Peter Hook & The Light North American Tour

Peter Hook & The Light are all set to light up North America this May and June 2025 as their North American tour kicks off in just two days. The band, celebrated for revitalizing the classic sounds of Joy Division and New Order in electrifying live performances, has revealed an exciting itinerary along with precise show timings that promise a memorable evening for dedicated music fans.

Tour Details Revealed

The tour announcement details a meticulously planned schedule across several iconic North American cities. For most headline shows, the general timings have been clearly outlined: doors open at 7:00 p.m., with the main set featuring Peter Hook & The Light starting at 8:00 p.m. (with no opener on this particular slot) and finishing around 11:00 p.m. However, there are a couple of notable exceptions. In Montreal, the doors will open earlier at 6:30 p.m. to accommodate a unique schedule, while Miami will feature a special opening DJ set by Arthur H. Baker from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. before the band takes over the stage.

Special Festival Appearance In Las Vegas

Here, the band will grace the PRB Main Stage at 9:15 p.m. with a set that is expected to be the pinnacle of the tour’s festive atmosphere. This festival slot is especially significant as Peter Hook & The Light are set to deliver a best-of Joy Division set, a nod to their rich musical legacy and the enduring appeal of their earlier work.
