Peter Hook & The Light have announced they will play New Order's 2001 album Get Ready in full during their 2026 North American Tour.
The English post-punk band's 21-date trek will kick off in Cleveland on August 23 next year. Tickets are on sale now via https://peterhookandthelight.live/.
Speaking about Get Ready, the band's founder and bassist Peter Hook said, "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," he added. "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 had never been played live before these Get Ready dates. The Light will shine through…"
Along with Hook, bassist Jack Bates, drummer Paul Kehoe, guitarist David Potts, and keyboardist Martin Rebelski will also play some of other New Order and Joy Division favorites.
The Damned will join Peter Hook & The Light for a show at OVO Arena in London on October 11, 2026.
