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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said: \u201cI thought that might be it. After losing Nora and Rambo, I couldn\u2019t see a way through. I\u2019d already committed to the spoken word tour this spring, and I never let anyone down \u2013 I always stick to my word \u2013 so I had to do those dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe 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\u2019t just stay on my sofa and not tour \u2013 tempting though that obviously is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PiL are sure to treat Rebellion Festival to yet another captivating set from their vast back catalogue of classics, joining a line-up of punk and alternative icons and rising new talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bands and artists already confirmed for Rebellion 2025, which runs from 7-10 August, include Peter Hook &amp; The Light, Hugh Cornwell, The Selecter, Bad Manners, Ferocious Dog, Neville Staple from The Specials, HR from Bad Brains, Anti Nowhere League, DOA, Los Fastidios, Crux, Buster Shuffle, Down By Law, The Undertones, MDC, UK Subs, Snuff, The Exploited, Riskee &amp; The Ridicule, Voodoo Glow Skulls, 999, Millencolin, Pegboy, Toxic Reasons and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rebellion Festival 2025 is already shaping up to be one not to miss. Early bird tickets are sold out, but weekend and day tickets are still available from <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rebellionfestivals.com\">www.rebellionfestivals.com<\/a><\/strong>, and available
