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. Peter Hook & The Light have since moved through each of those albums, culminating in the Factory Records Substance compilations, and recently celebrated over four decades of the continuing influence of Joy Division and Ian Curtis with the Joy Division: A Celebration concerts where both of the band’s albums were played in full.
In October this year, the band then played the 'Substance' albums at the biggest ever London concert at the 5300 capacity Eventim Apollo.
Peter Hook’s dedication to his back catalogue has seen him move through 'Unknown Pleasures', 'Closer', 'Still', 'Movement', 'Power Corruption & Lies', 'Low Life', 'Brotherhood', 'Technique' and 'Republic' to arrive at the point. Having toured these albums extensively, the band have now amassed over 600 concerts.

Wow wot a fantastic night hearing all the joy division songs was ace and on top of that new order too absolutely fantastic
PH&TL came on stage at 8pm. A pretty early start but soon had the place bouncing with the New Order side of the set. Turns out that was just the warm up. Once they launched into the Joy Division half, the place erupted. An utterly fantastic 2 and a half hours in the company of a living legend. If you get the chance, got have a look
