The Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter have announced a huge UK and Ireland tour as they celebrate 50 years of punk.
These shows will see the band celebrate five decades since the original Pistols line up played a series of gigs from venues include The 100 Club, The Marquee, The Nashville, and the El Paradiso Strip Club, which were soon following by the release of the iconic ‘Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols’.
The album is set to be best immortalised with their show at Manchester's Lesser Free Trade Hall, which is hailed as some of the most influential shows of all time, credited with inspiring musicians like The Smiths, Joy Division, and The Fall.
These shows, which take place in December, and will include a trip to Ireland, with a show at Dublin's 3Arena for the Pistols. Tickets for these shows go on general sale on Friday, 27 February.

Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter are celebrating what has been viewed as the birth of Punk, 1976.
Reflecting on what has been described as the 'Year Zero', Pistols bandmember, Paul Cook said: “It was kind of like a commando raid. I don’t even think a lot of places knew we were playing there. We just turned up and set up. It was all a learning curve for us – getting out there and playing live – we were learning on the job.
“With Anarchy, I think we tapped into a feeling of unrest around the country at the time. The message was pretty simple – just have a go and get out there and do whatever you want to do. It was a new world".
Elsewhere, in April last year, the Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter paid a sweet tribute to late Blondie drummer, Clem Burke during a live stage show in Sydney. Burke passed away following a battle with cancer aged 70.
