Ahead of their headline appearance at the Punk Rock Bowling festival in Las Vegas on May 25th, Peter Hook & The Light have stirred excitement with fresh tour news and revealing interview insights. In a candid conversation with Tahoe On Stage, Hooky explained how witnessing the raw energy of the Sex Pistols – with Johnny Rotten rallying the crowd – ignited a spark. “I’d never looked at Led Zeppelin and thought, ‘I could do that’. They were so far away from you… But when I saw the Sex Pistols and Johnny Rotten just spent the whole night telling everyone to f*ck off, I thought, ‘you know what? I could do that!’” he exclaimed, highlighting the rebellious spirit that has fueled the band’s journey over the decades.
