UK DATES FOR NOVEMBER 2025

Following a huge headline performance in their native Manchester, PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT have announced more UK dates on their brand new ‘Get Ready’ tour.
The upcoming shows will see Hooky and his band perform the New Order album in full, alongside a selection of seminal tracks from the rich catalogues of both Joy Division and New Order.
‘Get Ready’ was released in 2001, reached #6 in the UK album chart and was the seventh New Order album. Featuring key singles such as “Crystal”, “Someone Like You”, and “60 MIles An Hour”, it also featured guest appearances from the likes of Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan, plus Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie and Andrew Innes. The record was dedicated to Rob Gretton, the manager of both Joy Division and New Order, who had died in 1999.
Speaking about the album and the upcoming shows, Hooky says:
“Get Ready was a honeymoon record. Looking back now it was very enjoyable to make, and I think is massively underrated. It did sort the wheat from the chaff and led to a New Order mk2 which played better but had lost a naivety whilst gaining a maturity. Barney and I became a ‘power couple’ in Manchester during the making of the record but, sadly, the old problems recurred when we came to play live. The writing was on the wall from then on. The two of us worked very hard to make this a great record and I think we succeeded. I am looking forward to playing all the tracks, many of which have never been played live before. The Light will shine through ... Get Ready!” - PETER HOOK
Following successful debuts of the new show at Bristol’s Marble Factory, London Troxy and Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse last weekend (the latter being his biggest solo hometown show to date), Peter Hook & The Light will next head to Liverpool, Cambridge, and Leeds this November. Tickets go on general sale this Friday. Details are as follows:
PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT - ‘GET READY’ NOVEMBER 2025

Tickets available here.
The Get Ready dates follow a mammoth run of shows last year – which included tours of Australia, New Zealand, South America, North America, the UK and Ireland – and tours of Spain and France in March this year in which the band played the Substance albums by Joy Division and New Order in full.
Peter Hook first revisited the seminal Joy Division album ‘Unknown Pleasures’ back in May 2010 for a commemorative charity concert and has followed it each year by performing subsequent albums from the repertoire of his bands, Joy Division and New Order. His dedication to his back catalogue has now seen him move through ‘Unknown Pleasures’, ‘Closer’, ‘Still’, ‘Movement’, ‘Power Corruption & Lies’, ‘Low Life’, ‘Brotherhood’, ‘Technique’ and ‘Republic’ to arrive at the ‘Substance’ albums this year and ‘Get Ready’ next year. Having toured the albums extensively, the band have now amassed over 800 concerts.
Among the many highlights since he reintroduced his early repertoire to a legion of new audiences across the world have been appearances at Benicassim, Primavera Sound, Bestival, Kendal Calling, Victorious and Rebellion, alongside sold out gigs and extensive touring in Europe, North and South America, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand to great acclaim from both fans and critics alike.
