Following a string of well received international dates throughout 2011 and the most recent UK concerts at The Lowry, Salford, Peter Hook And The Light have announced a UK tour for May and June 2012, visiting a number of cities for the first time to perform Joy Division’s debut album “Unknown Pleasures and returning to London for their second ever concert in the capital playing Closer, following up April's sold out Unknown Pleasures show at the Scala.

Beginning in Liverpool, the tour sees Hooky and The Light play their second ever Scottish gig in Glasgow before returning to England with dates in Nottingham, Sheffield and Oxford, all of which are “Unknown Pleasures” concerts whereas the London date sees the first ever “Closer” concert in the city.

Tickets for all these concerts go on sale from 9am on Friday 16th December 2011.

In the only previously confirmed other UK date for 2012, the band are to play “Unknown Pleasures” and “Closer” in the same evening at Buxton Opera House on Saturday 25th February 2012.

Playing the albums sequentially and in track order, both Martin Hannett produced LPs are considered seminal, much loved classics and their influence remains pervasive today, both with fans and for the many bands, influenced by and who have taken on the template of Joy Division’s sound in the modern era.

“Unknown Pleasures” is considered one of the most stunning debut albums ever released and “still powerful enough to floor you 30 years on” (NME) while on“Closer” Hannett’s incandescent production permeates the record alongside a band that had grown much in confidence approaching their second album.

Both albums have come to yield many landmark tracks, “Unknown Pleasures” with “Disorder” “Insight”, “New Dawn Fades”, and “She’s Lost Control” while Closer, considered “a start to finish masterpiece” by Pitchfork Media counts “Atrocity Exhibition”, “Heart And Soul” and “Twenty Four Hours” amongst its many highlights.

With each album in full during the concert, The Light also turn to Hooky’s early repertoire to perform many other Warsaw and Joy Division tracks, some of which have never been played live previously.

Since The Light’s debut of “Unknown Pleasures” in May 2010 at The Factory, Manchester, Hooky and the band have performed across festivals including Benicassim, Vintage, 1234 and toured much of mainland Europe, Australia, North and South America. 2012 will see a stretch of central European dates and a UK date in the North West in February at Buxton Opera House before the band return to Australia prior to the full UK Tour in May and June.

Planning to see Hooky in London, at the Closer concert!

Lets not be twatty about Hooky news. Theres already a few Hooky-related threads, and one for a Yamaha CP300 88-Key Digital Piano, its all good

Rescue Rooms...a quality little venue.

Seen Re-Order there..so I shall defo be going to this one.

Up close and personal

Agreed. Quite fancy this one too, will talk to the Corby Order about it.

Hooky may not be flavour of the month around these parts but news of his stuff is obviously relevant here.

He's not killed anyone y'know (well not yet anyway).

As I can see there's a Hooky Order and another Bernard Order around here. Don't we have a democratic forum anymore? Nobody knows what really happened, we just know that Bernard and Hook said to the press. Be cool

It's a New New Order Order, Julio.. get it right

And do you really need another explanation of democracy? I thought it existed in Brazil.

Hardcore.

Not sure Hardcore is the right word.

Johnny Giles wrote:

There is a serious point here Jack. As Mike says, this is a New Order website and while Hook is a founding member, he's also a self imposed ex-member who very recently vowed to 'fuck over New Order' at every opportunity. He's followed that up by preventing fans from hearing unreleased New Order material.

Everyone's been cool with all news on NO members on here over the years. Side projects, DJ sets, tanks and yachts, we've all shared a (un)healthy interest in everything they've done. But we've never had someone come out and look to screw New Order over before.

So given Hook's current attitude to New Order is it right to use this, a New Order forum, as a way of promoting Hook's current business interests?.

After all, there are other places to advertise where fans who are interested in Hook can go and find the information.

Well I say no problem to them using this forum, I mean some of us might dare i say it go to one of those gigs. However, they can stop f____ whining at the criticism that is generally levelled at them as a result. But it should be in the side-projects section; perhaps Nickos could even start up a 'tribute bands' section as well.

Despite my lack of interest in seeing the Light play, I have no problem with the gigs being advertised here - simple answer if it ofends anyone is not to read the thread - in much the same way as noone has to read posts about Greys Anatomy DVD boxsets... As to whether Music For Pleasure or Ceremony are better fora for this osrt of news...

That's truth! And you english men should learn with us

Hooky deserves our respect though everything's unfortunately happening

I'll almost certainly be there to see Closer.

Brazilian Order will invade UK next summer Allan. Nuh Ordah!

I see there are some North West UK dates, but Closer has already been toured around here... so are these the Movement dates?

Well, having missed Re:Order but just seen New New Order (who were excellent) at the Troxy I'm looking forward to seeing Hooky again. Tickets for O2 customers are already on sale via O2 Priority. £22.50 for Islington. See some of you there.

No, apparently The Light are not quite ready to cross that line yet, probably because they are afraid no one will pay to see Hooky sing New Order. He does a fine job singing Joy Division and I have enjoyed the UP and Closer tours, but the jig is just about up.

Not problem at all if he adds Revenge and Monaco songs to The Light setlist

No meet and greet?
