Peter Hook & The Light

About the Event

Peter Hook and The Light will embark on their first full UK tour and perform New Order’s third and fourth albums, “Low Life” and “Brotherhood”, returning to many venues where the band’s previous shows have sold out and been very well received.

Having recently returned from touring the albums in Australia, New Zealand and North America, the shows mark the first opportunity to see the LPs and singles performed in full in England and Scotland since the debut Manchester and London concerts last September and the one off night at The Trades Club, Hebden Bridge in December.

As has become standard, Hooky and The Light will be supporting themselves at the concerts performing a selection of Joy Division material.

The concerts will include the singles and B-sides from New Order’s most prolific period. From August 1983 up to 1987, taking the audience from Confusion to True Faith, with both Low Life and Brotherhood performed in full alongside all the other tracks from what fans consider to be New Orleans greatest period.

Both the singles and the albums for this period stand out as some of the finest work ever produced by the band and marking the high period of New Order artistically. The critical plaudits heaped upon “Power, Corruption & Lies” were followed by similar notices for “Low-Life” and “Brotherhood”, which are considered as a trio as the band’s greatest albums.

Peter Hook & The Light’s shows chart New Order’s final stage of evolution from the post punk of Joy Division to defining themselves as electro pop pioneers at the cutting edge of the emerging club scene in the mid to late Eighties.

A masterclass in euphoria and heartache in equal measure Gigwise

This is New Order reinvigorated, reenergized; Hooky has arguably reclaimed the songs and is delivering them with heart and soul. Louder Than War
