PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT have announced three UK dates for April next year where they will perform the New Order album Get Ready in its entirety, alongside a selection of the most seminal tracks from the rich back catalogues of both Joy Division and New Order. The dates will see the band play the 3,500 capacity Manchester O2 Victoria Warehouse, their biggest headline show to date in Manchester and their first in the city for two years; the 3,100 capacity London Troxy, their first date in the capital since October 2023; and the 1,350 capacity Bristol Marble Factory.

TICKET LINK Get Ready was released in 2001, reached #6 in the UK chart and was the seventh studio album from New Order. The record was dedicated by the band to Rob Gretton, the manager of both Joy Division and New Order, who had died in 1999.
Peter Hook shares,
“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!”

The newly announced dates follow a mammoth run of live shows this year, taking in tours of Australia, New Zealand, South America and North America with a UK and Ireland tour to follow in October and November. These dates see the band play the Substance albums by Joy Division and New Order in full.
