Peter Hook And The Light have announced new shows playing both of Joy Division‘s two albums in full.

The band, who have been performing material from Hook’s old bands Joy Division and New Order since they formed in 2010, will play both ‘Unknown Pleasures’ and ‘Closer’ as part of their ‘Joy Division: A Celebration Tour’ next April.

In addition to our UK & Irish tour dates in January and November, we are pleased to now be adding further shows for April.

In October next year, Hook will also play rescheduled ‘The Sound Of Joy Division Orchestrated’ shows with Manchester Camerata.

Hook first collaborated with the chamber orchestra back in 2019 for a trio of gigs, including a show at the Royal Albert Hall in London, which saw the musicians “revisit the post punk elements that shaped Joy Division’s ground-breaking sound, aligned with a full orchestra to reflect and respect the spirt which defines their heritage”.
