Peter Hook & The Light performed at The Warfield in San Francisco on Sept. 21. Keanu Reeves, a longtime Joy Division fan, introduced the band onstage that night. Reeves had previously selected Love Will Tear Us Apart as the song he would take to a deserted island.

Hook and the band played songs by Joy Division and New Order, along with two songs by Monaco. At the end of a 26-song set, Hook performed Love Will Tear Us Apart, while Reeves enthusiastically joined in from a private box.

Peter Hook will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later this year. Other members of the 2026 class include Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Oasis, Sade, Luther Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan.

Reeves' band Dogstar was formed in 1994 and returned in 2023 after a long hiatus. Dogstar released its new album All In Now this year and toured the United Kingdom and Europe in June and July, performing at various festivals.
