Public Image Ltd, led by John Lydon, plays a greatest-hits set with Plague Vendor in an all-ages show at Newport Music Hall.
Public Image Ltd play Newport Music Hall on Tuesday, March 23, 2027, as part of their This Is Not The Last Tour. They're bringing Plague Vendor along to open the bill.
If you're not familiar with the name, Public Image Ltd is the band John Lydon started after he left the Sex Pistols. These days it's led by Lydon and guitarist Lu Edmonds. For those who've followed them since the early 1980s, the shows are still a point of conversation, and reviewers have noted that Lydon keeps an unmistakable presence on stage. It's a long run for a band that started in the wake of one of the biggest breakups in punk history.
As for what they'll actually play, the band tends to stick to a greatest-hits set. There's no current album to promote, so the night will be built around the songs they're best known for rather than new material. That makes it a straightforward way to see them if you're coming for the familiar stuff.
