Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter have announced the "Anarchy In The U.K. Tour" for December 2026 to celebrate 50 years of punk. Original members Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock will once again join forces with the former Gallows frontman to recreate the incendiary energy of punk’s 1976 "year zero." This winter run marks a milestone anniversary for the band, arriving half a century after the Pistols first ignited a cultural revolution in London’s underground clubs.
The winter tour kicks off on 7 December at the 3 Arena in Dublin, followed by a trip to Scotland for shows at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange on 9 December and the Glasgow O2 Academy on 10 December. The tour concludes with two massive homecoming dates in London: a performance at the legendary Brixton Academy on 18 December and a grand finale at the Eventim Apollo on 20 December.
Before the December arena run, fans can catch the band throughout the summer of 2026. The group is scheduled to perform at The Piece Hall in Halifax on 11 July and the Castlefield Bowl in Manchester on 12 July. The summer schedule continues with a headline show at Cardiff Castle on 1 August and a final outdoor date at the Scarborough Open Air Theatre on 2 August.
Frank Carter joined the lineup in 2024 and has since been praised for bringing a "full throttle" vitality to the Pistols' classic discography. Throughout 2025, the collaboration toured extensively from Japan to Europe, including a high-profile set at the Royal Albert Hall. Paul Cook notes that the band remains a "force of chaos and celebration," maintaining the simple, DIY message that originally tapped into the country's unrest in the late seventies.
