The Sex Pistols have confirmed a run of rescheduled shows in North American, featuring Frank Carter.
These dates will take place following the band's run of shows in the UK and Europe, including their live set at the Isle of Wight Festival. They will also return to the UK for five more shows later this year.
Tickets for their North American dates will go up for sale this Friday (March 6) at 10am local times.
The tour begins in Dallas, marking the band's first appearance at the venue since their infamous 1978 show at the Longhorn Ballroom. Other venues include The 100 Club, The Marquee, The Nashville, and the El Paradiso Strip Club.

The band rescheduled these shows from last September, after being forced to postpone them when guitarist Steve Jones sustained a broken wrist.
In a statement, Jones said the following.
"Mr. Jones here with an update on my wrist," he said. "I think it's good enough to do the upcoming tour. Now, if I can just stop my legs from buckling up, I think I'll be in good shape." He's joined by fellow original Sex Pistols members Paul Cook and Glen Matlock".
These shows will see the Pistols perform the entire catalogue from their famous album, Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols.
Irish fans are also in luck, as the Pistols featuring Frank Carter will also head over to Ireland for a show at Dublin's 3Arena in December. Find out more on this and Nova's report here.
Last month, Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi spoke of his love of various artists, including Kate Bush and the Sex Pistols.
Speaking of his fondness for Never Mind The Bollock, Here's The Sex Pistols, Capaldi said: "I was there when it came out, and I just thought it was incredible," he explained. "The whole brouhaha about the Sex Pistols in the newspapers took over the whole culture before we’d even heard a note, so it was hard to grasp their musical identity, other than the fact that everyone said that they were terrible, they couldn’t play, all that stuff. Finally, Virgin signed them, and they brought this out, and it’s just stunning".
"The idea that you could make such powerful music so simply was so exciting," he adds, "especially after there’d been such a dominance of musical sophistication with Yes and Genesis and the supergroups, which all demanded a kind of musical bravado and technical skill that was way beyond the limit of any of us. The fact that this was available to us, and driven by a kind of youthful anger, was so exciting. It still is!".
