Sex Pistols and Frank Carter have announced another headline show in London – you can find all the details below.
Carter joined forces with Glen Matlock, Paul Cook and Steve Jones to play ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’ in its entirety to raise funds for Bush Hall in Shepherd’s Bush, west London.
The first sold-out show took place at the venue last night (August 13), with further gigs scheduled for this evening (14) and tomorrow (15).
Now, following an “overwhelming response” to the gigs, Sex Pistols and Carter have confirmed that they’ll be returning to the capital for another live concert. The band are due to take to the stage at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on Thursday September 26.
In a statement, guitarist Jones said: “The response to the Bush Hall shows has been overwhelming and it’s a privilege to help out a local venue like that. And it became obvious that there are many more fans who want to see us.”
He continued: “Playing with Frank has been such a pleasure that we wanted to extend the fun. So Kentish Town, here we come.”
Tickets go on general sale at 9am BST this Friday (August 16) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Find pre-sale information on Ticketmaster.

Speaking about the Bush Hall shows previously, drummer Cook explained: “We’re doing a benefit for Bush Hall with the famous Frank Carter. We’re going to be playing Pistols numbers cause they need support and they need the money.
“We thought it would be a great way to stop it going under. This is my local venue. I grew up in Shepherd’s Bush and I still live ’round here. It would be a real shame to see it disappear and we want to keep it going. So everyone get down to the gig!”
Carter added: “This has been a joy from start to finish. When the Sex Pistols call, you answer. I’m very excited to be a part of it.”
