New Order is an English rock group formed in 1980 by the surviving members of Joy Division following the suicide of singer Ian Curtis. Early New Order was reminiscent of Joy Division, but they quickly evolved their own distinctive sound, and are often cited as an important and influential electronic dance act. Their sound can be described as a fusion of guitar-based indie rock and electronic dance music, particularly house music.

Current members are Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Peter Hook (bass), Stephen Morris (drums, keyboards), and Phil Cunningham (guitars, keyboards). In 2001, keyboardist Gillian Gilbert (a founding member; she and Morris are married) left the group.
