THE Sex Pistols may never have played Oxford’s Sheldonian Theatre in their punk heyday.

But their former lead singer John Lydon – known as Johnny Rotten during his time with the world’s most notorious band – will be at the Sheldonian on Monday, December 8, to discuss his autobiography Anger is an Energy with broadcaster David Freeman.

The event, starting at 7pm, will be Lydon’s last appearance to promote his book before he rejoins his band PiL for an upcoming tour.

Tickets cost £20 , including a pre-signed copy of the book, or £5 for unallocated seating. The Blackwell’s Oxford Presents series will also feature Dame Vivienne Westwood, on December 15.
