Joy Division fans are in for a real treat this September. Founding member Peter Hook will perform the band’s debut album Unknown Pleasures in its entirety in three special shows.
The 1979 album kickstarted Joy Division’s prolific career. Tragically less than one year later the band’s lead singer Ian Curtis committed suicide. While Hook, Bernard Sumner, and Stephen Morris labored on, many feel the band was never the same.
Tickets go on sale on July 2 for the following shows.
24 September 2010 – Palais Theatre, Melbourne
25 September 2010 – Enmore Theatre, Sydney
27 September 2010 – Tivoli Theatre, Brisbane
