GET READY // UK DATES // APRIL
UK & IRELAND // FESTIVAL DATES
“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
Following the announcement of three select UK dates for April where 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, PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT have now announced they
will play eight UK and Irish festivals throughout the spring and summer, including Shiine On, Chilfest,
Forest Fest, Rebellion and Solfest.
The Get Ready dates will see the band play the 3,500 capacity Manchester O2 Victoria Warehouse, their
biggest headline show to date in Manchester and their first in the city for two years; the 3,100 capacity
London Troxy, their first date in the capital since October 2023; and the 1,350 capacity Bristol Marble
The Get Ready album was released in 2001, reached #6 in the UK chart and was the seventh studio
album from New Order. The record was dedicated by the band to their friend Rob Gretton, manager of
both Joy Division and New Order, who had died in 1999.
