Hook made sure his loyal fans enjoyed themselves to the fullest with his back to back live shows featuring performances of classic Joy Division/New Order albums.

“Alright, let’s do this,” Hook said, without wasting any time. They then launched into ‘No Lost Love.’
The band later took a brief break after playing the entire famous Unknown Pleasures album for the sold-out audience. They quickly returned to the stage and began performing songs from the Movement album, to another enthusiastic reception.
As Hook returned to the stage to continue the first of three nights at Albert Hall, supporters all throughout the venue were eager to catch this historic event on camera.
Peter Hook and The Light took their bows as Movement came to a close with the classic song ‘Denial,’ leaving the audience calling for more as they left the stage.
