Peter Hook, formerly of Joy Division and New Order is celebrating his induction in the The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation for 2026. Hook will ‘get ready’ to play New Order’s Get Ready album in its entirety, along with selective tracks from Joy Division and New Order.
We’ve seen these sort of album tour from Hook before, having seen him play Unknown Pleasures in Aug 2022 and wrote, “At 8pm exactly, Peter Hook & the Light took the stage. They are on a tight schedule, as playing both Joy Division albums will clock in over two hours… and to make it worth your time, Hook and company played a selection of early New Order songs to help the audience (like “Age of Consent”, “Blue Monday” and “Temptation”) get excited about what’s to come. The New Order set was about 40 minutes before a brief intermission. The band returned to play Unknown Pleasures. As expected, the band is very tight in play every song, in its original track listing order. Fans who knew and love the album from start to finish, eagerly anticipate the next song. There were no surprises, but that’s not what the fans came for.”
The ticket limit is strict. Any attempt to exceed the posted ticket limit per customer or household, or to game the system in any way, will result in cancellation of orders without notice. There is a transfer delay for all tickets prior to the show.
DJ Jake Rudh of Transmission (obviously a nod to the Joy Division song!) to open.
