The John Lydon fronted sound experimentalists Public Image Ltd are set to return for a series of very special performances for the first time in 17 years.

After fronting the Sex Pistols John Lydon formed Public Image Ltd in 1978 with their experimental sound fusing Rock, Dance, Folk, Ballet, Pop and Dub PiL are regarded as producing some of the most diverse music of the post-punk era. As a band the music and vision constantly evolved like no other, culminating in an incredible live experience.

Consisting of John Lydon, Lu Edmonds, Bruce Smith and Scott Firth the band will tour nationwide in celebration of the 30th year anniversary of the groundbreaking 'Metal Box' album. They will also be showcasing the unique sounds of singles such as 'Public Image', 'Death Disco' and 'This Is Not A Love Song', to 'Rise' and 'Seattle', with many further surprises in store.

Now these 2009 December shows are set to re-create the Christmas vibe that was at the forefront of PiL's first ever UK gigs on Christmas Day and Boxing Day in 1978 at The London Rainbow Theatre.

The tour dates are as follows:
Tue 15 December O2 Academy, Birmingham
Wed 16 December O2 Academy, Leeds
