SUMMARY:THE ANCHORESS  ANNOUNCES FIRST CARDIFF HEADLINE  RETURNS WITH NEW MUSIC THIS YEAR
DESCRIPTION:Welsh producer and multi-instrumentalist The Anchoress has announced her first ever Cardiff headline show this summer\, where she will preview her upcoming album. \nThe Anchoress\, also known as Catherine Anne Davies\, is set to return with new music this year.

SUMMARY:John Lydon’s Iconoclastic Band Public Image Ltd (PiL) Announce Major Tour for 2025
DESCRIPTION:John Lydon’s iconoclastic band Public Image Ltd (PiL) has announced a major tour of the UK and Ireland for summer 2025. \nThe 23-date tour billed as ‘This Is Not The Last Tour’ will start in Bristol on 22nd May and end in Belfast on 16th August\, and includes dates along the way in Dublin (12th June) and Cardiff (14th June). \nThe tour also include festival appearances at Stone Valley South in Ware (23rd May)\, Stone Valley Midlands in Newark (27th June)\, Rebellion Festival in Blackpool (7th August)\, Stone Valley North in Durham (8th August) and Putting the Fast in Belfast (16th August). \nTickets go on sale at 10.00am on Friday 15th November\, available from all venues and via www.pilofficial.com. \nPiL’s tour dates for 2025 comes after Lydon thought the band might not tour again. His lifelong friend and manager\, John Rambo Stevens passed away suddenly following the last PiL tour\, in December 2023\, soon after the death of Lydon’s wife\, Nora\, in April 2023. \nLydon thought that might be the end of his touring days. However\, he was overwhelmed by the love and support of fans when he undertook a spoken word tour of the UK in spring this year. \nLydon said: “I thought that might be it. After losing Nora\, and Rambo\, I couldn’t see a way through. I’d already committed to the spoken word tour\, this spring\, and I never let anyone down – I always stick to my word – so I had to do those dates. \n“The thing is\, people were so overwhelmingly positive\, 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.” \nAfter fronting the Sex Pistols\, John Lydon formed post-punk originators Public Image Ltd (PiL). Widely regarded as one of the most innovative bands of all time\, their music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 Singles and 5 UK Top 20 Albums. \nWith a shifting line-up and unique sound – fusing rock\, dance\, folk\, pop and dub – Lydon guided the band from their debut album ‘First Issue’ in 1978 through to 1992’s ‘That What Is Not’\, before a 17 year hiatus. \nLydon reactivated PiL in 2009\, touring extensively and releasing three critically acclaimed albums\, ‘This is PiL’ (2012)\, ‘What The World Needs Now…’ (2015) and ‘End of World’ (2023). \nThe full list of PiL’s 2025 tour dates is as follows: \n22nd May      Bristol                   02 Academy \n23rd May      Ware                     Stone Valley Festival South \n24th May      Bournemouth         02 Academy \n29th May      Barnsley                Birdwell \n30th May      Newcastle              Boiler Shop \n31st May      Norwich                Epic Studios \n12th June      Dublin                   3Olympia \n13th June      Limerick                Dolan’s Warehouse \n14th June      Cardiff                  Depot \n20th June      Vitoria-Gasteiz       Azkena Rock Festival \n26th June      Hastings                White Rock \n27th June      Newark                 Stone Valley Festival Midlands \n28th June      Oxford                  O2 Academy \n3rd July        Leicester                O2 Academy \n4th July         Lincoln                  Engine Shed \n5th July         Portsmouth            Guildhall \n30th July       Sheffield                Leadmill \n31st July       Northampton          Roadmenders \n1st August     Holmfirth              Picturedrome \n7th August    Blackpool              Rebellion Festival \n8th August    Durham                 Stone Valley Festival North \n9th August    Coventry               Empire \n15th August   Cork                     City Hall \n16th August   Belfast                   Putting the Fast in Belfast\, Custom House Square
