    Spotlight-shy Mancunians present an immaculate curation of their peerless back catalogue

    RETURNING to stage at the end of this delirious, daft, diligently compendious 140-minute journey from Salford to Wood Green, via West Didsbury, Brussels, Berlin, New York, Ibiza and Los Angeles, New Order play a three-song tribute to the band they used to be. “Any Joy Division fans out there?” asks Bernard Sumner with idle northern diffidence, as if he might be asking for a light or if you saw the match last night. The screens behind him are illuminated and Kevin Cummins’ black-and-white portrait of Ian Curtis gazes balefully out across the cavernous hall of Alexandra Palace.
