The band - Bernard Sumner, Gillian Gilbert, Stephen Morris, Tom Chapman and Phil Cunningham - said of the show: "The connection between ourselves and Manchester has played a pivotal role in who we are as a band. We have countless memories from across the city, from our early days starting out, and beyond.
"We promise to bring a celebration like no other to Heaton Park in 2021, and we can’t wait to see everyone come together for a night we’ll never forget.”
To mark the announcement, New Order will participate in a very special Tim’s Listening Party for their most recent album Music Complete on Tuesday 15 December at 8pm.

New Order are currently releasing episodes of their official podcast Transmissions, which tells the story of their journey from their days as Joy Division to influential electronica act. Frontman Bernard Sumner has also revealed that he's currently recovering from COVID-19.
The Heaton Park show comes just before New Order pick up their postponed co-headlining tour with the Pet Shop Boys in North America, which kicks off in Toronto on 18 September. The band will then play a special one-off show at London's O2 Arena on 6 November, which was held over from October this year.
