Public Image Limited (PiL) Tickets

Presented by: Premier Artists, Metropolis Touring & ThePhoenix.AU

"The word legend does not do justice to the legacy of Sex Pistols and Public Image founder, vocalist and agent provocateur John Lydon; and tonight's performance with PiL is beyond a return to form. He is once again a lean mean snarling machine back at the peak of his powers. Utterly glorious!"

Public Image Ltd (PiL), the iconic band led by John Lydon, has announced a series of special Australian shows as part of their ongoing global “This Is Not… The Final PiL Tour.”

Following a sold-out European tour 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.

“This is PiL in full force. Expect the unexpected.”

The current line-up featuring 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.

Formed by John Lydon after the Sex Pistols, Public Image Ltd redefined post-punk with their fusion of dub, rock, electronics, and avant-garde experimentation. With a career spanning over four decades and a string of influential albums, PiL remain true to their ethos: “This is not a rehearsal.”

PiL continue to push boundaries as one of the most influential and unpredictable forces in modern music. Never content to repeat themselves, the band remains a vital, living entity – angry, experimental, and utterly unique.
