Pictorial: Public Image Ltd at Manchester Academy

John Lydon reforms Public Image Ltd after 17 years and performs at Manchester Academy on December 19th.

In a two and a half hour set, the band looked pleased and happy at the Manchester crowd applauding and singing along to the tracks.

After getting hit by a pint of beer during ‘Careering’, John Lydon pointed out the fan to the crowd telling him ‘You’ve paid for that beer, you really should learn how to drink it. I’ve had your money now fuck off, we don’t want you here!’ to which the fans chanted ‘Wanker!’ at the guy!

The tour marks the 30th anniversary of the band’s album Metal Box.
