Widely regarded as one of the most innovative and original bands to emerge from the post-punk era, PIL are leaders of the pack when it comes to growth, transformation and creating songs straight from the heart.
From dub reggae and post-punk to krautrock and angular dance pop, their sound has borrowed and evolved throughout the years. What’s remained constant is the presence of John Lydon’s anger, pain, humour and wit. Although provocative and contrarian by nature, he is undoubtedly captivating.
Their date at Sheffield forms part of their This Is Not The Last Tour tour.
