Instead, he handed us a wonderfully entertaining account of travel anxiety, a deep-seated distrust of the TSA, and a healthy dose of reminiscing about past Rebellions. In the end, he also remembered to tell us everything you need to know about this year's Run-Up gigs. Along with great photos from Dick Slaughter and John Greenwood himself, it's the perfect way to get ready for another week of punk rock in Blackpool.

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.
