Ever wanted to hear New Order do Joy Division songs? Ever wanted to buy a live album and know your money is going to a good cause? Well, your dreams are coming true, thanks to New Order and Bestival 2012. The monumental dance band recorded their whole set from the festival and have now released the recording to stream live on Soundcloud. But, if you really like the set, you are encouraged to buy a copy of it, all proceeds of which go to the Isle of Wight Youth Trust. More details via the Guardian UK:
“We played at so many festivals in 2012, and our highlights were, without doubt, the last two in the UK, Portmeirion and Bestival,” New Order drummer Stephen Morris said when the album was announced. “Saturday night was fancy dress night, and Gillian enjoyed dressing up in her peacock head-dress. This charity release is a special way to mark the Bestival experience, and we’re thrilled to be working with Rob and Josie’s team to raise money for such a worthy cause on the island. It’s great to give something back, and also to give such a brilliant crowd something to remember the show by. And if you weren’t there, buy the CD and enjoy the experience that way!”
