GET READY // UK DATES // APRIL 2025

“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

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 Manchester O2 Victoria Warehouse, their biggest headline show to date in Manchester and their first in the city for two years; the London Troxy, their first date in the capital since October 2023; and the Bristol Marble Factory.

APRIL 2025

Thu 17 BRISTOL Marble Factory
Fri 18 LONDON Troxy
Sat 19 MANCHESTER O2 Victoria Warehouse

Just seen this plugged on the Official New Order Facebook page - which surprised me slightly! In amongst the promo for the Brotherhood box and the Atmos mixes

Is this a pre-existing mutual promo truce, or has something changed (in my defence I haven't been paying especially close attention)

Originally I thought it was just the New Order camp taking the high road. But over the years I've seen it suggested that this could be in the terms of their court settlement.

Highly likely, I would suspect.

Putting legal matters and one's own personal opinions of the bitter fall-out, I think it's only right that a website/Facebook page called 'New Order' should help to promote Mr Hook's current ventures. After all, he put in a significant amount of work building the NO brand.

Despite him not being in the band at present, they do owe him some promotion. And likewise, him touring the albums etc. helps to keep them in the public's conscious and acts as promotion in and of itself.

I'm sure some of you remember around the time of the settlement, Hooky started replying to people on social meda with comments like, "you can see both if you like" - referring to NO live as well as PH & The Light live.

But my memory is that NO were already posting about PH&TL gigs on their Facebook for some time prior to the settlement. I tried briefly searching the forum for 'evidence', but, ugh it's not worth it!

My hunch then - as now- is that NO would prefer Mr Hook to be off being busy rather than sitting around holding grudges against them.

Speaking of relations between the two camps, I note that Hooky has TWO facebook pages. Once for PH&TL and one just called Peter Hook. The posts seem pretty much identical (both about the Light gigs) as far as I can see, so I don't know why he has two pages.

Anyway, on his "Peter Hook" page someone responded to one of his posts recently asking something about relations with NO, and Hooky replied "I'm as happy as I've ever been". Well fair enough; good for him. It seems Hooky is happy to be his own boss (he literally calls himself THE BOSS AT PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT on his Peter Hook page), and NO seem to be happy playing live (and...making music?) without him.

It's too bad most of the "it isn't NO without Hooky" brigade probably didn't see his reply. They still pop up from time to time, and I wonder who they're making their point to. Fellow fans -who had no say in the decision to split? The current line up of NO, who probably aren't reading? At this point I get a feeling of "old man shouts at cloud" about it.

I think we have to accept that both camps are happy. So with perhaps the (tiny) possibilty of a bite-your-tongue reunion for a farewell NO gig/tour, we have to accept that since the settlement, everyone is happy...except some of the fans.

This pleases me. I really hope this is the case.

It's been an uncomfortable few years. I'd love to think they're all in a good place. Outside of family and close friends, these people have made more of an impact on my life than I can measure.
I hope they're all looking forward to a well-earned retirement

But let's get another LP first eh?
A one-off reunion too? Unlikely, but a man can (still) dream.

He's pretty active on reddit. Dont know where he finds the time to tour. Think I got a thumbs up for a gig location suggestion.

Ah! That explains it then - makes sense. Giving him a login to the New Order socials must have been part of the legal settlement as suggested

Went to see him in York last night, he opened with KW1 which was completely unexpected and made me rather emotional. Seen New Order more times than I can remember including twice at the O2 and Halifax over the last few years. I never thought I would say this but I think I actually prefer Hooky's gigs nowadays. Looking forward to Victoria Warehouse now!
