Peter Hook has announced he'll perform two special shows in the U.K. to mark the 40th anniversary of Joy Division's seminal albums Unknown Pleasures and Closer.

Joy Division: A Celebration will see Peter Hook and the Light performing both classic albums in full along with an opening set of New Order material. The shows take place May 15th at O2 Academy Brixton in London and May 16th at the O2 Apollo in Manchester. Tickets for the shows go on sale Friday, April 26th.

Unknown Pleasures turns 40 years old this June (originally released June 15th, 1979) while Closer turns 40 in July 2020 (originally issued July 18th, 1980).

Hook hasn't announced plans for any other 40th anniversary celebrations elsewhere in 2020, however Peter Hook & The Light will return to North America later this year for the previously announced Technique/Republic tour which includes a Joy Division opening set. Tickets for the tour are on sale now.
