The British band New Order, one of the most legendary, iconic, and influential bands of Manchester, join the programming of the 57th Festival of the Porta Ferrada. The band emerged from the ashes of Joy Division in the early 80's, and the Mancunians knew how to fuse the post-punk sound of their first band with the electronic textures of Kraftwerk and the nascent dance music scene scene, giving rise to a unique mix of guitars and synthesizers that it marked evolution of pop into the future.

Hits like Blue Monday, Temptation, Bizarre Love Triangle and Regret describe an extensive but always interesting timeline, where dance music coexists within the indie aesthetic and post-punk rhythms. They're a band who need very little introduction, so make sure to catch them in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, in what will be their only performance of the summer of Catalonia, on August 12!
