On Monday 24 March the “rip-roaring punk rock redux” (The Guardian) of Frank Carter and Paul Cook, Steve Jones, Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols will tear through their seminal album ‘Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols’ with punk classics from ‘Pretty Vacant’ to ‘Anarchy in the UK’ and, of course, ‘God Save The Queen’ (*or King). When the line-up - featuring the Gallows singer on vocals - made its debut in 2024, the Standard wrote: “Carter, and three of the original Sex Pistols members led the thronging, sweaty crowd through a night of unadulterated punk rock mayhem at Bush Hall.” Louder described the show as: “Sheer joy. They should tour it everywhere. God save their mad parade.” The band will play their first 2025 gig at the Royal Albert Hall - and there can be no more appropriate venue for these songs.

Steve Jones says: “After an incredible 2024, we are itching to get going again this year and what better way than on home territory at a venue that wouldn’t have let us near it back in the day! Albert will be turning in his tomb. It’s an honour to help this great charity.”

In August 2023, Frank Carter joined Paul Cook, Steve Jones, Glen Matlock of Sex Pistols for one of the most surprising and adored music events of the year. Members of one of the most influential rock bands of all time, plus lifelong fan and modern day punk icon Carter, performed the Sex Pistols’ iconic 1977 album. Never Mind The Bollocks in full. Teaming up to play 3 nights of fund-raising for the West London’s iconic Bush Hall, the foursome stunned fans and critics alike, creating a sonic onslaught and mayhem reminiscent of 1976. Carter fitted like a glove, perfectly recreating the songs that changed the world, while resolutely remaining himself.
