Star Scene: PETER HOOK ~ PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT, NEW ORDER, JOY DIVISION ~ by Mary Boukouvalas

Peter Hook chats to Mary Boukouvalas about the upcoming Australian tour

“From the dark brilliance of Unknown Pleasures to the dance floor highs of Blue Monday, Peter Hook has been at the heart of some of the most influential music of the past half-century” (Movement Mag)

Joy Division and New Order Founding bassist, PETER HOOK, and his band THE LIGHT make a triumphant return to Australia in July 2026.

Peter Hook and The Light will perform New Order’s album Get Ready (Crystal, 60 Miles an Hour) in full to Celebrate its 25th Anniversary.

They will also perform a Selection of Joy Division and New Order Greatest Hits. THE JOY DIVISION set will include Disorder, She’s Lost Control, Shadowplay, Transmission, Atmosphere, Love Will Tear Us Apart + More

THE NEW ORDER set will include Ceremony, Bizarre Love Triangle, True Faith, Temptation, Blue Monday + More

As anyone who has seen Peter Hook and The Light live can attest, they are meticulous about re-creating the Music of Joy Division and New Order Live and perform the treasured catalogues with the passion and energy they deserve.

“Fans come to see us because they love the sound… New Odor doesn’t sound like New Order, which I’m happy about — and also outraged” (Peter Hook)
