To celebrate their 40th Anniversary, John Lydon\u2019s Public Image Ltd (PiL) are pleased to announce The Public Image is Rotten: with stop in Prague – July 13th. Further PiL activity includes the release of a career\u2013spanning box set and a documentary of the same name, the latter of which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York and then had its European premiere at London\u2019s Raindance Festival in 2017. Directed by Tabbert Fiiller, it will be released later this year in select cinemas.<\/p>\n
The band\u2019s last tour was in 2016 and it was regarded by many as the best performances the band have ever played. The forthcoming 32-date headline UK\/Europe leg of the tour also takes in festival performances in United Kingdom, Holland and Poland and an exclusive club show in Prague, Czech Republic.<\/p>\n
In 2015 the band released their 10th studio album \u2018What The World Needs Now\u2026\u2019 which followed the huge critical success of 2012\u2019s \u2018This is PiL\u2019, the band\u2019s first album in 17 years. \u2018What The World Needs Now\u2019 peaked at number 29 in the official UK album charts and picked up fantastic acclaim from both press and public. (The album also peaked at number 3 in the official UK indie charts and number 4 in the official UK vinyl charts). \u2018What The World Needs Now\u2026\u2019 was self-funded by PiL and released on their own label \u2018PiL Official\u2019 via Cargo UK Distribution.<\/p>\n
Widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential bands of all time, PiL\u2019s music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 singles and 5 UK Top 20 albums. With a shifting line-up and unique sound, John Lydon guided the band from their debut album \u2018First Issue\u2019 in 1978 through to 1992\u2019s \u2018That What Is Not\u2019. After a 17 year hiatus, Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009 by taking them back on the road worldwide.<\/p>\n
John Lydon, Lu Edmonds, Scott Firth and Bruce Smith continue as PiL. They are the longest stable line-up in the band\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
