Peter Hook & The Light Announce 2025 North American Tour
Bass hero Peter Hook and his band The Light have announced a 2025 tour of North America. Scheduled for May and June, the outing will see the group performing Hooky’s former band, New Order’s album Get Ready in full.
“’Get Ready’ was a honeymoon record. Looking back now it was very enjoyable to make, and I think is massively underrated,” Hook said in a statement. “It did sort the wheat from the chaff and led to a New Order mk2 which played better but had lost a naivety whilst gaining a maturity. Barney [Bernard Sumner] and I became a ‘power couple’ in Manchester during the making of the record but, sadly, the old problems recurred when we came to play live. The writing was on the wall from then on. The two of us worked very hard to make this a great record and I think we succeeded. I am looking forward to playing all the tracks, many of which have never been played live before. The Light will shine through … Get Ready!”
Hook is often joined in The Light by his son, Jack Bates, who shares the bass duties. Bates has also recently taken up with the Smashing Pumpkins.
