Spoken word show by John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) in which he talks about how he sees life and takes questions from the audience.
John Lydon is coming to the New Theatre Royal on Saturday 1 May 2027, starting at 7.30 pm. It's not a gig, though. He's touring I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right, his spoken word show, and this is the Portsmouth date of a UK tour that runs from 31 March to 26 June 2027.
If you know him as Johnny Rotten, you've got the right man. He was the frontman and lyricist for the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd, and he's often described as a figure who changed the face of music and sparked a cultural revolution. This show, however, is about him talking rather than singing. He spends the evening sharing how he sees life and taking questions from the audience, so it's as much about what he says as what you ask him.
It's a spoken word format, which means the whole thing rests on his voice and his perspective. The Portsmouth stop is one of many across the UK that spring, with the tour stretching from late March through to late June. If you're keen on more than just a seat, there are VIP meet'n'greet packages available too.
