By now we know the score, and that doesn’t make it any less awesome: Peter Hook & The Light are returning to our shores next year, bringing both Joy Division and New Order’s Substance compilation albums to North America. And included in the run is a September 3 romp in a familiar setting, Boston’s Paradise Rock Club.
“It still amazes me how enjoyable it is to play the Substance LPs,” says Peter Hook. “The contrast between Joy Division and New Order is very apparent but both complement each other very well. My only frustration is not being able to play more of our records each night. I am totally looking forward to the next phase. So, let’s enjoy some Substance and get ready for the future. Lots of love.”
The stateside dates are part of a legit run of tours for the iconic bassist, who will also take the defining music of his legacy bands to Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.
The North American run of the Substance tours, which draws from both bands catalogs through their “greatest hits” releases, features 18 dates, kicking off in Toronto and wrapping in Denver. See the full itinerary below.
Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday (November 17) at 10 a.m. local time through peterhookandthelight.live, and revisit our decades-long coverage of Peter Hook via our archives.
