Sex Pistols are teaming up with Frank Carter once again to mark a monumental milestone in punk history. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the punk explosion, the newly energized lineup will embark on a UK and Ireland tour in December 2026.
The upcoming “Anarchy in the U.K. Tour” will see original Sex Pistols members Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock joining forces with Frank Carter to deliver five massive indoor shows this winter. These newly confirmed dates will follow their previously announced run of open-air summer concerts.
Fans can catch the punk pioneers at major venues, including the 3Arena in Dublin, the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh, the O2 Academy in Glasgow, and two highly anticipated stops in London at the O2 Academy Brixton and Eventim Apollo.
Tickets for the December shows will officially go on sale via Planet Rock Tickets starting at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, February 27.
This tour comes exactly a half-century after the Sex Pistols first sparked the punk rock movement in underground clubs like The 100 Club. The current lineup of the band proved their explosive chemistry during a highly successful 2025 global trek, which included chaotic, critically acclaimed stops in Japan and Australia.
Reflecting on the band’s triumphant return to the stage, drummer Paul Cook shared his excitement for the upcoming run:
“We’ve had a blast. People want to come and see us play live. If I must say so myself, we are a great live band!”
