Brisbane-bound NOOLers and Vikings for the Hookfest sound off!
The Tivoli is a great venue - should be a storming event. 
Members of the Hook extended family requiring sightseeing, bar/pub, local band and photo-opp tips in this glorious part of the world, get in touch.

Guess not then huh?
Hi sorry for not replying sooner
As it stands the adelaide and perth shows are going to happen, but there are just some more things to be ironed out before they get 100% confirmed.
There are also potentially going to be second nights added in melbourne and sydney due to an amazing response to the entire tour but those 2 dates in particular, i'll put up any news i get as and when i get it myself :)
Denis, that sounds good i will be in touch about where is good to go in brisbane, because our concert there is on my 21st birthday! cheers!

From Triple J: "As previously reported, Joy Division founding member Peter Hook is coming to Australia in September to perform the band's debut album Unknown Pleasures as well as early legendary singles 'Transmission' and 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'.
He's put together a band that includes his son, and they've already done shows in the UK, earning really good reviews. Hook recently told Tom and Alex that he's been a little terrified by the experience, because of the expectation of Joy Division fans.
The Australian tour was originally scheduled with just three dates - in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Additional dates have now been added in Adelaide and Perth. Tickets for those shows go on sale next Friday August 13.
Here's the full run of dates:
Fri September 24 - Melbourne, Palais Theatre Sat September 25 - Sydney, Enmore Theatre Mon September 27- Brisbane, Tivoli Theatre Tue September 28 - Adelaide, Her Majesty's Theatre Thu September 30 - Perth, Astor theatre"
Nice. But Her Maj in Adelaide is a very unusual choice - certainly not a rock venue by any stretch! What about the Astor in Perth?
Anyway, I have voiced my queries with this concept but of course I'll be there and will no doubt be loving every second of it. What else am I going to be doing on a Tuesday night in the City of Churches?
Social D is also touring for its first time in Australia... a good month for the Aussies, eh?
Adelaide went on sale yesterday but be warned that despite it saying everywhere that Ticketek was handling tickets, it's actually being handled by Bass. Took me all day to work that out - but still managed to get Row A seats.
Mind you, seats at a Joy Div tribute?? The Governor Hindmarsh would have been a much more intimate and suitable venue than a rickety old theatre IMO...
