Public Image Ltd -This Is Not The Last Tour

After fronting the Sex Pistols, John Lydon formed post-punk originators Public Image Ltd (PiL). Widely regarded as one of the most innovative bands of all time, their music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 Singles and 5 UK Top 20 Albums.

With a shifting line-up and unique sound – fusing rock, dance, folk, pop and dub – Lydon guided the band from their debut album ‘First Issue’ in 1978 through to 1992’s ‘That What Is Not’, before a 17 year hiatus.

Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009, touring extensively and releasing three critically acclaimed albums ‘This is PiL’ in 2012 followed by ‘What The World Needs Now…’ in 2015 and ‘End of World’ in 2023. 

PiL continue to challenge and thrive.

Formed in 2008, Plague Vendor carved out a name for themselves in the Los Angeles club scene with their unhinged live performances and turbulent brand of post-punk. Word quickly spread about frontman Brandon Blaine’s enigmatic stage presence, drawing comparisons to young Iggy Pop and Nick Cave. Their performances eventually caught the attention of Brett Gurewitz, who signed the band to Epitaph Records in 2013.

Their debut album, Free to Eat, delivered a combustible ten songs in just seventeen minutes. The release earned critical acclaim, with comparisons to The Gun Club, Iggy & The Stooges, The Cramps, and The Jesus Lizard.

The follow-up albums BLOODSWEAT and By Night further cemented the band’s reputation as a powerhouse rock act with a strong studio presence. These records showcased the group expanding their sound through collaborations with producers Stuart Sikes (known for work with The White Stripes and The Walkmen) and John Congleton (St. Vincent), respectively.

Plague Vendor’s top-tier live show has earned them opening slots for artists including Muse, Deftones, The Offspring, Social Distortion, and Refused. The band has also received widespread praise for appearances across the U.S. and U.K. festival and club circuits.

Now joined by guitarist Henri Cash of Starcrawler, Plague Vendor continues to uphold its reputation as one of the hardest-working bands on stage while road-testing new material.
