The Sex Pistols (Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock) featuring Frank Carter have confirmed their return to the stage, announcing rescheduled North American tour dates for fall 2026.
The tour is scheduled play the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, Arizona, on Saturday, Oct. 17.
At each stop, fans can expect a full performance of the Pistols’ landmark 1977 album “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” played in its entirety, along with additional material spanning their catalog. The shows feature Frank Carter, whose collaboration with the band has drawn widespread acclaim.
John Lydon, who was known as Johnny Rotten in the days of “Never Mind the Bollocks” and has taken part in several previous reunion tours, has said he’ll never return to singing for the Sex Pistols again, telling the Independent, “As far as I am concerned, I am the Pistols, and they’re not.”
The tour was originally halted in September 2025 after guitarist Steve Jones sustained a broken wrist, forcing the cancellation of all remaining North and South American dates before a single show was played.
With Jones fully recovered, the Pistols are set to resume plans to celebrate 50 years since their formation, bringing this long-awaited run to audiences across the continent.
The tour will kick off Sept. 11, at Dallas’ historic Longhorn Ballroom, marking the Pistols’ first return to the venue since their infamous and chaotic 1978 performance.
The 2026 run represents a major milestone for the Sex Pistols, serving as a definitive celebration of five decades since they first ignited a movement that reshaped music and outsider culture worldwide.
In addition to rescheduling select dates originally announced for 2025, the band has added new performances in Austin, Boston, Columbus, Houston, Kansas City, Phoenix, Nashville, Salt Lake City and San Diego.
