Shadowplay: The Definitive Joy Division Tribute

 ““This is the closest re-enactment of a J.D. show available anywhere” 
SHADOW [verb] to follow closely | PLAY [verb; Act] a dramatic performance, as on the stage 
Their ability to capture the essence of Joy Division both sonically and visually is quite uncanny. From ferocious Punk to poignantly epic soundscapes, the band faithfully simulate the live Joy Division experience, with a highly impressive degree of authenticity. It speaks volumes that the lead singer (born in the Manchester area) has performed songs with Peter Hook himself for Joy Division Orchestrated at such esteemed venues as Royal Albert Hall, Sydney Opera House and more. 
Control, 24 Hour Party People, and the stage play New Dawn Fades – for which our lead singer was offered the lead role, in 2024 -… all impressive, dramatic portrayals featuring Joy Division – seen them all. Now, step inside – Shadowplay now THE OFFICIAL JOY DIVISION TRIBUTE, endorsed by Peter Hook. 
TRUE ORDER are Europe’s only tribute to the iconic Manchester band New Order and are considered by many to be the next best thing to watching the real thing. Playing a career defining set the band play the songs from the early years after the demise of Joy Division. Expect to hear a career defining set often not performed by New Order themselves with ‘Ceremony’, ‘Procession’ & ‘Everything’s Gone Green’ ‘Temptation’ ‘Blue Monday’, ‘Bizarre Love Triangle’ ‘True Faith’ ‘Regret’ ‘Krafty’ ‘Your Silent Face’ ‘The Perfect Kiss’ to tracks from 2015’s Music Complete, such as ‘Restless’ and ‘Singularity’, they emulate the rich tapestry of synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines and guitars with the same uncompromising attitude that made New Order pioneers of modern music.
