Peter Hook & The Light will be touring North America in May and the EU in October, the band and will also be appearing at festivals across the UK and Europe this Summer, including Chilfest, Forest Fest, Cheshire Festival, Stone Valley North Festival, Rebellion Festival, Solfest, Camper Calling Festival and Death Disco Open Air Festival.

“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)
