In August 2024, Frank Carter joined Paul Cook, Steve Jones, Glen Matlock of Sex Pistols for one of the most surprising and adored music events of the year. Members of one of the most influential rock bands of all time, plus life-long fan and modern-day punk icon Carter, performed the Sex Pistols’ iconic 1977 album ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’ in full. Carter fitted like a glove, perfectly recreating the songs that changed the world, while resolutely remaining himself.
In exciting news for Australian fans, nearly 30 years since they were last on these shores, Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter have announced a run of exclusive Australian shows beginning in Melbourne on April 5, followed by dates in Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane, winding up in Fremantle on April 11, playing ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’ in its entirety.
Now, Sex Pistols are excited to announce Australian rock band CIVIC as special guests on their Australian dates.
Formed in 2017, the band’s concept was to ‘do good rock and roll and not to stuff about with it’ which has led to CIVC being one of the most exhilarating bands to emerge in recent years, reimagining the reckless intensity of proto-punk for an era of endless uncertainty.
On their 2021 debut album ‘Future Forecast’, the Melbourne-based five-piece offered up a barrage of songs matching their frenetic sound with both self-aware outpouring and incisive observation of the world around them – a dynamic that’s earned massive critical acclaim as well as admiration from the likes of musicians like punk legend Henry Rollins.
As further shown on their upcoming sophomore full-length ‘Taken By Force’ —an album the band aptly sums up as “1984 meets Endless Summer”— CIVIC joyfully obliterate the line between furious catharsis and unbridled fun, introducing a vital new energy into today’s musical landscape.
