Punk legend John Lydon to visit Derry next year
Former Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten will bring his spoken word tour to the Millennium Forum next September
Punk legend and icon John Lydon has extended his next spoken word tour, adding more dates in Ireland including a night in the Millennium Forum in Derry on September 7.
Tickets go on sale at 10am this Friday, September 27.
The new tour follows the success of a spoken word tour in Spring 2024, and will see Lydon reflecting on the Sex Pistols, Public Image Limited (PiL), his art and his life’s story during informal evenings of conversation and audience questions.
An icon, a revolutionary and an immortal, as the frontman and lyricist of the Sex Pistols, Johnny Rotten changed the face of music and sparked a cultural revolution.
He caused an earthquake which transformed music for good. During his remarkable years in Public Image Ltd he consistently pushed back the boundaries and still continues to challenge and thrive.
As a writer, Lydon wrote two best-selling volumes of memoir: the excoriating Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs and the ridiculously entertaining and uncompromising Anger Is An Energy: My Life Uncensored. Now he is embarking on a spoken word tour, where fans will get to hear his stories up-close-and-personal.
