Killing Joke will release an album of radio session recordings, “The Peel Sessions '79 - '81”, on September 8th. It will be the first time all 17 tracks are released in their live session form. At the moment all original Killing Joke members are working on a new album and world tour. Drummer, Paul Ferguson, rejoins the line up for the first time since 1987 just like bassist, Martin ‘Youth’ Glover who also steps back into the live arena after a near 15 year hiatus, having not played live with Killing Joke since 1994’s Pandemonium tour. The tour will see Killing Joke take up a two night residency in most venues offering a different set on each evening. On the first night, they will play their first two albums in their entirety, 1980’s self-titled album followed by the album “What’s This…For!”. Their second performance in each city will treat fans to 1994’s “Pandemonium” and the Island Records singles of '79 to '80.

in the links to related news part of the page it mentions al not showing up for the killing joke 25th anniversary show and that he was working on a melvins/biafra remix… did that ever come about?

The Melvins/Biafra remix did come out.
It’s on Sieg Howdy! and it’s pretty cool.

That '94 tour was great, and the only time I got to see KJ. I’d like to see them touch more on the Fire Dances~Brighter era in their live show again. Songs such as Frenzy, Darkness Before Dawn, Tabazan, and maybe Twilight Of The Mortal or Rubicon would work with their current sound. I wonder if Jaz even likes Brighter any more. Outside The Gate is the only album he should really be ashamed of.
