Anarchy in the U.K Tour

Anarchy in the U.K Tour brings the Sex Pistols, the English punk band, to Bristol. The night is a rock concert at The Prospect Building, which hosts concerts and shows in the city.

The Sex Pistols formed in London in 1975 and became one of the central bands of British punk. Their debut single, Anarchy in the U.K., was released in 1976, and God Save the Queen followed in 1977. Their only studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, came out later in 1977. The core line-up was Johnny Rotten, Steve Jones, Paul Cook on drums and Glen Matlock on bass, with Sid Vicious replacing Matlock in 1977. Managed by Malcolm McLaren, the group split in January 1978 at the end of a US tour.

The band's music draws on the raw, fast guitar rock of the mid-1970s, with short, abrasive songs and confrontational lyrics. The tour takes its name from the group's first single, and this show sits within the wider Anarchy in the U.K Tour.

The Prospect Building is a Bristol venue for concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners interested in the original British punk movement and in the songs that shaped it.
