I'd hazard a guess that you will hear some Closer tracks in April - although it won't be getting played in full in London or Edinburgh though no.
FAC251 tickets aren't on sale yet because I guess it hasn't been officially "announced" yet ... in press terms etc ... just watch this space for everything like that anyway. Won't be long before the ball starts rolling.
Hope to see a lot of the Vikings in London and Edinburgh ? ? ?
As it goes thats a good couple of gigs, pleasures in April and closer in may,,in fact it dont get much better.
A journey that leads to the sun.
I've got no news on that I'm afraid - shame really because I was there last week to see Frank Turner and it's a great venue. Would be a top gig... I'll ask around see what's happening...

Peter Hook’s The Light Perform “Closer”Wednesday May 18th / The Factory Manchester / 8pm112 – 118 Princess Street Manchester, M1 7ENIn Association With Mind & The Keith Bennett AppealTickets : £20.11 (Includes Charity Donation)Tickets available from Thursday 10th March 2011 at www.factorymanchester.com
Peter Hook’s The Light return to The Factory on May 18th 20011 for the first ever performance of Joy Division’s starkly passionate, seminal second album, “Closer” live and in its entirety at the club’s intimate downstairs gig floor, a year to the day since The Light first performed “Unknown Pleasures” at the venue.
As an album, “Closer’s history is forever associated with Ian Curtis’ death, its recording sessions seeing his condition worsen, and was released two months post in July 1980. The Peter Saville chosen cover of a Bernard Pierre Wolf, Appiani Tomb portrait has served to enhance its myth although Saville had never heard Closer when he chose the image prior to Ian’s passing.
With Martin Hannett’s incandescent production permeating the record allied with a band that had developed in stature and confidence since their debut “Unknown Pleasures”, the album came to yield many classic Joy Division tracks, “Atrocity Exhibition, “Heart And Soul” and “Twenty Four Hours”.
With a much greater use of keyboards than its predecessor, Closer also contained many references to New Order’s future direction, which the Joy Division’s remaining band members were to move on with, almost immediately at the time of the release of “Closer”, studiously ignoring the album at the time.
The Light’s performance of “Closer” on the evening is also being recorded by Ronnie Laine’s mobile recording studio for a vinyl only release later in 2011.
On Mind & The Keith Bennett Appeals Involvement
The May 18th Closer gig continues the same charities involved in last year’s event, Mind and The Keith Bennett Appeal.
On Mind’s involvement, chief executive Paul Farmer commented "I am delighted that Peter Hook has decided to once again support Mind following the success of last year's gig which helped fund our work to improve the lives of people with mental distress, and to combat the stigma that still surrounds mental health problems. Our huge thanks goes to Peter and everyone else involved with the concert for their continued support."
Peter Hook’s The Light feat. Rowetta - “1102 / 2011” 4 Track EP
Released digitally Monday 2nd May 2011 on Hacienda Records.
1 “Pictures In My Mind” (vocals by Peter Hook)
2“Insight”, (vocals by Rowetta)
3.“New Dawn Fades” (vocals by Rowetta)
4.“Atmosphere” (vocals by Rowetta)

After much rumour and speculation, Hacienda Records can announce the release of The Lights debut EP “1102 / 2011” on Monday 2nd May 2011. Billed as “Peter Hook’s The Light feat Rowetta”, the four track EP takes its name from the palindromic recording date of 11th February 2011 at Blueprint Studio, Salford.
“Pictures In My Mind” was an unfinished Joy Division track which was unearthed by the band’s “bootleg society” from a rehearsal tape stolen in 1977, setting it between Warsaw and Unknown Pleasures. The track was first performed by The Light at the opening night of The Factory in February 2011 with Hooky mindful of Ian Curtis’ maxim that one started a song should always, he takes the vocal himself to finish up the track.
Having performed with the band consistently since 2007 at events such as Versus Cancer, 1234 Festival, Vintage and The Factory gigs, The EP features The Light’s habitual guest vocalist Rowetta, across three of the classic Joy Division tracks which she has been consistently singing live with the band, “Insight, “New Dawn Fades” and “Atmosphere”.
Having received great reviews for her vocal performances from Joy Division fans, Factory aficianados and her own fan base, Hooky decided to record Rowetta’s unique renditions of these tracks late last year, and she joined the band at Blueprint to lay down the vocals in February 2011.
More information and the design for the release by James Chadderton will be made available early in April 2011.
Exclusive video footage of The Light performing “Disorder” and “New Dawn Fades” from The Factory last May will be released on Monday March 7th via Peter Hook & The Light’s facebook at www.facebook.com/peterhookandthelight and at www.peterhook.co.uk.

Peter Hook’s The Light features Peter Hook on vocals and bass, Jack Bates on bass, Nat Wason on guitar, Andy Poole on keyboards and Paul Kehoe on drums. Rowetta performs as guest vocalist at selected gigs.

Thanks to James Masters for the submission and informations.
Any news about re-scheduled German dates? What's the likelihood of Komakino being played? Movement tour afterwards?
I don't have any information about Germany I'm afraid .... Good news though in that yes we are learning Komakino, as well as a whole host of new tracks.
That's great news about Komakino, always wanted to hear it live. No worries about the dates, I'm sure something'll be sorted, just wondered if you heard anything.
“Pictures In My Mind” was an unfinished Joy Division track which was unearthed by the band’s “bootleg society” from a rehearsal tape stolen in 1977, setting it between Warsaw and Unknown Pleasures.
"Pictures In my Mind' is from 1978. Sometime before May.

I was watching this and was completely caught off guard when Hooky talks about “Pictures In My Mind” and who gave him the lyrics to the song; which was me! Brilliant, that made my day. Thank you Hooky for the credit.
So am I. They should be pretty amazing. Can't wait to hear a polished version of 'Pictures".
Definitley up for this in Manchester. Hopefully I can bag myself a few tickets for me and ma mates. I'll be gutted if they sell out b4 I can get any. Not been to the new club yet so should be a great nighgt
Got my tickets. I'm guessing that the tickets will sell fast. Also guessing that another date will be announced on the 19th!
yup got me tickets, thats another night in manc,,i am soooooooooooooooexcited about this,, it was great hearing Joy Revision play 24 hours at the hope and anchor a couple of years ago,, to hear the whole thing is something i never dreamed possible when it came out as the band had already decieded to move on.
this dream we share.

Just to let people know, the gig on the 17th, in Japan, is at Club Citta in Kawasaki.
I noticed you were being supported in France by a band called 'The Fuck'.
I hope this continues.
I hope you come back to the US- Show was great at Webster Hall in NYC back in December! My brother and I would definitely love to see you guys again! Please come back! Would love to hear Closer....

Think the song was left behind after they found some good tunes for Transmission, Digital, All of this for You, Glass and Shadowplay which were written in 1978.

Finally, nah Jack? 
Are they going to be a Closer gig or a mix of it and Unknown Pleasures? We don't mind if you play gems like Ceremony and Dreams Never End (missing this song live so much!)
Looking forward to sharing a drink with you guys here. 
Got my tickets for Manchester date, can't wait. I hope they encore with Cermony and dreams never end as well, a fitting end ready for the New Order story
