Public Image Ltd. are returning to North America for one of the most extensive touring campaigns of their career. The run kicks off September 3 in Pioneertown, California, stretches through October, and then resumes in February 2027, continuing through late March with stops across the South, Midwest, and Florida. A new album of original material is also in progress, slated to arrive at the top of next year.
The tour arrives alongside Alive, a live album recorded during PiL’s 2025 tour, set for spring release. Together, the live record and the road run frame a band that has found renewed momentum after a deeply difficult period. John Lydon lost both his wife, Nora Forster, and his manager, Rambo Stevens, in 2023, and came close to stepping away from touring entirely. It was the response from fans that brought him back. “People were so overwhelmingly positive, they really showed me a lot of love,” he said.
Lydon is characteristically direct about what comes next: “We’ve just been into the studio for four weeks to start work on our new record. You’ll be hearing a lot more from PiL.” That new album, combined with a North American tour of this scale, signals a band operating with real intent rather than coasting on legacy.
The fall 2026 leg hits Pioneertown, Santa Cruz, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Boise, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Detroit, Toronto, New York, Pittsburgh, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston, Richmond, Raleigh, Atlanta, and Nashville. The winter and spring 2027 extension covers Salt Lake City, Denver, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, and a run of Florida dates before closing out in Columbus, Ohio.
This Is Not The Last Tour. Based on the schedule, that feels like a challenge.
