Sex Pistols reschedule 2026 North American tour with Frank Carter
The Sex Pistols have recently announced the rescheduling of their North American tour with Frank Carter after guitarist Steve Jones faced a setback with a broken wrist, pausing the tour that included South American dates. This follows their upcoming U.K. and European performances this summer, including the Isle of Wight Festival, with plans to return for more shows in the U.K. later in the year.
The iconic punk rock band, featuring original members Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock, will be joined by Carter in place of original frontman John Lydon for this North American tour. Jones expressed optimism about his wrist recovery, ready to hit the road again, while Lydon criticized the tour’s direction, referring to it as mere karaoke, fearing the loss of the band’s essence.
The 2026 North American tour is set to begin in Dallas, marking their return since a notorious performance in 1978. The band will deliver a full rendition of their groundbreaking 1977 album “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” amidst the addition of new shows to the schedule. Several concerts have been rescheduled, with some venues changed, and previously purchased tickets may be honored, subject to local venue restrictions.
The band’s summer tour in the U.K. and Europe includes key dates in various cities, with an extensive list of performances lined up. The North American leg of the tour will kick off in Dallas and travel across cities such as Austin, Houston, Nashville, Toronto, Montreal, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Cleveland, Detroit, and more before concluding in Los Angeles. The winter schedule includes performances in Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and London.
Fans eagerly anticipate the revival and continuation of the Sex Pistols’ legacy with Carter joining the lineup for the North American tour. The band’s iconic presence and influential sound are set to captivate audiences once again, as they bring their timeless punk rock energy to stages across North America. Tickets for the rescheduled North American shows will go on sale to the public in March, promising an unforgettable and electrifying concert experience for fans of punk rock music.
