SPILL NEWS: PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT ANNOUNCE 2026 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT ANNOUNCE 2026 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

PERFORMING THE GET READY ALBUM FROM NEW ORDER

Following a hugely successful 13 date North American Get Ready tour this past spring 2025 – stretching from Montreal to Buffalo and St Louis to Miami – peter Hook & The Light have announced they will return to the continent for a further 21 dates. Set for August and September 2026, Peter Hook & The Light will perform the New Order album Get Ready in its entirety, alongside a selection of the most seminal tracks from the rich and extensive back catalogues of both Joy Division and New Order.

The Get Ready album was released in 2001 and reached #2 on the US Billboard Electronic album chart and #6 in the UK album chart. It was the seventh studio album from New Order and was dedicated by the band to Rob Gretton, manager of both Joy Division and New Order, who had died in 1999.

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. That dedication to his back catalogue has now seen him move through Unknown Pleasures, Closer, Still, Movement, Power Corruption & Lies, Low Life, Brotherhood, Technique, Republic and the Substance albums to arrive at Get Ready in 2025 and 2026. Having toured each album extensively, the band have now amassed well over 800 shows.

Among the many highlights since Peter Hook reintroduced his early repertoire to a legion of audiences across the world, both new and old, have been appearances at Benicassim, Primavera Sound, Kendal Calling, Bestival, Victorious and Rebellion, alongside extensive touring in Europe, the UK, China, Japan, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand to great acclaim from both fans and critics alike.

The North American Get Ready dates follow another mammoth run of live shows in 2025 – taking in tours of Spain, France, North America, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, festivals throughout the EU and a full UK tour to come in the autumn.
