Guitarist Steve Jones said of the announcement: “We're having a blast - we're like a well-oiled machine right now - and it's been incredible to get out there with these songs we wrote 50 years ago. We love it. Frank's a great frontman and really gets the crowd going. Every person in the audience loves these songs as much as we do and it’s an absolute pleasure to get out there and play them.”

This summer saw the Sex Pistols celebrate their infamous date at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in 1976 with a headline show at Manchester's Castlefield Bowl on Sunday 12th July 2026. They were joined on the date by very special guests in punk poet and The Bard of Salford Dr John Cooper Clarke, plus The Undertones.
The band also played a selection of summer outdoor shows including dates at The Piece Hall Halifax, Depot Live at Cardiff Castle and Scarborough Open Air Theatre.
Formerly of Gallows and Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Carter initially joined the line-up of Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock in 2024, to help save London’s iconic Bush Hall.
He soon received rave reviews for the energy and freshness brought to Sex Pistols’ music and the new line-up has been going strong ever since, drawing enviable crowds around the world.
“We’ve had a blast. People want to come and see us play live,” said Cook. “If I must say so myself, we are a great live band!”
For Jones, the mission is simple: “If it ain’t fun, I ain’t doing it. I’m too old for bullshit.”
