After many years in Commodore Barry Park, AFROPUNK moved to Greenpoint Terminal Market last year for their 2023 “Circus of Soul,” and for 2024 they’re moving again. They’ve announced BLKTOPIA BKLYN, a two-day festival happening in Prospect Park.

PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT

“It still amazes me how enjoyable it is to play the Substance LPs,” says Peter Hook of his upcoming tour, where he and his band The Light will play both the New Order and Joy Division Substance comps. “The contrast between Joy Division and New Order is very apparent but both complement each other very well. My only frustration is not being able to play more of our records each night. I am totally looking forward to the next phase. So, let’s enjoy some Substance and get ready for the future.” The NYC stop happens September 6 at Brooklyn Steel.
