Peter Hook easily makes my Top 10 bets concerts of all-time. Last time he was in Australia he played a special show on a vacant block in Melbourne’s Southbank called Testing Grounds.
It was a warm February night. The show was outdoors. The first set was all Joy Division. The second set was all New Order. And it was fucking amazing.
For his upcoming 2017 Australian tour Peter Hook will perform his Joy Division and New Order best of albums, both titled ‘Substance’.
