Iconic hip-hop group Public Enemy is set to make waves with a landmark performance at London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall on June 27, 2025. This event marks the first UK show for the legendary group in nearly a decade, presenting a unique opportunity for British fans to experience their powerful and politically charged hip-hop live. The upcoming performance is poised to be a “once-in-a-lifetime” event as Public Enemy takes to the stage under the same historic roof that has hosted legendary acts like Jimi Hendrix, Luciano Pavarotti, and The Beatles.

This major announcement coincides with the 35th anniversary of Public Enemy's seminal track “Fight The Power,” which originally appeared on the soundtrack of Spike Lee's 1989 film Do The Right Thing. The song has become a cornerstone of their catalog and a celebrated anthem of empowerment and resistance. Fans can anticipate a high-energy setlist that will not only feature this track but also other hits such as “Bring The Noise” and “Don't Believe The Hype”. Additionally, tracks from their 2020 critically acclaimed album, *What You Gonna Do When the Grid Goes Down*, might also be showcased.

The historic performance at the Royal Albert Hall offers Public Enemy a chance to stand on a platform that has featured some of the greatest talents in the music industry. Speaking about their excitement, Chuck D expressed gratitude for the opportunity to perform at such a renowned venue, promising fans a night filled with intense and unforgettable hip-hop energy. Tickets for this highly anticipated event, priced between £50 and £125, will go on sale to the general public on April 4, 2025.

Beyond the London show, Public Enemy will be sharing stages across both the UK and the US throughout 2025, joining other major acts at festivals like the Sea.Hear.Now Festival in New Jersey, where they will perform alongside Blink-182, Hozier, and LCD Soundsystem. Additionally, they are scheduled to appear at the Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, where attendees can catch them performing with the likes of My Chemical Romance, Vampire Weekend, and Deftones, reflecting their enduring influence and adaptability in the dynamic music scene.
