Legendary punk band the Sex Pistols is uniting with a singer for a show in Glasgow later this year.

Paul Cook, Glen Matlock and Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols announced a short UK tour stopping at at Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester, and London this September.

The tour will include a stop at Glasgow’s O2 Academy on September 22.

They will be joined by English singer Frank Carter, known for his collaboration with former bands Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes and Gallows.

It comes after the group performed three fundraising nights at London’s Bush Hall earlier this month, after the venue came under threat of closure.

After being met with critical acclaim, the band – known for hits including Anarchy in the UK and God Save the Queen – announced a UK tour where they will perform the 1977 album Never Mind The Bollocks in full.

Guitarist Steve Jones said of the tour: “There was an overwhelming response on social media from fans asking to play different parts of the country.

“So guess what? It will be done. We will be tighter than a rat’s arse by the time we get to Kentish Town.”

Tickets go on sale from Friday, August 23.
