2019 is the 40th anniversary of Joy Division's album Unknown Pleasures.
To mark the occasion Transmission will be playing the album in all its entirety as their first set, with a second set of the band's iconic classics, when they play Bedford Esquires on Saturday (October 12).
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 May 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.
More than 20 years on you can still relive the dark cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission one of the leading UK tribute bands.
Tickets are on sale now here priced at £10.
