Peter Hook & The Light are taking Get Ready back on the road in 2026, performing the New Order album in full alongside essential Joy Division and New Order tracks. But if you think this is just another nostalgia tour, think again! The Light has turned this catalog into something far more intense: a full-body, emotional, borderline spiritual experience. Those unmistakable Hooky basslines, the darkness of Joy Division, and the sheer force of the band live have a way of converting even the skeptics.

Peter Hook & The Light are taking the Get Ready 25th anniversary tour to Australia and New Zealand, beginning July 8 in Christchurch before wrapping the global run with a North American leg later this summer. Along with performing New Order's Get Ready in full, fans can expect a rotating set of favorites from both New Order and Joy Division. John Greenwood argues that Hook's shows remain far more than nostalgia, capturing the atmosphere, emotion, and intensity that made those songs timeless in the first place.

Peter Hook and the Light are hitting the road, and John Greenwood brings the details on the tour along with a load of brilliant photos.
