Sex Pistols Reschedule North American Tour for 2026

The Sex Pistols, the influential British punk band, have announced rescheduled dates for their North American tour featuring frontman Frank Carter, set to begin in September 2026 after a postponement due to injury. The 18-date run will start on September 11 at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas, Texas, and conclude on October 18 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California, marking the group's return to the road with three original members.

The tour was originally planned for fall 2025 but canceled before any performances when guitarist Steve Jones broke his wrist in September of that year. The injury affected all remaining North and South American dates, though the band had completed several shows in the United Kingdom earlier in 2024. Now recovered, Jones, along with drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock, will perform alongside Carter, who takes over lead vocals in place of original singer John Lydon, known as Johnny Rotten. Lydon, who has publicly criticized the current lineup, will not participate; the band last performed together in its full original configuration in 2008.

Audiences can expect a complete performance of the band's seminal 1977 album, Never Mind...
