Sex Pistols Plan US Tour

Having not performed in North America since 2008, the Sex Pistols‘ guitarist Steve Jones has confirmed that he, bassist Glen Matlock and drummer Paul Cook are excited to head stateside with their new lead singer, Frank Carter.

Though he refused to share any specific details, when asked if they might return to the US, he said “We are!But no one knows where we’re playing.” “I don’t wanna put my foot in it! I’m excited. I know the dates, so I know it’s gonna be good…”

In 2024, the iconic UK Punk rockers reformed in 2024 for a British tour with the Carter as vocalist in place of John Lydon, and Steve revealed Frank was the only singer they tried working with, stating:

“Frank was the first singer we [tried], because me, Cookie and Glen wanted to play. It just worked straight away.” “He’s a lot younger than us. He’s 40, so he has all that energy and us old farts can just jam at the back!” “It was so much fun and people loved it, and I loved looking at people loving it.” “I was ready to throw it in, touring and all that. I couldn’t care less. But with Frank, it just made it easy. We all get along. There’s no aggro. It’s just fun!”

Now 69-year old, Jones admitted his surprise when the group experienced no backlash over the decision to tour without estranged frontman, Lydon, adding:

“John ain’t interested in doing it. You think you’re gonna get a negative thing by doing [it without him], but I’m surprised. There was no backlash whatsoever.” “There was a few die-hards on Instagram, but they hadn’t even seen us. They just can’t see it without John, which I get, but even the ones that came out of curiosity were into it after a couple of songs.”

The Sex Pistols have recently announced an Australian tour, and will perform at London’s Royal Albert Hall in March as part of the charity concert series in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
