This tour marks the Sex Pistols' first U.S. shows since 2003, following their U.K. and European tour earlier in the summer of 2025.

The band aims to deliver a polished performance, asserting that they play just as well, if not better, now that they are older, promising an engaging concert experience.

This lineup change follows a legal dispute with Lydon over the use of their music in the Hulu miniseries 'Pistol', which he contested but ultimately lost.

Frank Carter, who joined the band in June 2024, has already performed nine shows with them prior to the North American tour and is committed to giving his all during performances.

The legendary punk band, the Sex Pistols, will kick off their first North American tour in two decades on September 16, 2025, in Dallas, Texas.

The announcement of the tour coincides with the release of a live album titled 'Live in the U.S.A.', recorded at the same venue and released on March 28, 2025.

Fans can find the complete list of tour dates and ticket information on the official website, SexPistolsFeaturingFrankCarter.com.

This tour features original members Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock, with Frank Carter stepping in as the new vocalist, replacing John Lydon.

The tour will include performances in major cities such as Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Montreal, Toronto, Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, and San Francisco, with more cities to be announced.

Pre-sale tickets for the tour will be available on April 2 and 3, 2025, with general sales starting on April 4, 2025, at 10 a.m. local time.

Carter believes that the current cultural climate calls for a band like the Sex Pistols, highlighting the energetic and cathartic nature of punk music during tough times.

Former frontman John Lydon has criticized the new lineup, calling their performances 'mediocre' and likening it to karaoke, despite positive reviews for the band's recent shows.
