LEGENDARY rockers PiL – fronted by former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon – are returning to the Cheese and Grain in Frome next year.

Full name Public Image Ltd, the band has previously sold-out three shows at the Somerset venue.

Now, they are returning with special guests The Gulps, for a gig on Wednesday, January 7.

The band, described as post-punk and famed for hits including Public Image and Rise, has long featured a rotating line-up and eclectic back catalogue, fusing rock with electronic music and even folk.

After disbanding in 1992, Lydon brought the band back in 2009, going on to tour extensively and release three further albums, the last of which was 2023’s End of World.

A pre-sale of tickets for PiL at the Cheese and Grain will take place tomorrow (August 12), with the general sale following on Wednesday, costing £39 in advance (plus a standard service charge), via cheeseandgrain.com/events/public-image-ltd.

Meanwhile, hardcore punk legends Discharge are set to take the stage at the Cheese and Grain on September 13, with tickets costing £20 in advance.
