Public Image Ltd has announced an extensive tour of North America beginning this fall.

The first leg begins September 3 in Pioneertown, and includes Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Minneapolis, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Boston, and other major cities, concluding October 9 in Nashville, with a second leg confirmed for February of next year.

Tickets for all shows are on sale this Friday, March 20 at 10 a.m.

local time, and are available from all venues and via the band's web site.

This year's tour dates follow the momentum gained in 2025, when the band played a string of shows and festival appearances in Europe.

Following the passing of his wife, Nora, and lifelong friend and manager, John Rambo Stevens, both in 2023, Lydon thought he might retire from touring.

However, he was overwhelmed by the response, love, and support of fans and this year is set to be an important one for the band.

A new live album, "Alive", recorded during last year's tour, is set for a spring release (details forthcoming),and the band are currently in the studio recording an album of new material for release in early 2027.

Looking forward to the shows this year, Lydon said: "After losing Nora and Rambo, I couldn't see a way through.

The thing is, people were so overwhelmingly positive, they really showed me a lot of love, 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." "We're looking forward to playing to our friends in North America.

It feels like it's been a long time and we're pleased to be coming back.

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."
