Sex Pistols have been announced as part of an all-dayer of punk music in Glasgow next summer, forming a part of the city’s Glasgow Summer Sessions strand. Tickets for the show will go on sale at 9am on Friday 22 November. 

The original punks found a new lease of life this year when veteran frontman Frank Turner joined original members Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock onstage at the Bush Hall last August to perform the Pistols' greatest hits, replacing vocalist John Lydon. The new line-up has since embarked on a mini-tour across the country. 

In our review of the new line-up, we wrote, ‘Carter, who was born five years after the tragic passing of Sid Vicious, cut a vibrant, sprightly figure on stage alongside this trio of punk icons, and has clearly put effort into his impressive take on Lydon’s distinct voice, leaving him hoarse as he attempted to banter with the Academy crowd between each hit. Who will be on the receiving end of the invoice he sends for the trousers he ripped during one of his many ventures into the crowd is unclear. But his presence allowed the band to stand back and focus on the music, which sounded solid all night.’ Read the full review here. 

Carter will return for the Glasgow show, which will see the seminal album Never Mind The Bollocks performed in full alongside a clutch of the band’s hits. 

Turner and his gang of punk godfathers will be joined by The Stranglers, The Undertones, Buzzcocks, Skids and The Rezillos at Bellahouston Park next summer. 

The ‘God Save The Queen’ four-piece will also perform at next year's Download Festival (Friday 13-Sunday 15 June) and Margate's Dreamland (Saturday 23 August).
