[tweetmeme]Peter Hook will mark the 35th anniversary of Ian Curtis’ death by performing the complete works of Joy Division in a 500-seat, 18th century church in Macclesfield, England — a charity event dubbed “So This is Permanence” that will see all proceeds donated to the Epilepsy Society and the Churches Conservation Trust, according to the bassist.
The concert, at which Hook and his band The Light “will play every single track ever written and recorded” by Joy Division, is set for May 18 at at Christ Church, with tickets going on sale 9 a.m. Wednesday.
The “So This is Permanence” concert, named after a lyric from “Twenty Four Hours,” follows Hook’s spring tour of the southern U.S. during which he’ll play Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures and Closer in addition to an opening set of New Order favorites.
Hook recently completed his
Low-Life/Brotherhood tour, which included performances of both albums plus singles and B-sides from what Hook calls New Order’s “most prolific period,” spanning August 1983 up to 1987, including “Thieves Like Us,’” “State of the Nation,” “Love Vigilantes,” “The Perfect Kiss” and more.
