Peter Hook & The Light to perform New Order's 'Get Ready' on 2025 tour

Peter Hook & The Light will celebrate New Order’s Get Ready by playing the record in full next spring in North America.

Announced yesterday, the trek will kick off on May 22 at Montreal’s Mtelus, and it’ll conclude on June 14 at Miami Beach Bandshell in Miami. Aside from playing Get Ready, the band will also play an additional set featuring material from both Joy Division and New Order.

Hook said this about working on Get Ready:

“Get Ready was a honeymoon record. Looking back now it was very enjoyable to make, and I think is massively underrated. 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 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!”
