British rock band New Order announced Monday its 2018 tour dates, and it included October dates on Oahu and Maui among the seven bookings.

The band rose out of the ashes of the post-punk band Joy Division in the early 1980s and was among the first to successfully fuse rock and electronic music, racking up dance-floor hits such as “True Faith,” “Blue Monday” and “Bizarre Love Triangle.”

New Order plays the Maui Arts & Cultural Center at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 3 and the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena at 8 p.m. Oct. 5.

Tickets for both shows go on sale at 10 a.m. June 29 to the general public, though MACC members can buy tickets to the Maui show beginning at 10 a.m. June 26.

Oahu tickets will be sold at the Blaisdell Box Office, on ticketmaster.com and by calling 800-745-3000.

Prices for the Blaisdell date range from $45 to $125 plus fees. For the MACC show, tickets will cost $49 to $150 and can be bought at the MACC box office or by calling 242-7469.

Counterfeit $20, $100 bills being circulated in Kona

The Hawaii Police Department is warning business and community members to be aware of counterfeit $20 and $100 bills circulating around the Kailua-Kona area.

Police said Monday that the counterfeit bills look genuine at first glance. Closer inspection, however, finds some of them to have the texture of computer paper and lacking in any of the security features found on legitimate currency.

Detection pens have been used to help detect the counterfeit money, police said.

If you receive a counterfeit bill, treat it as evidence by placing it into an envelope and calling the police immediately, according to police.

Anyone with information about the manufacturing, possession or distribution of counterfeit money should call police at the nonemergency number of 935-3311 or CrimeStoppers at 961-8300.
