Public Image Ltd (PiL), the iconic band led by John Lydon, has announced a series of special Australian & New Zealand shows as part of their global This Is Not… The Final PiL Tour.
Following sold-out European and North American legs in 2026, the band will bring their uncompromising sound, raw energy, and genre-defying performance to Australian audiences for the first time since 2013 and in New Zealand for the first time since 1989. Fans can expect a setlist spanning PiL’s formidable catalogue – including groundbreaking early works like Public Image and Metal Box.
The current line-up features John Lydon (vocals) alongside long-standing members Bruce Smith (drums), Lu Edmonds (guitar) and Scott Firth (bass) are delivering the heavy, hypnotic grooves and confrontational edge that have defined PiL since their formation in 1978.
