The former lead singer of the Sex Pistols will return to Sussex to perform on his new tour.

John Lydon’s band Public Image Ltd (PiL) announced they will come to the White Rock in Hastings for their This Is Not The Last Tour on June 26.

PiL’s tour dates for 2025 come after Lydon thought the band might not tour again.

After fronting the Sex Pistols, John Lydon formed post-punk Public Image Ltd (PiL) in 1978. Their music and vision earned them five UK Top 20 Singles and five UK Top 20 Albums.

His lifelong friend and manager, John Rambo Stevens passed away suddenly following the last PiL tour, in December 2023, soon after the death of Lydon’s wife, Nora, in April 2023.

Lydon said: “I thought that might be it. After losing Nora, and Rambo, I couldn’t see a way through.

 “The thing is, people were so overwhelmingly positive, and they asked me to tour PiL again.

“With so many people asking and with the band meaning so much to them, I couldn’t just stay on my sofa and not tour – tempting though that obviously is.”
