Joy Division and New Order have been announced for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a single act, with the ceremony in Los Angeles on 14 November 2026. Peter Hook confirmed his attendance with a video message dedicating the honour to Ian Curtis and the fans of both bands.
Whether the current New Order members—Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris, and Gillian Gilbert—will attend remains unclear. Hook departed the band in 2007 and has been forthright about the fractured relationship: he called the continuing version of the band a 'bad cover version' and suggested that their lack of enthusiasm in promoting the Hall of Fame campaign reflects their comfort with touring income. His comments paint a picture of estrangement that a ceremony in Los Angeles is unlikely to bridge, whatever the symbolic weight of the induction.
