Sex Pistols — minus Johnny Rotten — book Fillmore Detroit for first show here since 1996
Three-fourths of the original surviving Sex Pistols will play the Fillmore Detroit on Oct. 4, part of a 13-city North American tour celebrating the band's 1977 album.
Guitarist Steve Jones, bassist Glen Matlock and drummer Paul Cook will be joined by fellow Brit and 40-year-old punk veteran Frank Carter for the shows, which will feature a performance of 'Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols' in its entirety.
The Fillmore stop will be the first Detroit show under the Sex Pistols banner since a 1996 Cobo Arena concert. The current lineup is officially billed as the Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter.
Tickets for the Fillmore Detroit show will go on sale at 10 a.m. April 4, following a presale window next week. Presale registration is open now.
The upcoming live run — marking 50 years since the influential punk band's formation — follows a series of U.K. dates last year. The group is also set to tour Australia and Europe.
The 2024 shows were largely met with strong reviews. But Rotten, the founding Sex Pistols singer who fell out with the band amid production of a 2022 TV biodrama, has been sharply critical, calling the act 'karaoke" and characterizing it as a cash grab.
