Public Image Ltd.

Public Image Ltd. play Mohawk on Tuesday, February 23, 2027. It's a London post-punk band led by John Lydon, who you probably know as the frontman of the Sex Pistols. If you've only ever heard the Pistols, this is a different animal entirely—PiL has been Lydon's own project since the late seventies, and the sound is built on the kind of jagged, bass-heavy post-punk that helped define the era.

Opening the night is Plague Vendor, so there's a full bill to work through before the headliner takes the stage. The show starts at 7 PM, and since it's a Tuesday, you'll want to plan your evening around that early start.

For context, Public Image Ltd. formed after Lydon left the Sex Pistols, and they've spent the decades since carving out their own space. Lydon is still the voice at the center of it, and the band's post-punk roots are right there in the name. If you're familiar with the early records, you know the sound: sparse, angular, and driven by a heavy rhythm section. It's a long way from the punk chaos of the late seventies, and it's the music Lydon has spent most of his career making.

So, it's Public Image Ltd. with Plague Vendor opening, Tuesday, February 23, at Mohawk, starting at 7 PM.
