Large screens in the background display a close-up of a face and a geometric line graphic, while bright stage lights cast beams across the scene.

Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live Joy Division gig, Transmission emulate the sound of one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era.

Joy Division were formed in the late 1970s and dissolved in 1980 after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members went on to form New Order and have achieved much critical and commercial success. The influence of Joy Division, however, was far reaching. They were considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Forty four years on you can relive the dark, cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission – the UK’s number one Joy Division tribute act.
