Former Joy Division and New Order member Peter Hook will play Dublin with his new band Peter Hook & the Light later this year.

The bassist will lead the band as they play New Order's third and fourth albums 'Low-life' and 'Brotherhood' at The Academy on Friday, November 27th.

They will also open with a set of Joy Division material.

Hook left New Order in 2007 and since then, the band has reformed without him - much to his chagrin. In 2013, he published a memoir of his time in Joy Division called 'Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division'.

Tickets for the gig are €23.50 including booking fee and on sale from usual outlets at 9am this Thursday.
