Salford post-punk outfit New Order have announced that they’ll be releasing a live CD of their epic set at Bestival from last year, in order to raise money for the Isle of Wight Youth Trust charity.
Released via Sunday Best Recordings, ‘Live at Bestival 2012’ is set to hit shelves on July 8th, and will be available on both CD and as a digital download. The set included hits such as ‘Blue Monday’, ‘Here to Stay’, and ‘Temptation’ - you can check out a full tracklist below.
Speaking of their time at Bestival and their new CD, drummer Stephen Morris said:
“We played at so many festivals in 2012, and our highlights were, without doubt, the last two in the UK, Portmeirion and Bestival. Saturday night was fancy-dress night, and Gillian enjoyed dressing up in her peacock headdress.
“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!”
Bestival chief Rob da Bank has also commented, saying:
“As part of our Live From Bestival series, we needed to choose an act from 2012 that nailed it for not only us at Bestival HQ and the crowd but also would come across as perfectly on a CD. New Order fit that bill and then some.
“I was lucky enough to be side of stage for the start of the gig, in the middle of a pogoing crowd for much of the set and then back onstage for the finale. The whole band looked like they were loving it and the crowd was vintage Bestival - appreciative, raucous and dancing like maniacs! Thanks so much to New Order for supporting our charity cause as sales from this recording will really help young people on the Isle of Wight.”
All profits from the sale of this album will go to the Isle of Wight Youth Trust (Reg Charity No: 1087163). The Isle of Wight Youth Trust is a charitable, independent and professional organisation offering counseling, advice, information and support services to young people aged 25 and under on the Isle of Wight (the home of Bestival) and, in some cases, their parents or carers. The Youth Trust has been working on the Isle of Wight for 29 years and has made a positive input to the wellbeing of people locally - check out their website here.
