Peter Hook & The Light

Peter Hook & The Light play Edinburgh Corn Exchange on Saturday 22 May 2027. The date was recently confirmed as part of the Interzone bill, with the show moving to 22 May and a listed 4pm start time.

This is more than a single-headliner gig, with The Wedding Present, Chameleons, and The Armoury Show all named on the line-up, making it one of the stronger alternative music bookings currently showing for Edinburgh in spring 2027.

If you are into post-punk, indie history, and bands with a serious catalogue behind them, this is the sort of event worth circling early. Peter Hook & The Light have built a strong live reputation, especially with material linked to Joy Division and New Order.

The wider line-up makes the afternoon start especially relevant. This looks designed as a longer-form multi-band event rather than a standard one-set evening concert, so it should have a mini-festival feel inside the venue.

Edinburgh Corn Exchange

Edinburgh Corn Exchange is one of the city’s established larger indoor gig venues and regularly hosts rock, indie, and touring live-music events. It is suited to standing shows and bigger line-ups where atmosphere matters.

Getting There

The venue is on New Market Road in the west of the city, beyond Haymarket. It is easiest to reach by bus, taxi, or car rather than by walking from the centre, so plan your route in advance if you are unfamiliar with the area.

Before You Go

• Because this has a 4pm start, treat it as an afternoon-and-evening event rather than a standard night gig.
• Multi-band line-ups can have earlier support slots than expected, so do not arrive too late if you want the full bill.
• If you are travelling across the city, double-check the latest event timing on the day.
