About Peter Hook and the Light

Peter Hook is best known as the bassist and keyboardist for Joy Division and New Order, two bands that essentially invented post-punk and dance-electronic fusion. After New Order's initial breakup in 2007, Hook formed Peter Hook and the Light to perform those bands' catalogs with his own interpretation. He's toured extensively playing Joy Division and New Order albums in full, often across two nights, giving fans a deep dive into the material that shaped alternative music from the late 1970s onward. His bass lines on tracks like 'Blue Monday' and 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' are foundational to how modern electronic and alternative music sounds. Hook's meticulous approach to these songs keeps them fresh while honoring their original architecture.

Peter Hook's shows are basically masterclasses in post-punk and electronic fundamentals. Crowds are attentive and reverent without being stuffy. His bass work anchors everything. These aren't nostalgia gigs—they feel like someone genuinely protecting the legacy of songs that matter.

Known for Blue Monday, Temptation, Bizarre Love Triangle, Crystal, Love Will Tear Us Apart

Denver road trip to see Peter Hook and the Light?

Stay in Highland, where tree-lined streets and independent bookstores make it feel like you're actually in Denver rather than passing through. Eat at Frasca Food and Wine if you want to understand why Colorado takes its ingredients seriously—it's fine dining without pretense. Before the show, spend an afternoon at the Denver Art Museum's contemporary wing, which often has installations that match the visual language of experimental music. Walk around Santa Fe Drive's gallery district. It's the kind of neighborhood where the art and music scenes actually talk to each other.
