Peter Hook has added dates in Detroit and Austin, Texas, on his North American tour this September with his band The Light — on which he’ll perform New Order’s first two albums, 1981′s Movement and 1983′s Power, Corruptions & Lies, in their entirety, as well as various singles and B-sides “from the corresponding period of the band’s history.”
He’s also set two U.K. warm-up dates before heading across the pond.
The tour, Hook’s first U.S. trek in two years, will also include a previously announced slot at Chicago’s Riot Fest, where he’ll perform an exclusive Joy Division set.
The trek opens Sept. 10 in Boston and continues through Sept. 28 in Denver, hitting Riot Fest sometime between Sept. 13 and 15 and also including a Seattle show that is part of that city’s Decibel Festival.

Will the Chicago show be the only joy division set or will there be one in Seattle as well?. I live in San Diego, and plan on making the trek wherever it may be, but Seattle just makes more sense for me.. Can someone who actually knows for sure let me know?.. Thank you
Yes, Chicago is the only Joy Division set. The rest is the New Order set.
