | Miami, FL | The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater | DJ Arthur Baker |
The route is built around the American South. Three of the first four dates are in Texas arenas, which gives the tour a large-room start. It then shifts to the Fillmore in New Orleans and The Truth in Nashville, two smaller venues, and ends with a pair of nights at the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater.
Who Is Opening
- Future Islands: The Baltimore synth-pop band, led by Samuel T. Herring, became widely known after a 2014 television performance of “Seasons (Waiting on You).” The group’s synth-driven sound is a natural pairing for New Order’s audience, and it opens the three Texas shows.
- Zachary Allan Starkey: The support act for the New Orleans and Nashville dates.
- DJ Arthur Baker: Baker is more than a DJ in New Order’s story. The producer worked with the band on “Confusion” and “Thieves Like Us” in the early 1980s, records that helped define the group’s blend of rock and dance music. His set closes out the Miami weekend.
A Band Built From Loss and Reinvention
New Order formed in Manchester, England, in 1980. The group emerged from the death of Ian Curtis, the singer of Joy Division, who died that May. The remaining members, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, and Stephen Morris, decided to continue, and they brought in keyboardist Gillian Gilbert. They created a new sound that mixed post-punk guitars with synthesizers and the beats of the dance floor.
Their 1983 single “Blue Monday” became one of the best-selling 12-inch singles of all time and a landmark of electronic dance music. It was followed by a run of songs that includes “Temptation,” “Bizarre Love Triangle,” “True Faith,” and the 1990 England World Cup song “World in Motion.” Albums such as Power, Corruption & Lies and Technique cemented the band’s reputation. Alongside the Factory Records label and the Haçienda nightclub in Manchester, New Order helped shape the sound of British dance culture.
The Hall of Fame Induction
Joy Division and New Order are being inducted as a single act at the ceremony at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on November 14, 2026. The 2026 class includes a record six British acts, with Oasis, Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, and Sade also on the list. The induction is the band’s third nomination, after unsuccessful bids in 2023 and 2025.
The honor comes with some tension. Peter Hook, who left New Order in 2007 and sued his former bandmates in 2015 in a dispute settled out of court in 2017, said he would attend the ceremony but would not stand with them, and he has toured with his own group, Peter Hook & The Light, playing Joy Division and New Order songs. Whether the founding members will share a stage is still an open question, and Morris has said he likely will not attend because of illness.
The Touring Lineup
In June, the band announced that founding members Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert, who have been married since 1994, would not tour with New Order “for the foreseeable future” because of personal health reasons. The band did not give details. Paste has reported that Gilbert is undergoing cancer treatment. On the road, frontman Bernard Sumner is joined by guitarist Phil Cunningham and bassist Tom Chapman, and substitute musicians are covering the missing parts.
The band also has a show in Chile in November at Primavera Sound in Santiago, ahead of the U.S. dates.
