The chaos is back on schedule.
SEX PISTOLS — Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock — with FRANK CARTER on vocals have officially confirmed their rescheduled North American tour for fall 2026, after last year’s run was scrapped before it even began.
The original 2025 dates were pulled after guitarist Steve Jones suffered a broken wrist, sidelining the band ahead of their planned U.S. and South American appearances. Now fully recovered (wrist cooperating, legs pending), Jones says he’s ready to go.
“Mr. Jones here with an update on my wrist,” he quipped. “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.”
The tour launches September 11 at Dallas’ historic Longhorn Ballroom — the very room where the band’s infamous 1978 show became part of punk lore. Nearly five decades after their formation, this run doubles as a 50-year anniversary celebration of the band that detonated polite society and rewired outsider culture worldwide.
At each stop, fans can expect a full performance of the 1977 landmark Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols in its entirety, plus additional cuts from across the band’s short-but-explosive catalog. Carter’s collaboration with the surviving members has been widely praised since their 2024 return, injecting fresh volatility into the Pistols’ still-dangerous blueprint.
In addition to honoring most postponed 2025 tickets (check with your point of purchase), the band has added new dates in cities including Austin, Boston, Columbus, Houston, Kansas City, Phoenix, Nashville, Salt Lake City and San Diego.
Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, March 6 at 10 a.m. local time.

Reflecting on their reunion momentum, Paul Cook summed it up simply: the band is having a blast, and people still want to see them. Nearly 50 years later, the sneer hasn’t softened — it’s just aged like a well-preserved middle finger.
