The Sex Pistols Scotland Ticket Prices and Presales: How to see the punk legends in Edinburgh and Glasgow
The band’s previous gigs have been praised by critics and fans alike.
The Sex Pistols (with Frank Carter replacing John Lydon on vocals) have announced two Scottish gigs at the end of 2026.
The collaboration between Sex Pistols Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock and punk contemporary Frank Carter have already played a string of critically-acclaimed gigs - including at Glasgow’s 02 Academy and the city’s Bellahouston Park.
This year’s tour is to mark the 50th anniversary of punk’s popularity exploding in 1976.
The band’s legendary performances at Manchester's Lesser Free Trade Hall that year inspired several audience members to form bands, including Joy Division, New Order, the Smiths, the Fall, Simply Red, Magazine and Buzzcocks.
Their one and only studio album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols was released a year later and changed the world of music forever.
