PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT
Peter Hook & The Light's upcoming tour has them playing Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures and Closer in full, with an opening set of New Order classics. “Definitely one of the highlights/lowlights of my profession is the travelling," says Hook. "It was amazing what a blessing it was not to have to do it over lockdown but amazing again how soon you missed seeing all these wonderful places the world has to offer. You lot in America are so lucky to have such a varied and wonderful country. I can't wait to get back there, and my mouth is watering at the thought of going to my first ‘Coffee Shop' breakfast. I am easily pleased. We have always been lucky to have been appreciated as much as we have in the States, ever since our first tour in September 1980. I am hoping for much the same this time. There is definitely a great appreciation for both Joy Division’s & New Order’s music.” The NYC date happens August 27 at Terminal 5. All dates are here.
