New Order added to Primavera Sound Barcelona and Madrid

Primavera Sound have added New Order to the two festival lineups taking place a week apart and cities apart in this summer June 1st to 3rd in Barcelona and Madrid from June 8th to 10th.

The Manchester legends New Order will play at the Parc del Fòrum on June 1st and at the Ciudad del Rock in Arganda del Rey on June 8th. The announcement comes on the 40th anniversary to the day (7th March, 1983) of the release of ‘Blue Monday’, the band’s electronic pop dance single that still sounds as fresh today as it ever did.
