“It still amazes me how enjoyable it is to play the ‘Substance’ LPs,” Hook said in a press statement. “The contrast between Joy Division and New Order is very apparent but both complement each other very well. My only frustration is not being able to play more of our records each night. I am totally looking forward to the next phase. So, let’s enjoy some Substance and get ready for the future. Lots of love, Hooky.”

The newly announced run of dates follows the band’s performance of the ‘Substance’ albums at their biggest ever London concert in October this year at the Eventim Apollo.

Joy Division’s compilation album ‘Substance’ came out in 1988, and was followed by the 1987 New Order companion of the same name.

Hook first revisited Joy Division’s seminal album ‘Unknown Pleasures’ in May 2010 for a commemorative charity concert, and has followed it each year by performing subsequent albums from his bands Joy Division and New Order. It’s now culminated in the ‘Substance’ compilations.

Jon Blistein

On top of playing Unknown Pleasures and Closer in their entirety, Hook and the Light will perform Joy Division’s early Warsaw material, tracks from their compilation Still, and the final songs the band wrote — “Ceremony” and “In a Lonely Place” — which were ultimately released by New Order . Hook and the Light will open the shows with a selection of New Order tracks.

Hook had planned to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Closer with a tour last year before the pandemic hit. While those plans were delayed, he did open up to Rolling Stone about his complicated relationship with the album, which was released two months after frontman Ian Curtis’ death by suicide.  

“ Closer — because of what happened — has always felt a little detached,” he said. “I never played those songs [live] as Joy Division. And it actually felt after a couple of years like the LP was by somebody else. I was only able to listen to the record as a record years later. It was really, really strange, but Closer became one of my favorite records.”

Peter Hook & The Light Announce “Joy Division: A Celebration” Tour

Peter Hook & The Light are rounding it back up to tour the U.S. and Canada to celebrate the Joy Division and vocalist Ian Curtis’ continuing influence. The “Joy Division: A Celebration” tour will see the bassist revisit his musical catalog by performing both Unknown Pleasures and Closer in full, along with a handful of New Order tracks and additional hits.

“Definitely one of the highlights/lowlights of my profession is the traveling,” Hook says. “It was amazing what a blessing it was not to have to do it over lockdown but amazing again how soon you missed seeing all these wonderful places the world has to offer. You lot in America are so lucky to have such a varied and wonderful country. I can’t wait to get back there, and my mouth is watering at the thought go my first ‘Coffee Shop’ breakfast. I am easily pleased. We have always been lucky to have been appreciated as much as we have in The States, ever since our first tour in September 1980. I am hoping for much the same this time. There is definitely a great appreciation for both Joy Division’s & New Order’s music.”

The tour is slated to kick off on August 11th with two nights at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, Ontario. From there, the band will work their way across the border to play up and down the States over a full month. They will eventually make it to the Pacific Northwest and finish up in Vancouver, British Columbia, on September 14th.

To prepare for the outing, Hook and company have released a new live video for “Ceremony” taken from Christ Church, Macclesfield, in 2015. Watch as Hooky shows you how it’s done:

Peter Hook talks his current tour, the legacy of Joy Division, and physical media

Peter Hook is on tour RIGHT NOW in North America with his band The Light. The group is playing ALL of Joy Division 's Unknown Pleasures and Closer AND are doing a opening set of New Order hits! It's kind of a big show .

Because Hooky and crew are tearing it up stateside, Punknews' John Gentile spoke to the famed bassist about the tour, Joy Division, conflict in New Order, his session with Gwen Stefani, the death of physical media, and more! You can check it out below.

One of the things that I really like about seeing you and the Light do Joy Division and New Order live is that there’s a little bit more grit in the songs than the studio counterparts. They are kind of punkier versions. Yeah, I must admit that it was kind of frustration of mine that we used too much backing track and I felt like we didn’t need it. I felt like a dinosaur. “Can’t we just play it like we used to?” The strength I think in the songs was when we just played them. The moment that I love the most when we play Joy Division songs is the little moment just before we start playing and there’s nothing there, and then we start playing and it’s ALL there.

When we first started playing and recording in Joy Division we had no money, no way of recording ourselves, and the music only existed when we played. Looking back at that concept now- when we can just record everything and record anything on a computer- it was just so special. The reliance was total. You had to have all four of us to have that music. I must admit, Joy Division was a fantastic group. Each member held up his corner so fantastically and the strength of each member being right behind what they were doing. I’ve never been in a band like Joy Division since. It’s always been different and did not have the reliance and balance.

Some bands, like say Led Zeppelin or Queen, or Joy Division, each member is already insanely talented and they each work off each other so well. Is that just random coincidence? No, we have a term for that- “chemistry.” And that chemistry that makes you fantastic destroys you later. When New Order broke up in 2007, I actually had the thought that the best thing for bands to do was to not play music together. You know like how the Beach Boys would do it? One Beach Boy would write and the others would just sort of go out and play. Without the angst you don’t have the chemistry. It’s the price you pay for legacy, I guess. The longer you are in a group the more you have a chance of falling out.

I was watching an interview with Mick Jagger today, funnily enough. He was talking about his relationship with Keith Richards. Now we all know that has been very, very rocky, but the fact that they have managed to stay together has been quite an achievement.

In New Order, people’s ideals changed. We just became very, very different. By being different, we just made each other miserable. It was a great shame and I couldn’t pretend any more, It was untenable for me, what we were going through. My wife always says to me, when I got home from playing a gig with New Order, my face looked like slapped ass, as we say in England, and she says when I play with the light, I walk through the door with a smile on my face… so it might have been me!

A long the lines of “having a good time,” when you see people at a Peter Hook show, and you play a song like “Love will tear us apart,” everyone is having a great time! But, the song itself is an incredibly depressing tune. I wonder if you have ever contemplated that dichotomy. Yes, “love will tear us apart,” is the perfect contradiction. Thank God no one has ever written a song like that about me! It is a tragic song! The lyrics are heartbreaking. But I guess that’s the thing about it. I’m sure it’s not the only one like that- there are lots of songs that come across as pop hits but are actualloy insidiously telling a very, very sad story, which is what Ian did with that song. It is a very, very sad tale of a marriage break up hidden in a pop song. I’m sure a lot of people, even though they sing the lyrics, maybe they don’t realize the gravity behind them.

I think what I’m trying to celebrate when we play it is that we are all fans of the band and the musi8c is a joyous thing when it comes down to it. Most people make better music when they are angry, tired, poor, frustrated- Tony Wilson used to say to us as a “record boss” if you will, that we’ve got a lot to thank the Hacienda, the club in Manchester, for- it kept you poor and it kept you making great music! It’s like back handed compliment. Th music that we wrote when we were twenty was very angry, it was very confused, we were lashing out. The people of that age still have that frustration and that terrifying thought of what is going to happen, especially in this day and age. Look at any newspaper and you’ll be terrified. When I look at the Ukraine, or monkey pox, or Covid, or that the government in England is on the verge of breaking down for years- I’ve never seen moments like this in my life and they are terrifying. The wonderful thing in my life is I can go out and find a group of like-minded lunatics and sing along and forget about all that crap for an hour…

I’m lucky that we play for nearly THREE hours on this show. I’ve definitely ventured into Bruce Springsteen territory on this one- very, very happily I might add. The band is like “how many songs are we playing?!” In Joy division we would only play seven or eight, or maybe nine songs. In New Order, we’d only play ten or eleven, and even when we were headlining Glastonbury, we’d only play fifteen or sixteen. We knew like twenty songs. Now, I can paly like 100 songs. I’m looking forward to keeping dementia at bay for a while!

Actually, on all the Light tours, you usually do two albums and sometimes an opening set. You could “get away” with just doing one album, so, uh, why give yourself the extra work, I guess? Well you know what, it doesn’t feel like work, that's the interesting part. The band, we have these conversations all the time. We had just played Brixton academy and I wanted to play all of An Ideal for Living in addition to Unknown Pleasures and Closer - I had to practically bribe the boys to do it. But that show was wow! For me it’s about the chronological aspect of the music and showing the growth- showing how quickly Joy Division went from a punky, child like band I’d say, to large, majestic and powerful entity. I’d play the demos if I could persuade the boys! I’d like to do it! That’s the aspect that fascinates me. The amount of work that Maritn Hannett put into the songs- he taught us how to tune the keys, so each song is sympathetic to the next. These little tips were so wonderful in jhelping ud make a song so natural.

When we finish with “decades” there’s this wonderful [pregnant pause that suggests what could have come next. I’m very lucky in that, with Joy Division, we didn’t put any of the singles on the albums. For me, that means we’ve got the best chocolates to throw out at the end. We can paly “digitital,” “Dead souls,” “Transmission,” “Love will tear us apart.”

It’s amazing to me at how naïve, and young, and fresh we were as a band to throw out those singles- “don’t worry, we’ll write other songs!” We didn’t want to rip our fans off by regurgitating songs by putting singles on an LP. It was a noble idea that we stuck to as New Order for a so long until Factory records went bankrupt and we signed to London Records. That’s one of the things that I loved about punk rock. Its intentions were wonderful. It has changed so many people’s lives for the better.

Watching Danny Boyle’s Pistol , I actually really enjoyed it and I didn’t think I would. The way he caught the youth of the band and the stupidity that is in youth, the lack of knowledge, the lack of experience, I thought he made it work quite well. Many items when the band were being horrible to each other, it reminded me of Joy Division and early new Order. He caught the band dynamic very, very well. I actually thought he taught the story very well. The way the band treated Johnny Rotten was all very obvious, in a very school bullying way, which was quite sad but was quite normal. It was very well done. Joy Division was a punk band and I’ve got a punk attitude so you’ll have to drag me off!

I get really paranoid and I see people get hot or getting crushed or collapsing, and I think maybe we should ply for less. I’m indulging myself! The wonderful part of being in a band is you do get indulged! I went through the 80s and 90s indulgences, but this is a different kind of indulgences!

I think you, and even the other members of Joy Division, have all done a good job, of we’ll say, appreciating Ian Curtis without glamourizing his demise. I believe some friends of Kurt Cobain have expressed frustration that perhaps Cobain’s death has been glamourized and exploited. How do you feel when you see like a bootleg poster that says “Ian Curtis” and it has his birth and death dates on it. In the media, suicide can be glamourized a great deal. Yeah, especially in a group ethic, I supposed As an older punk- ha! The things that Ian missed the most was his child growing up and seeing a romance blossom with Annik. His relationship with Annik was cruelly shattered. It’s the every day things. He loved his dog. And I never realized the importance of that until after I got one. I don’t actually view the frustration of the group not carrying on. I think the sadness is that Ian never got to do the things that we did as we grew older and enjoyed. He had never been thanked by people by having them buy your records and giving you a certain lifestyle. Ian never got a penny form Joy Division. We were on one pound fifty a day in Joy Division. We didn’t earn any money from Joy Division until 1985 or something. The band had been finished for years. We didn’t learn anything from New Order for a long time but that’s a different story! He’s not my only friend that I have lost to suicide. It’s a short term solution to what seems like an end of the world problem.

My daughter is now 23, the same age of Ian when he died, and it’s unfathomable. I still have guilt and I still hate that we didn’t do enough to keep him… but we were 23. We didn’t know our ass from our elbow. I’ve got a picture of him here in my office that I see every day. I went to his grave today, actually. I was in the area and went to say hello, which is weird. I do it quite often.

To change gears, didn’t you record a session with Gwen Stefani once? Yes, I did… a very unsatisfactory session, as well.

Oh, why? Was it just not jiving? It was handled by a very famous producer called Spike Stent. He actually gave her a massive hit LP. I did a hell of a lot of work on the track. I took it somewhere else. I made it very New Order. Everything that I tried to do was frustrated by this producer. It got back to Gwen that I was unhappy with how it turned out and God bless her, she phoned me up and thanked me personally, which was wonderful. I got paid a lot of money for doing it, but it was very unsatisfactory. Maybe I knew what it could have been for me, yeah? But the producer didn’t like it. He actually said to me, “you’re taking too much off Gwen.” And I said, “that’s my job! That’s my job, mate! That’s what I do!” Gwen was lovely and I’ve seen her many times since and I regret my… churlishness, shall we say.

I’ve since learned, I think I had only done one session before that for Martha and the Muffins, so I didn’t know what to expect, and I guess I was sort of still keeping the flag flying for being a punk and writing your own material and it being used and I wasn’t aware of the politics and machinations of it. I learned a lot with that one. The great frustration of it was I was sent a framed nine times platinum disc1 so what do I know?!

New Order and Joy Division were very famous for their physical component. “Blue Monday” had the diskette jacket. “Bizarre Love Triangle” had those unique wash colors. Unknown Pleasures has the iconic image. But now, physical media is on its last legs. Is that a tragedy or is it just the way things go? Interestingly, I think I agree with you that it’s a tragic change. Over here is my record collection. The joy I get in playing my vinyl records is so great. The people that kept records going were the Germans. They wouldn’t give up vinyl. Thank God they were instrumentals in brining it back. And now I must admit that I’ve just done a Joy Division classical concert and a record of it. We put it out digitally and then we did an actual vinyl record and the vinyl record is wonderful. I have to say UI was so proud when I got it. For someone my age, I cannot completely switched off from that. Sometimes I stream, but here, I’ve got my Grace Jones album- wonderful- there is a difference with a record. It was a great shame but it’s coming back. I think young people are starting to realize the magic in playing as record. You can’t argue with the simplicity of it, but God help you if the Interne goes down. I’m happy there has been a resurgence and warner is putting out box set of the Joy Division and New Order albums.

Peter Hook & The Light Announces ‘Joy Division: A Celebration’ North America Tour

At some twenty-six dates, the tour takes place across five weeks as the band performs Joy Division’s seminal two albums

“So yeah, from that point of view, it’s actually nice to bring the two albums together [live]: you can see the contrast quite vividly when we play them. I do get some very almost teary moments. It has been quite interesting because Closer really does have a big effect on people, from an emotional point of view. Unknown Pleasures is very aggressive, it’s very punky, so live, it really rocks. Whereas Closer is almost the exact opposite: it’s very melancholic. It draws you in, and I must admit not only does it get a very emotional response from us while playing it, but you get an emotional response from the audience.”  – Peter Hook  

A massive cross cross-continental journey, taking them across the United States and Canada in August and September 2022 for their biggest and most extensive trek to date, Peter Hook & The Light’s “Joy Division: A Celebration” North American tour launches August 11 in Toronto. Since announcing the tour last summer both Chicago shows at Metro are sold-out and joining as special guests will be El Ten Eleven in Chicago (both shows), Boston, Silver Springs, MD, Philadelphia, New York, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

At some twenty-six dates overall, the tour takes place across five weeks as the band return to some venues and debut at others to perform Joy Division’s seminal two albums Unknown Pleasures and Closer in full with additional Joy Division rarities and an opening set of New Order material. The tour follows the debut UK dates for “Joy Division: A Celebration” which commemorate the 40th anniversary of Joy Division and Ian Curtis’ continuing influence.

A new clip of The Light performing “Ceremony” (one of the final two tracks Joy Division wrote) at the May 2015 Christ Church Macclesfield concert has been released here:

Returning for his ninth tour of the States with Peter Hook & The Light, Hooky comments: “ Definitely one of the highlights/lowlights of my profession is the travelling. It was amazing what a blessing it was not to have to do it over lockdown but amazing again how soon you missed seeing all these wonderful places the world has to offer. You lot in America are so lucky to have such a varied and wonderful country. I can’t wait to get back there, and my mouth is watering at the thought of going to my first ‘Coffee Shop’ breakfast. I am easily pleased.

“We have always been lucky to have been appreciated as much as we have in the States, ever since our first tour in September 1980. I am hoping for much the same this time. There is definitely a great appreciation for both Joy Division’s & New Order’s music. ”

These first dates were originally scheduled for May 2020, but due to the pandemic have only just taken place in the UK and across France to great reviews and reactions from fans and critics alike to The Light’s dedication to and passion for the catalogue across what is a near three-hour show.

About the reaction on returning to live concerts, Hooky added; “ The gigs so far have all been wonderful and the fans and the band have been wonderful too! It does nothing for my imposter syndrome;( “

“ I am very grateful that we have all risen back to this after what we have been through these past few years. Thank you all. We have a lot to be thankful for. Ian Curtis R.I.P.”

Aside from some one-off incidental dates such as The Roxy in Los Angeles, the “Joy Division: A Celebration” run of dates is the first time the band have toured both iconic albums in the same show in North America and the concerts are bound to be hugely special for the many devoted fans of the band.

With double concerts at the same venue announced for the opening nights in Toronto and then in Chicago, Austin, and Los Angeles the tour also takes in Montreal, Royal Oak, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Boston, Silver Spring, Philadelphia, New York, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Denver, San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver.

These Joy Division album shows have become much less common for The Light as they moved through their progression of touring the New Order albums in succession in the twelve years since Hooky began his odyssey through both his bands’ back catalogues.

That journey has seen them now perform his bands’ albums all round the world including numerous tours of North and South America, Australia, Europe, New Zealand, and Asia.

The influence of Joy Division and their music remains strong in popular culture, holding a sincere reverence. The albums are played sequentially in track order, respecting the inspiration and impact of the stunning debut album Unknown Pleasures and the immaculately produced second Closer.

In addition to the albums, the concerts span the entirety of Joy Division’s rich but short career including early Warsaw material, tracks from the compilation LP Still to the final songs “Ceremony” and “In a Lonely Place” written by Joy Division which were to form New Order’s first single.

Joy Division cancelled US / Canada tour 1980

Little was known about the venues that Joy Division intended to play on their US tour and the following list was subject to ongoing speculation and amendments for several years. We used information from various sources including Rob Gretton's notebooks and the MDMA web site fully in the knowledge these were not the final notes, and may have reflected ideas and aspirations rather than concrete arrangements. 

Then, in 2019 Peter Hook auctioned off a huge number of Joy Division, New Order, and Factory related items including an itinerary for the tour given to him after Ian's death. We were pleased to find this final version matched quite well to our speculation.

Naturally we have used this itinerary to update this page, but we have also left some listings in which do not appear on it. This is in line with our policy of including cancelled gigs in our listings (it's just a bit more complicated here because all the gigs were cancelled) and if the venue had gone as far as to advertise a gig it was clearly a realistic prospect at some point in time.   

We know that New Order played at some of the same venues when they got out to the States in September and those events are also documented below.

Nick Blakey spent a lot of time working on this and drawing together disparate information and talking to people who were involved in the US gig circuit back in the day, It is wonderful to see this finalised with the definitive tour dates.

19th May 1980 Joy Division arrive in the US 

Source: Rob Gretton's notebooks

21st - 23rd May 1980 (3 nights): Hurrah, New York 

Source: Rob Gretton's notebooks and the final tour itinerary. This was to be officially the first venue on the tour.

Support acts:

Wed 21 The Mutants Thu 22 Crash Course in Science Fri 23 Bongos

Support act info from the "Goings On About Town" section of the New Yorker dated 26 May 1980

On one of these nights the dB's filled in for Joy Division - as this extract from their web site shows:

Merrill Aldighieri tells us her film "LOVE AMONG THE MUTANTS" was intended to be the "opening act" for Joy Division on one of the nights:. I made an underground science fiction comedy titled "LOVE AMONG THE MUTANTS". I showed up that night wearing a hand made paper machet eyeball. As I nervously sipped beer through a straw inserted in my iris I wondered why the club was still empty. Then around 11:00 2 club-goers arrived (Pat Ivers & Emily Armstrong) to tearfully tell us the horrible news about the death of Ian Curtis. The staff decided to show my movie anyway. I was in a depressed and frantic stupour with serious tunnel vision under the cyclops outfit. I wore this the whole evening, trying to hide. By the time my film played I was a basket case. The club asked me to come back and become their multi-media artist in residence, and not long afterwards New Order made their debut. I videotaped that show, as well as 100 others.

New Order finally played there 26th September 1980. According to Steve who was at that New Order concert "A Certain Ratio were on the bill that night. New Order took to the stage in complete darkness with a single purple spotlight on an empty mike stand and opened with 'In A Lonely Place'. It was chilling"

24th May 1980 Joy Division travel to Toronto

25th may 1980: the edge nightclub, toronto .

The Edge nightclub, at the corner of Church & Gerrard in Toronto was run by the two Garys: who brought Blondie, The Ramones, Talking Heads, New Order, The Police, The Smiths, and most of the cutting edge acts from 1977 thru the 1980's. Tickets were on sale at the time, Ian died one week to the day before he would play here.

Here's what Gary Topp (one of the two Garys) told our invetigator Paul Boyd: " I can't tell you the exact date.... but they were scheduled to play on a Sunday nite, tix were on sale. they cancelled their tour due to his death a week prior ".

This puts the date firmly at 25th May, which is confirmed by the final tour itinerary, the ticket, and the advert in the Toronto Star Saturday May 18th 1980, see right..

Peter Howell writes:

"The tiny ad in the Toronto Star of Saturday, May 17, 1980 promoted the first local appearance the following weekend of a band "from England": Joy Division. The price was $5.50 a ticket, at a now-defunct venue called The Edge at Church and Gerrard Sts. where all the hot punk and New Wave acts played. The May 25 show was to start at the very uncool time of 7:30 p.m., but it was a Sunday, after all. All 250 tickets sold out, promoter Gary Topp recalled in an interview, and the band members would have been paid a total of $1,000 (US) for their labours. But hours after the Star ad appeared, the band's frontman Ian Curtis was dead. Toronto would have been the second stop on the band's first North American tour. For promoter Topp, who was working in a company called The Garys, it was the second major show in just over a year scuppered by sudden death. The Garys had also booked Sid Vicious to perform, shortly before the ex-Sex Pistols bassist was found dead from a heroin overdose. But everybody knew Vicious was on the way down, as in six feet under. Joy Division was on the way up, and already had mystique, Topp said. "Musically they were unique for the times, rooted in punk with a tortured Jim Morrison-ish style. They were a breath of fresh air, experimental, problematic. We liked that."

26th May 1980: Bookies, Detroit

According to Rob Gretton's notes at the time there was a possibility this gig would be cancelled - in which case Joy Division would play Madison on the 28th May. This is clearly what happened as this was a day off on the final tour itinerary.

27th May 1980: Tuts, W. Belmont, Chicago

The promoter, or rather one of the co-promotors, Wax Trax, was a Chicago record shop that specialised in Factory records imports. They even had a specially made Joy Division neon sign behind the counter. They had tickets printed in a variety of colours.

Thanks to Nick Blakey for his tireless research which has helped populate this page

28th May 1980: Merlyn's Madison, Wisconsin

At one stage this date was a contingency if Detroit (26th May) was cancelled. However one Merlyn's regular remembers the gig being cancelled on this forum . Merlyn's was the pre-eminent punk club of the time and was made up to look like a cave with brown stucco, stalactites hanging from the ceiling.

29th May 1980: Duffy's, Minneapolis

While the flyer notes Fine Art as the opener, Kim Moline an employee of Duffy's at the time, says that Husker Du were also scheduled to play:

"They were suppose to play at Duffy's 29 May, 1980 with Husker Du ... tour dates were cancelled due to Ian Curtis's suicide on the 18th of May. Curtis, suffered from epilepsy and depression, committed suicide on the eve of Joy Division's first North American tour, resulting in the band's dissolution and the subsequent formation of New Order. Duffy's was suppose to be the 8th date on the tour."

30th - 31st May 1980: Days off including travel  

30th or 31st may 1980: the undergro und, boston.

With Mission Of Burma  New Order finally played here 30th September 1980.

Rob Gretton's notes indicate the possibility of a Joy Division gig in Boston on May 30-31, 1980 and local memories suggest that it was to be The Underground with Mission of Burma supporting, but listings taken from local paper The Boston Phoenix and no further mention in Rob's notes show that the gig was never finalised.

Incidentally: Joy Division's tour mates OMD played The Underground on June 1st 1980

Thanks to Mike Miliard of The Boston Phoenix newspaper for supplying us with information about Underground gigs at that time

31st May 1980: 9:30 Club, Washington DC

According to 'Dance Of Days: Two decades of Punk in the Nation's Capital' by Mark Andersen & Mark Jenkins (pages 59/60) Joy Division were supposed to inaugurate 9:30 Club which had previously been known as "The Atlantis". However this date had been dropped by the time the final tour itinerary was published. Instead 9:30 Club opened with New York jazz combo the Lounge Lizards, supported by Tiny Desk Unit on 31st May.

1st June 1980: Pop Front  / Machinist's Hall,  New York  (cancelled, Pop Front moved the venue to Tier 3 see below)  

According to contemporary music papers a Joy Division gig slated for the Machinist's Hall, NYC on this date was cancelled, despite being confirmed by the final tour itinerary. It appears that Non-profit NY promoters "Pop Front" had already run a month of Sunday night gigs there when an attack by vandals forced the owners to cancel all upcoming dates so the concert was moved to Tier 3.

1st June 1980: Pop Front / Tier 3 (aka TR3), New York  

This date confirmed as "Pop Front", the promoter, by the final tour itinerary and by Hilary Jaeger who booked Tier 3 (aka TR3). Peter Hook's "Unknown Pleasures ..." book page 275 features a photo of a schedule (but unlikely to be the final version) showing Pop Front, New York. New Order finally played here 27th September 1980 with A Certain Ratio.

2nd June 1980: Joy Division fly to San Francisco

3rd - 4th june 1980: days off   , 3rd and 4th june 1980: american indian centre, san francisco.

Rob Gretton's notes refer to a possible gig in San Francisco on one of these days. However these had been changed to a single gig on 7th June by the time the final itinerary was published and Joy Division were to have two days off.

Jim Manniello in SF stated he clearly remembers the gig was to have been at the American Indian Center, although he was unclear on the date.

Jello Biafra states this was to be two dates - (most likely 3rd and 4th June) with Dead Kennedys opening one show and The Mutants opening the other.

Peter Hook's "Unknown Pleasures ..." book page 275 features a photo of a schedule (but unlikely to be the final version) showing the dates as 6th and 7th June

5th June 1980: Joy Division travel to LA 

According to Rob Gretton's notes they were either to travel to LA - or play Madame Wong's on this date. As Madame Wong's is planned for the 7th June we assume this was to be a travel day.  

6th June 1980: Day off   

7th june 1980: american indian centre, san francisco .

The date had taken some firming up - see 3rd 4th June listing above and this was the final agreed date on the itinerary.

7th June 1980: Madame Wong's, Los Angeles

Rob Gretton's notebooks list this as a venue but it had been dropped by the time the final itinerary was published.

Image (C) copyright Theresa K / Punk truns30.com and reproduced here with permission

8th June 1980 Flipper's Roller Boogie Palace, Los Angeles

Peter Hook's "Unknown Pleasures ..." book page 275 features a photo of a schedule (but unlikely to be the final version) showing this unlikely venue - and it's confirmed by the final tour schedule.

09h June 1980: Day off 

9th june 1980: the starwood, northwest corner of santa monica blvd. and crescent heights ave , los angeles.

Image thanks to Steve Eastwood

Clearly a solid enough booking to advertise the gig, see right, this concert had been dropped by the time the final itinerary was published.

No tickets exist as people had to return them to get refunds B Peopl e were to open for Joy Division. Later, in 1981, they opened for New Order at Perkins Palace in Pasadena, California. For the poster for that event click here .

The Starwood closed in 1982 see Starwood for details

10th June 1980: Return to the UK 

Unknown dates:.

The following gigs also seem to have been planned for unspecified dates at some point but do not appear in Rob Gretton's notes or the final tour itinerary:

Robson Square Theatre, Vancouver

Grant McDonagh, from ZULU RECORDS tells us: "I worked at an indie record store at that time (Quintessence Records). I recall being in it's back room and me and fellow staff members discussing that we heard Joy Division were going to be coming to town soon, and were going to be playing the Robson Square Theatre. This was an approx. 200 seat venue on the bottom floor of a Provincial government set of buildings, near the centre of downtown Vancouver (the buildings are still there). I recall seeing Pere Ubu play at the Robson Square Theatre in the summer of 1979, a good gig! The theatre really wasn't a cutting-edge venue, more like a lecture hall that wasn't used for concerts too often. Joy Division would have been the only other contemporary band booked there since the Pere Ubu gig a few months earlier. The concert promoter was Perryscope Concerts, they did most of the up and coming touring gigs in Vancouver at the time. Then one day I went to work, and a co-worker told me he heard that Joy Division's singer had committed suicide a day or two earlier. We talked about it of course, and I remember us talking about how their Vancouver promoter, Perryscope, had just called just a few days earlier, saying they'd be dropping tickets to sell off in a few days. But that was that."

North Park Lions Club Hall, San Diego

Joy Division was booked to play in San Diego by Renee Edgington of Shark Productions, probably at the North Park Lions Club Hall. In the movie, Control, you can see San Diego in the itinerary. Would have had to have been at the time of the LA gigs.

Meet the Macclesfield man behind new Joy Division tour of the town

By Alex Greensmith

7th Apr 2024 | Local News

A Macclesfield resident has started a Joy Division-themed tour of Macclesfield.

Trevor Stokes is a Macclesfield dad, who has lived here since he was three.

He has forged a long career in the fashion industry, and recently launched a successful new side gig of showing music fans Joy Division's many connections to Macclesfield.

Joy Division , which had two members from Macclesfield, were a late 1970s post-punk band fronted by Macclesfield resident Ian Curtis,

Curtis lived in three homes in the town. The world-famous musician went to Hurdsfield Primary School before going onto King's School Macclesfield.

It is these places, and more, that are the feature of a new Joy Division tour, led by the local Joy Division superfan.

Trevor bleeds Macclesfield. His passion for the town is only matched by his passion for Joy Division.

But Trevor isn't just a fan, as his paths crossed with Ian Curtis throughout life.

Macclesfield Nub News met with Trevor for a tour, to find out more.

"This is my passion," said Trevor.

"What I like about doing them is showing people from out of town Macclesfield, getting them to interact with the town, as well as keeping the story of Ian and Joy Division alive and relevant."

"The people are what make the tour, whether it is the local people who say 'hello' and give their opinion on Ian or the band, to the people from all over the world that come to Macclesfield.

"Every single person that has been on my tour that is from out of town, always go away and say 'what an amazing place Macclesfield is'.

"As someone who lives here every day, doing this tour has really opened up the value of Macclesfield from an outsider's point of view."

As a tour guide, Trevor is personable, engaging and knowledgable. This was evidenced by Trevor - whilst meeting Macclesfield Nub News - answering a question about where Ian's wedding reception was in seconds flat. (The answer is The Bulls Head pub, where Fina is now, on Market Place).

Trevor knows what pubs Ian used to frequent - namely The Brewers Arms, The Nags Head, The Castle and The Prince Albert - to the name of his pet dog. Doing this tour has even seen people from Ian's past reach out to Trevor.

Trevor describes his tour as '2-3 hours of enjoyment', with 12 pitstops of places in Ian's life.

The length varies, as some tour guests want to go and drink in the Henbury pub Ian went in before he got married, or just to hang out with Trevor afterwards.

Attendees will head to Ian's places of work, locations used in the 2007 Joy Division movie Control, and more surprises along the way.

Trevor will add interactive elements, like reading a poem an 11-year-old Curtis wrote in Hurdsfield, to showing pictures from his life that have not been seen online.

The tour culminates at Chestergate bar proper sound , home to Macclesfield's first Ian Curtis mural, and Joy Division artwork or records which you can buy.

"There's some revelations, with things they maybe didn't know about Joy Division and Ian," told Trevor.

"And they are going to be a part of the story, as the story keeps on going."

Trevor and Ian had 12 years between them in age, but as Trevor's grandfather lived near Ian, the young Trevor met Ian and the musician left an impression on him.

"My granddad lived around the corner from Ian, so when I was a boy I used to see Ian quite often.

"People would say, does that mean I was a friend of his? I wasn't a friend of his, I was too young."

Ian would tease Trevor and give him the nickname 'Terry', knowing that it would wind the young Trevor up.

When asked about whether giving these tours around Macclesfield gives him pride, Trevor had this to say: "I think that is something really deep-seated, about the fundamental values of this great town, the history of it and the great people within it."

"Sharing that with people gives me enormous pride, and pleasure to share this great area that we live in, and spread the story within the town's history which is so important to me.

"Showing my town to someone from Florida, someone from Chile, someone from Italy, that is something I take immense pride in."

Just this past weekend Trevor has welcomed guests from Brazil and Hungary to his tour.

Trevor is keen to stress that that the tour is done with sensitivity, and pays homage to Joy Division's legacy.

Trevor's tour is respectful, likely due to the fact that he considers Ian as one of his personal heroes.

During the visit to Ian's headstone at Macclesfield Crematorium, Trevor will leave his guest alone for five minutes, so they can pay their respects.

During these five minutes, Trevor will go and visit the headstone of his late grandfather, who used to go drinking at The Prince Albert pub with Ian.

Trevor is even keen to highlight the happiness in Ian's short life. During the tour, he stresses that while he did end his life at his Barton Street home, it is also a place full of happy memories. 77 Barton Street is where he went to after his wedding day, and brought his daughter Natalie home to for the first time.

When asked about what else he likes about doing the tour, Trevor said: "Interacting about the music and swapping opinions on the music and lyrics."

"If you get to do a hobby and a passion as a living, it brings you a lot of pleasure and enjoyment."

"I would encourage anyone that is interested in music, never mind Joy Division, to come along and share the history of this town, because the story of Ian is the history of Macclesfield."

Trevor, who grew up on the Moss estate, and until recently had a house just around the corner from Barton Street, is a former pupil of Ryles Park and Ash Grove schools. He was a youth footballer for Macclesfield Town FC.

By coincidence, he got married in the same church as Ian.

When pressed for a favourite Joy Division track, Trevor couldn't pick just one.

Ceremony , which was which was written by Joy Division, but not officially released until it became the first single by New Order, was the first he mentioned. But if that doesn't count, Trevor opted for Atmosphere .

Should you wish to book Trevor for a Joy Division tour of Macclesfield, please contact him on Facebook .

£4 from each ticket sale goes to charity.

CELEBRATING THE MUSIC OF JOY DIVISION SINCE 2006

Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live Joy Division gig, Transmission emulate the sound of one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era.  Joy Division were formed in the late 1970s and dissolved in 1980 after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis.  The remaining members went on to form New Order and have achieved much critical and commercial success.  The influence of Joy Division, however, was far reaching.  They were considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s.  Forty four years on you can relive the dark, cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission - the UK's number one Joy Division tribute act.

TRANSMISSION THE SOUND OF JOY DVISION AT THE WAREHOUSE, LEEDS 2022

What people have said about us.

"Just a note to say I saw the absolutely fantastic Transmission the Sound of Joy Division in Kendal on Friday night and they were nothing short of brilliant. If you get the chance to see them - don't think twice." (Apr 2024)

"I was at the Stamford gig last night, and want to thank the band for a great performance. It's so obvious you really care about the JD legacy - I think the whole audience picked up on the authenticity that you create. The range of songs chosen was brilliant, ranging from better known songs to semi-obscure material, and b-sides. I was lucky enough to see Joy Division three times, and so was maybe a bit wary of how this gig would compare. And as tribute bands aren't really my thing, it was a late decision to go, partly prompted by being able to take my teenage son who has independently developed an interest in the band. I'm very happy to say I would recommend anyone to see Transmission if Joy Divisions music means something to them - and I really hope to make another gig on the band's journey round the UK." (Feb 2023)

"I've seen over 3000 bands over the years and I'm a musician myself. Transmission are the best tribute I have ever seen and heard. I never saw Joy Division when they were current - I was too young. But I know every nuance of their music and Transmission capture it to perfection. The first time I saw them, I spent the first 20 minutes crying because it truly was like being there, seeing the one band I wish I could have, but never had the chance to - simply stunning !" (2022)

"I go to Sub 89, Reading regularly and have seen Sham 69, UK Subs and The Damned amongst others and can safely say Transmission's performance was as good as any I've seen. there." (June 2022)

"I saw Transmission the Sound of Joy Division at the Garage, Glasgow and can honestly say they were one of the best tribute bands I've seen. Actually one of the best bands I've ever seen!" (May 2022)

OTHER STUFF

"Though I adore Martin Hannet's studio production, Joy Division live was first and foremost a pile driving rock band. This 'Gang of 4' capture the moment perfectly!"

​"It didn't feel like a tribute band at all. As close to the real thing as you could get."

​"They're so faithful to the actual songs it's unreal. Even ones like Atmosphere which you think wouldn't work well live, they have the crowd going wild for."

​"Unlike many tribute bands who make great efforts to look like clones of the band they cover, Transmission concentrate solely on the sound and musical ability of Joy Division and they pull it off perfectly."​

"Forget looking like a poor replica band - close your eyes at this gig and you would be forgiven for thinking you were at a Joy Division gig in 1980, the sound is so perfect."​

Traditionally, tribute bands tend to weave in a combination of musical ability, cosplay and a passing resemblance to members of the band they're emulating. In a lot of ways there's a cabaret element to tribute acts that's become an essential part of how they work. Transmission eschew all those trappings to simply deliver some impressive renditions of Joy Division classics, including 'She's Lost Control', 'Transmission' and 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'. A sturdy 'Shadowplay' also lurks in the set along with a few curveballs such as the raw 'No Love Lost'.

2024 NCAA baseball tournament bracket, scores: College World Series schedule, dates, regional matchups

The road to the college world series in omaha begins friday.

The 2024 NCAA baseball tournament is here. Action kicks off Friday in the 64-team bracket, which was unveiled on Monday. Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas A&M and North Carolina are the top four seeds in the field, and they're trying to reach the eight-team College World Series in June.

Before we jump in, you should know that the structure of the NCAA Baseball Tournament is a bit different from the more familiar hoops variant. Here's what you need to know on that front.

NCAA Baseball Tournament format

• The first round of play is known as the regional and it's a double-elimination format. Each of the 16 No. 1 seeds hosts its respective four-team regional, when possible. Each of the 16 regionals is seeded one through four. In each region, No. 1 faces No. 4, and No. 2 faces No. 3 on the first day of action. The winners of those two games then play each other, while the losers play an elimination game.
• The winner of each regional advances to the super regional. The super regional, which includes a total of 16 teams, is a best-of-three series format.
• The winners of the super regionals -- eight teams in all -- advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
• The College World Series is a double-elimination format until the final two teams are left standing. At that point, the slates are wiped clean and it's a best-of-three series to determine the national champion. 

NCAA Tournament, College World Series dates

• Regionals : May 31-June 2
• Super Regionals : June 6-8 or 7-9
• College World Series starts : June 14
• College World Series finals : June 22-24

The field of 64 includes eight national seeds, which you may consider the pre-tourney favorites to reach Omaha. Here are this year's eight national seeds: 

• Texas A&M
• North Carolina
• Florida State

If a national seed wins its regional, then it hosts the super regional when possible. Otherwise, the sites of the super regionals will be announced after the regional round concludes. Regional play gets underway on Friday, June 2. Now, here are the matchups for all 16 regionals, plus a reminder that each region is seeded one through four and is hosted by one of the 16 national seeds. You'll note that every top-eight seed this year comes from the SEC or ACC. 

Now for the regional matchups that make up the opening round.

• No. 3 West Virginia 4, No. 2 Dallas Baptist 1

Here's a link to NCAA.com's full bracket , which includes region vs. region pairings for the super regionals. Now for some quick hit takeaways on the 64-team field laid out above: 

• It's possible we'll have a repeat this year, as reigning champion LSU is indeed part of the field of 64. College baseball hasn't had a repeat national champion at the Division I level since South Carolina in 2010 and 2011.
• The SEC this year set an all-time record with 11 tournament teams. Next in line this year is the ACC with eight bids. 
• High Point, Niagara, and Northern Kentucky are all appearing in the Division I tournament for the first time ever. 
• Vanderbilt owns the longest active streak of tournament appearances. This year's bid pushes that streak to 18 straight. 

All of the above leads up to the College World Series at Omaha's Charles Schwab Field. So who ya got?

Donald Trump Impersonator Draws Huge Crowd at NYC Rally Post-Conviction

Whoopi goldberg & joy behar overjoyed by trump conviction on 'the view', 'the view' gleeful re: trump verdict whoopi speaking, joy 'leaking'.

"The View" hosts couldn't contain their excitement a day after Donald Trump was convicted -- especially Whoopi Goldberg ... who took her sweet time to rub it in on the air.

The actress-comedian -- who apparently hasn't used Trump's name on the show in years -- riled up the crowd at the end of the show ... when she repeated "guilty" 34 times in reference to all of DJT's convictions , for 34 seconds no less.

Watch ... WG promises fans a quick recap of the trial, before firing off the word "guilty" repeatedly. She's even forced to yell over the crowd ... 'cause they break out in applause.

Of course, WG's not the only 'View' host who couldn't hold back ... quite literally, 'cause in Joy Behar 's case, she says started "leaking" when she heard the news in Costco.

It's not exactly shocking the ladies are so excited about the conviction ... they've regularly shared their contempt for the Donald over the years -- including last month, when Sunny Hostin blasted Trump for allegedly blasting farts in the courtroom.

As you know ... the ex-Prez was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records Thursday after a contentious trial. He's denied all wrongdoing repeatedly ... claiming the justice system's rigged against him. Trump's also called out the judge and the prosecution for months leading up to the conviction -- and yet, he's now technically a convicted felon.

Sounds like "The View" crew ain't losing any sleep over it ... if anything, they're fully rejoicing.
