Peter Hook to perform Joy Division’s full works at Macclesfield Christ Church

Peter Hook and The Light have announced plans to perform a charity event to celebrate the life of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis.

The former New Order bassist and his group will play the “complete works of Joy Division” at Christ Church, Macclesfield on Monday 18th May. Titled ‘So This Is Permanence’, profits from the event will be donated to the Epilepsy Society and the Churches Conservation Trust.

A press release on Peter Hook’s website states that “Hooky and The Light will play every single track ever written and recorded by the band [Joy Division]…The Light will perform both studio albums [‘Unknown Pleasures’ and ‘Closer’] sequentially and in full at the event while the night will also see the band perform Joy Division’s final release, “Still” - a collection of material released posthumously in October 1981, just under one year after Ian’s death.”

470 tickets are available for the concert and go on sale at 9AM Wednesday 25th March via Eventim. For further details on ‘So This Is Permanence’, head to Peter Hook’s official website here.
