New Order Share New Single, ‘Be A Rebel’

"In tough times we wanted to reach out with a new song," Bernard Sumner says

New Order have shared a new song called ‘Be A Rebel’.

It’s the first new music to emerge from the band since their last album, 2015’s Music Control, and was originally planned as a release ahead of their tour this autumn. With live shows on hold and that tour rescheduled to 2021, the band have decided to share the track, which you can listen to above, now.

"In tough times we wanted to reach out with a new song," says Bernard Sumner. "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."

‘Be A Rebel’ is out now on Mute.
