Peter Hook & The Light

Peter Hook & The Light formed in Manchester in 2010 following Hook's acrimonious departure from New Order, Hook assembling a new band — including his son Jack Hook — to perform the Joy Division and New Order back catalogue. The project was initially controversial but has earned significant critical and audience respect for the quality of the performances and Hook's commitment to the material.

The band have performed the Joy Division and New Order catalogues in full across multiple tours, releasing live albums that document these performances. Hook's bass playing remains as distinctive and powerful as ever, and the band's performances have introduced the Joy Division and New Order catalogues to new generations of fans.

Peter Hook & The Light continue to tour and record, remaining one of the most important live acts in British music for fans of the post-punk and new wave tradition. Hook's commitment to performing this material — and his extraordinary bass playing — makes these shows genuinely important events for anyone who cares about the Manchester music legacy. ⚠ Flag: most recent activity — verify current touring status.
