Rebellion Festival are excited to announce that post punk icons Public Image Limited will return to the event at its annual home at the Blackpool Winter Gardens in 2025. Having previously played the festival in 2012 and 2018, PiL are confirmed to headline on Saturday August 9th<\/sup> as part of their \u2018This Is Not The Last Tour\u2019 tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by former Sex Pistols frontman and punk originator John Lydon, PiL\u2019s tour dates for 2025 come after Lydon thought the band might not tour again. 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\u2019s wife, Nora, in April 2023. Lydon thought that might be the end of his touring days. However, he was overwhelmed by the love and support of fans when he undertook a spoken word tour of the UK in spring this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lydon said: \u201cI thought that might be it. After losing Nora, and Rambo, I couldn\u2019t see a way through. I\u2019d already committed to the spoken word tour, this spring, and I never let anyone down \u2013 I always stick to my word \u2013 so I had to do those dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe 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\u2019t just stay on my sofa and not tour \u2013 tempting though that obviously is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PiL are sure to treat Rebellion Festival to yet another captivating set from their vast back catalogue of classics and join an already stellar line up of punk and alternative icons and rising new talent at the fabled punk festival, set to return to the Blackpool Winter Gardens, August 7th<\/sup> \u2013 10th<\/sup> 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
