To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Public Image Ltd will tour the UK, Europe and Japan this summer.

The activity coincides with the release of a career-spanning box set (details TBC) and the screening of Tabbert Fiiller’s documentary, The Public Image Is Rotten, in select cinemas. The film previously showed at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival and London’s Raindance Festival last year.
