Public Enemy: celebrated US hip-hop pioneers announce one off UK show for 2025 - date and tickets

• Public Enemy have announced a one-off UK performance for 2025.
• The show marks the first time the hip-hop legends would have played on our shores in almost a decade.
• Here’s where you can catch the pioneers in the UK and when you can get tickets to the illustrious event.

Considered one of the most influential hip-hop acts in history, the legendary Public Enemy have announced a one-off UK show to take place later this year.

For 35 years, Public Enemy has redefined hip-hop with their innovative sound and unwavering commitment to social commentary. Anthems like Fight the Power and Bring the Noise became rallying cries, while the ground-breaking Fear of a Black Planet solidified their status as icons.

Their 2020 album, What You Gonna Do When the Grid Goes Down?, proved their continued relevance, showcasing a message of empowerment and resistance that remains as potent as ever.

The show marks the first time that Chuck D, Flavor Flav and the rest of the group will have performed on our shores in a decade, and with the current political climate how it is, expect “a night of politically charged, high-energy hip-hop, celebrating their legacy.”
