Anarchy in the U.K Tour

A punk rock concert by the Sex Pistols, presented as the Anarchy in the U.K Tour at O2 Academy Birmingham. The band is one of the defining groups of British punk from the 1970s.

The Sex Pistols formed in London in 1975 and became one of the central bands of British punk rock. Their debut single, “Anarchy in the U.K”, appeared in 1976, and their only studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols, followed in 1977. Johnny Rotten sings, Steve Jones plays guitar, and Paul Cook, a founding member, is on drums.

Their songs are short, fast and guitar-driven, and “God Save the Queen”, released in 1977, is among their best-known recordings. The tour takes its name from the 1976 single, which gives the programme its title and its punk roots.

O2 Academy Birmingham is the venue, a space in Birmingham that hosts concerts and shows. The night suits listeners who follow the band’s 1970s records and the wider history of British punk.
