Public Enemy has announced an exclusive performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall on June 27, marking their first UK show in nearly a decade. This one-off event will feature the hip-hop legends, including Chuck D and Flavor Flav, delivering a politically charged, high-energy night celebrating their legacy. The setlist is expected to include classics like ‘Fight The Power’ and ‘Bring The Noise’ as well as tracks from their 2020 album, ‘What You Gonna Do When the Grid Goes Down.’
Chuck D expressed excitement for the show, stating, “We are honoured to have this opportunity to stand on the Royal Albert Hall stage and perform under the same renowned roof that the greats from Hendrix to Pavarotti… Thank you, London. We’ll see you soon.” Tickets go on sale April 4 at 9am BST.
Alongside this London concert, Public Enemy has scheduled festival dates this year, including performances at Sea.Hear.Now in 2025 with Blink-182, Hozier, and LCD Soundsystem, and the Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta. Earlier this year, the band was involved in relief efforts for families affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, raising funds with the Black Music Action Coalition and contributing $5000 to a young fan in need.
Flavor Flav also recently defended Selena Gomez, vocalising support following her comments regarding immigration policies under Donald Trump.
Public Enemy’s upcoming Royal Albert Hall show on June 27 promises to be a significant event, marking their return to the UK after nearly a decade. The concert will feature a mix of their classic hits and recent releases, showcasing their enduring legacy. Their involvement in humanitarian efforts and advocacy for important social issues highlights their commitment beyond music, making their return to the stage even more meaningful.
