Post-punk originators PUBLIC IMAGE LTD (PiL) this morning announced they will play their first ever Dublin show at TRIPOD in June this year.
The seminal band, whose early work has been acknowledged as a huge influence by bands like LCD Soundsystem, Franz Ferdinand, and The Rapture, played a storming show at Electric Picnic last year after they reunited in 2009 to play their first live shows in 17 years.
Founded in 1978 by former Sex Pistols frontman JOHN LYDON, PiL are regarded as producing some of the most diverse music of the post-punk era, and are cited as one of the most innovative and influential bands in music history. As a band, the music and vision constantly evolved like no other, culminating in an incredible live experience.
