New Order

Brazilians and Argentineans looking to get their '80s-era synth-pop fix are in luck.

UK legends New Order announced this week a five-show run in those two countries in November, marking the first time the band has played in South America since 1988. New Order will play the first four of the five shows in Brazil, including two at the Via Funchal in Sao Paulo, before concluding November 18 at Club Ciudad in Buenos Aires.

The jaunt, to be prefaced by a seven-date UK tour beginning October 9 in Bournemouth, continues the band's support for its 2005 greatest hits compilation, Singles. The two-disc release was an updated version of the Substance collection, and it collected every single released from the band's 1981 debut all the way through to the title track of Waiting for the Sirens' Call.

11/11 Belo Horizonte, BRA at the Mineirao Stadium

11/13 Sao Paulo, BRA at the Via Funchal
