Punk rock royalty is expanding their upcoming anniversary victory lap. The legendary Sex Pistols—now fronted by powerhouse vocalist Frank Carter—have expanded their schedule with a fresh batch of UK concert dates for their upcoming 2026 tour celebrating five decades of punk chaos. The touring crew, which features classic members Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock alongside Carter, is coming together to honor 1976—the explosive year that altered the course of rock music history through raucous shows at legendary venues like The Marquee and The 100 Club. Due to overwhelming fan response, the band is adding extra stops across Great Britain to ensure fans don't miss out on the milestone celebration.

The added dates don't stop there: the punk outfit will also bring their amp-cranked show to the Liverpool Olympia, Birmingham O2 Academy, Portsmouth Guildhall, and Bristol's Prospect Building. These newly minted dates expand an already stacked winter itinerary across Great Britain and Ireland. The group previously locked in appearances at Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange and Glasgow’s O2 Academy, alongside high-profile double header stops in London at both Brixton Academy and the Eventim Apollo.

Entertainment insiders predict swift sellouts across all venues as interest in the 'Anarchy In The U.K.' heritage tour hits a high point five decades after the group first shook up the establishment. Though iconic original singer John Lydon isn't part of this particular line-up, Carter has won over audiences while stepping into the vocal spotlight alongside Jones, Cook, and Matlock. For diehard listeners eager to experience those classic anthems live, this expanded run promises one of the biggest rock throwbacks of the decade.
