Hook tells NME: “It was tough, it was completely stupid and ridiculous, but in the end we did it and it felt absolutely wonderful to play the whole library of my absolutely favourite band.”  Peter Hook is to mark 40 years since the death of Ian Curtis by streaming a gig in which he played every Joy Division sing with his band The Light.

The 2015 concert saw Hooky perform at Christ Church in Curtis’ hometown of Macclesfield. Now, a three hour concert movie So This Is Permanent will be streamed for the first ever time on Monday May 18, the 40th anniversary of the late frontman’s death.

It will be broadcast from 12pm and available for just 24 hours before a DVD becomes available in March. Fans are encouraged to donate to The Epilepsy Society.
