Today New Order returned with “Be a Rebel,” their first new track since 2015’s album, Music Complete.
The song was originally planned as a release ahead of New Order’s tour this autumn with Pet Shop Boys, but alas, life had other plans and the band rescheduled the tour to 2021 (including a performance at MSG on September 22nd) and decided to share the song with fans.
The release of the song came with the following message from frontman Bernard Sumner:
In tough times we wanted to reach out with a new song. We can’t play live for a while, but music is still something we can all share together. We hope you enjoy it… until we meet again.
It’s a solid return to form for the band who are still doing what they do best after all these years. This is certainly a welcome surprise during a time when we can most certainly use it.
We’ve shared a stream of “Be a Rebel” below, where you can find the 2021 tour dates as well.
