Presented by: Live Nation
In August 2024, 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 life-long 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 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.
In exciting news for Australian and New Zealand fans, nearly 30 years since they were last on these shores, Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter have announced an exclusive run of shows, playing Never Mind The Bollocks in its entirety.
Commencing April 2, 2025 at Auckland Town Hall, the tour then heads to Christchurch and across to Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane, and concluding at Fremantle Prison on April 11.
