Sex Pistols with Frank Carter Announce Winter UK Tour

The Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter have added a raft of new dates to their forthcoming winter '50 Years Of Punk' tour, celebrating five decades since punk’s most momentous year of 1976. General sale tickets for the newly added shows become available this Friday, September 4, at 10am BST NME.

The winter schedule kicks off at Dublin’s 3Arena on December 7, followed by Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange, Glasgow’s O2 Academy, and London's Brixton Academy and Eventim Apollo. Newly added stops include Leeds O2 Academy on December 4, Newcastle NX on December 5, Liverpool Olympia on December 12, Birmingham O2 Academy on December 14, Portsmouth Guildhall on December 15, and the Bristol Prospect Building on December 16. London dates conclude the run on December 18 at Brixton Academy and December 20 at the Eventim Apollo.

The original line-up played legendary gigs in 1976 at venues like The Marquee, The 100 Club, The Nashville, and the El Paradiso strip club, alongside influential shows at Manchester’s Lesser Free Trade Hall that inspired future members of Joy Division, The Smiths, and The Fall. The band reformed with Frank Carter as vocalist in 2024, initially to raise funds for London’s Bush Hall venue. Guitarist Steve Jones noted that Carter brings fresh energy to the group, while bassist Glen Matlock remarked that Carter is a class act recommended by Matlock's son, Louis.
