Peter Hook returns to North America for a New Order LP tour

Peter Hook announced today that he's heading back to North America this fall for a handful of live dates where he'll perform New Order's albums Movement and Power, Corruption and Lies in full. Like his January/February promo tour for Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division, he's visiting very few cities, and he's not scheduled to play Detroit. As for Chicago, there isn't a date for the Movement/PCL tour, but Hook will be playing a Joy Division set at this year's Riot Fest, which is scheduled to take place September 13th - 15th at Humboldt Park (looks like he'll be playing the September 15th date). Check out Hooky's Movement/PCL tour dates below:

UPDATE: A Detroit date might actually happen according to this awesome Peter Hook tweet!
