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.

A farewell tour decades in the making, Cabaret Voltaire's stop in San Francisco was a powerful reminder of why the band remains one of the most influential and forward-thinking acts in electronic music history. From pioneering audiovisual performances and shaping the foundations of techno-industrial music to inspiring generations of artists and fans, the group's legacy was on full display in a set that balanced innovation, nostalgia, and raw energy. As original members Chris Watson and Stephen Mallinder bring the Cabaret Voltaire story to a close, this final chapter celebrates a band that was always years ahead of its time.
