Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter expand summer 2026 tour

The Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter continue to build momentum around their already announced Summer 2026 tour, marking 50 years since the birth of punk with a run of explosive live shows across Europe. With anticipation at a fever pitch, the band has also added select new dates in recent days, including a newly confirmed stop in Milan.

Reuniting original members Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock, the tour sees the legendary band joined by Frank Carter, whose fierce, contemporary edge has injected new life into the Pistols’ uncompromising sound. The result is a series of performances that honor the band’s legacy while pushing it forward with renewed urgency.

The tour, first unveiled to widespread acclaim, spans major cities and festivals throughout the UK and Europe. The addition of further dates – such as Milan – reflects overwhelming demand and the enduring cultural impact of a band that helped redefine music and youth culture.

Fans can expect a setlist rooted in the groundbreaking 1977 album “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols”, alongside other iconic tracks that continue to resonate across generations. Early performances with Carter have been met with strong praise, highlighting a chemistry that captures the original spirit of the band while bringing a fresh intensity to the stage.

As the Summer 2026 dates approach, the Sex Pistols’ return stands as both a celebration and a reminder: the raw energy, defiance, and influence of punk remain as powerful now as they were five decades ago.
