Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter

One of the most influential rock bands of all time, 2025 has seen the new Pistols once more emerge as a force of chaos and celebration and 2026 will see them celebrate 50 years since the band’s infamous show at Manchester’s The Lesser Free Trade Hall – a gig hailed by NME as ‘the most important concert of all time’.

From Australia to Japan, through European festivals and a legendary show at the Royal Albert Hall – where Carter conjured a giant circle pit in that hallowed venue, they have torn venues apart throughout 2025. A return to London’s 100 Club before an audience that included Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller and Bobby Gillespie, sealed the revival.

For Steve Jones, the mission is simple: “If it ain’t fun, I ain’t doing it. I’m too old for bullshit.”

Formerly of Gallows and Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Carter joined the line up in 2024, to help save London’s iconic Bush Hall and soon received rave reviews for his energy and new life brought to Sex Pistols’ music.
