Ticketmaster or See Tickets. Here we look back on the New Order concerts which have added to the band's legend.Credited as the first-ever New Order show - just months after the passing of Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis - the band came together for the Printed Noises benefit.

Peter Hook has recalled how he and Bernard Sumner were re-taught Joy Division‘s ‘New Dawn Fades’ by the Red Hot Chili Peppers before they played it on stage with Moby in 2001.The Joy Division duo were invited by Moby to perform the 1979 song, which featured on the band’s debut album ‘Unknown Pleasures’, with him while New Order were touring with the ‘Play’ artist as part of his ‘Area 1’ North America tour in 2001.Speaking during a new interview that was conducted with Hook for an online ‘In Conversation’ event to mark the 40th anniversary of Joy Division’s ‘Closer’, Hook recalled how the unlikely music lesson from the Chilis came about.“One of my greatest moments was when we toured with Moby, and he was playing ‘New Dawn Fades’.

Joy Division bassist Peter Hook has spoken about playing the band’s album ‘Closer‘ (1980) in full for the first time, labelling it one of his “greatest” moments as a musician.Hook, who played in New Order – the band formed from the ashes of Joy Division – until 2007, and now heads up Peter Hook & The Light, has said in a new interview that the rare chance to perform Joy Division’s final album was special.“I must admit, one of the greatest moments as a musician I’ve ever had was to actually play ‘Closer’ in its entirety and to get it back,” he told Rolling Stone.

Peter Hook has paid tribute to the late Florian Schneider by hailing Kraftwerk as the main inspiration for his old bands Joy Division and New Order.
