The dates will support the band's most recent album End of World, which was released in 2023 and included the lead single Hawaii - a tribute to Lydon's late wide Nora Forster, which formed the band's bid to represent Ireland at Eurovision.
Speaking of the emotional track, the punk rock icon said: "It is dedicated to everyone going through tough times on the journey of life, with the person they care for the most.
"It’s also a message of hope that ultimately love conquers all."

The frontman was left devastated after his wife lost her long battle with Alzheimer's disease, aged 80, on 6th April 2023, but vowed to embark on a lengthy tour supporting the record as it's what she would have wanted.
A post shared by the band shortly after Forster's passing read: "PiL have decided to continue plans to announce their 11th studio album End of World, following the sad passing of John's wife Nora Forster. End of World will be released on 11th August followed by a 38-date UK and European Tour".
