GET READY // UK TOUR
NOVEMBER 2025
“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!” PETER HOOK
PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT have announced a full UK tour for November during which they will perform the New Order album Get Ready in its entirety, alongside a selection of the most seminal tracks from the rich back catalogues of both Joy Division and New Order. The tour follows three highly successful Get Ready dates at Bristol Marble Factory, London Troxy and Manchester Victoria Warehouse over the Easter weekend in April.
Get Ready was released in 2001 and reached #2 on the US Billboard Electronic album chart and #6 in the UK album chart. It was the seventh studio album from New Order and was dedicated by the band to Rob Gretton, the manager of both Joy Division and New Order, who had died in 1999.
The Get Ready dates follow a mammoth run of shows last year – which included tours of Australia, New Zealand, South America, North America, the UK and Ireland – and tours of Spain and France in March this year in which the band played the Substance albums by Joy Division and New Order in full.

Peter Hook first revisited the seminal Joy Division album Unknown Pleasures back in May 2010 for a commemorative charity concert and has followed it each year by performing subsequent albums from the repertoire of his bands, Joy Division and New Order. His dedication to his back catalogue has now seen him move through Unknown Pleasures, Closer, Still, Movement, Power Corruption & Lies, Low Life, Brotherhood, Technique, Republic and Substance to arrive at the Get Ready album in 2025. Having toured the albums extensively, the band have now amassed over 800 concerts.
Among the many highlights since Peter Hook reintroduced his early repertoire to a legion of audiences across the world, both new and old, have been appearances at Benicassim, Primavera Sound, Bestival, Kendal Calling, Victorious and Rebellion, alongside extensive touring in Europe, China, Japan, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand to great acclaim from both fans and critics alike.
