Former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon is among the acts set to perform at the Watford Colosseum in the coming weeks.

The relaunched Rickmansworth Road venue has been a hit with punters since Ocean Colour Scene's opening night gig last summer and there are eleven events set for between now and the end of May.

Our handy guide should have something for everyone and tickets - where still available - can be booked via the venue's website.
