Peter Hook & The Light special guests for Soft Cell concert in Kent (UK) on Friday 7th July 2023
Soft Cell will perform live in an exclusive outdoor concert in the grounds of Rochester Castle, Kent on Friday 7th July 2023, with special guests Peter Hook & The Light who will perform music from Peter Hook’s first bands, New Order and Joy Division.
First revisiting Joy Division’s seminal album “Unknown Pleasures” back in May 2010 for a commemorative charity concert and following it each year with new albums performed live from the repertoire of Hook’s bands, New Order and Joy Division, Peter Hook & The Light have now moved through each of the albums from those bands and recently finished up a world-wide tour of Factory Records “Substance” compilation albums.
Recently The Light have celebrated over four decades of Joy Divison’s and Ian Curtis’ continuing influence with the “Joy Division : A Celebration” concerts where they will play both of that band’s albums in full which continue in 2023.
Below is an idea what to expect.

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help.
