Post punk legends PiL confirm headline Welsh date
John Lydon’s post-Pistols group Public Image Limited (PiL) are confirmed to headline at DEPOT in Cardiff next summer.
After fronting the Sex Pistols, John Lydon formed post-punk originators Public Image Ltd (PiL).
Widely regarded as one of the most innovative bands of all time, their music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 Singles and 5 UK Top 20 Albums.
Comeback
With a shifting line-up and unique sound – fusing rock, dance, folk, pop and dub – Lydon guided the band from their debut album ‘First Issue’ in 1978 through to 1992’s ‘That What Is Not’, before the bank took a 17-year hiatus.
Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009, touring extensively and releasing two critically acclaimed albums; ‘This is PiL’ in 2012 followed by ‘What The World Needs Now…’ in 2015.
John Lydon, Lu Edmonds, Scott Firth and Bruce Smith continue as PiL.
They are the longest stable line-up in the band’s history and continue to challenge and thrive.

I used to love the Sex Pistols and Public Image Limited (PIL) but John Lydons’ frequent appearances on GBeebies bigging up Trump and their agenda in general has trashed his entire legacy for me and as a result, I will not be seeking a ticket. Sometimes, ‘free speech’ is not best advised.
