The multi award winning Live From Jodrell Bank series has announced a third Transmission for 2013 with New Order curating a day of outstanding music at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire.

One of the most acclaimed and influential bands of the last four decades New Order pioneered the electronic sound that helped pave the way for the dance/house music explosion at the end of the 80s. The band has had a profound influence on music and is cited by legions of artists as an inspiration. They have released 9 studio albums, the last of which, 'Lost Sirens', was released in 2012. Their shows last year were euphorically received as the band played a set of classic anthems including Bizarre Love Triangle, True Faith, Blue Monday and Temptation.

This is an unmissable opportunity to see an iconic act in an iconic setting.
