New Order rolled into a packed out 3Arena on the Dublin leg of their current UK and European tour, playing a fantastic set containing all the hits and more.

Chvrches performing at Barrowland Ballroom in June 2023

Chvrches shared chilling visions with a killer synth-pop soundtrack to a reverent Glasgow congregation as their Screen Violence World Tour reached its climax.
