The new incarnation of New Order, officially known as Bad Lieutenant (that's pronounced "Left-ten-ant") will be teaming up with some heavy hitters on tour this year.

They will join infamous British electro duo the Pet Shop Boys for four dates in December throughout the U.K. Before that though, they will make a Stateside hookup with Pixies as well as playing a couple of headline shows of their very own whilst they are over there.

Founder members - New Order’s Bernard Sumner (guitar and vocals), Phil Cunningham (guitar) and Jake Evans (guitar and vocals) will be joined live by former Joy Division/New Order drummer Stephen Morris and bassist Tom Chapman (who also played on the new album “Cry Another Tear”).

According to Sumner, “The bulk of the set will be Bad Lieutenant songs, but we’ll also play some songs from my past, some New Order songs, some Joy Division and a few other surprises.”
