"Get Ready was a honeymoon record," said Peter Hook in a statement. "Looking back now it was very enjoyable to make, and I think is massively underrated. It did sort the wheat from the chaff and led to a New Order mk2 which played better but had lost a naivety whilst gaining a maturity. Barney and I became a 'power couple' in Manchester during the making of the record but, sadly, the old problems recurred when we came to play live. The writing was on the wall from then on. The two of us worked very hard to make this a great record."
The tour follows Peter Hook & the Light's 2024 outing, which saw Hook and his band performing the Joy Division and New Order singles compilations Substance in full. Now, Hook is preparing for a major celebration of Get Ready, which served as New Order's first album in eight years upon its release in 2001 as well as the final album with their original lineup.
