Public Image Ltd announce winter ‘This Is Not The Last Tour’ UK dates

Public Image Ltd. have announced a run of UK tour dates taking place this winter. Check out the details below.

The new dates come as an extension of the group’s ‘This Is Not The Last Tour’ dates, which were announced at the end of last year and have so far seen them play across the UK since May.

Now, John Lydon and co. have announced more shows to be added to the run, all taking place at the end of the year and beginning of 2026.

New shows kick off on December 27 with a night at the O2 Forum in London, and continue over the next two nights with stops at Manchester’s O2 Ritz and Wolverhampton’s Wulfrun Hall.

Dates continue in the new year, with back-to-back slots at Swindon’s Meca and Swansea’s Patti Pavilion on January 3 and 4 respectively, and wrap up with stops in Cambridge, Frome and Coventry on the 6th, 7th and 10th.

“Treat yourself to a Rotten Christmas and New Year,” the singer (who formerly fronted the Sex Pistols under the name Johnny Rotten) wrote, announcing the shows.

Before the 2025 tour dates kicked off this spring, the post-punk band last performed in the UK in September 2023 before embarking on a run of European dates the following month. Those shows came in support of PiL’s 11th and most recent studio album, last year’s ‘End Of World’.

The frontman would later say that he thought the group wouldn’t tour together again, following the death of his lifelong friend and manager, John Rambo Stevens in December 2023, and the death of his wife, Nora, that April.

His mind was changed by the support he received from fans when he undertook a spoken word tour. “The thing is, people were so overwhelmingly positive, and they asked me to tour PiL again,” he said. “With so many people asking and with the band meaning so much to them, I couldn’t just stay on my sofa and not tour – tempting though that obviously is.”

Earlier this year, to coincide with the shows, the singer designed a new logo for the band. The original one, has become an iconic symbol in post-punk music and features the acronym ‘PiL’, stylised with a lowercase “i” to depict the line where the pill breaks.

The new logo was set to symbolise “a new beginning” for the band, and reimagined the original design in a diamond shape with a more jagged font. It also came amid a legal battle between Lydon and photographer and designer Dennis Morris over the logo.
