Public Image Limited was one of my highlights at Coachella 2010 [my review is elsewhere on this blog]. Good to see them back again... 

PiL return to North America with a tour running from October-November. The jaunt is in support of This is PiL.

Their first new music in 20 years, the album was released this past May via the PiL Official label.

Tickets for the shows are on sale now.

The lineup...

John Lydon: After fronting the Sex Pistols, John Lydon formed PiL in 1978. Outside of PiL, John has released several solo records and collaborations.

Lu Edmonds: Multi-instrumentalist and former guitarist in The Damned Lu joined PiL in 1986 recording and playing on the album Happy? and co-writing the album 9.

Bruce Smith: Former drummer in The Pop Group and The Slits became percussionist for PiL also in 1986 playing and recording on the albums Happy? and 9.
