Frank Carter and the Sex Pistols

A punk and rock concert in Leeds pairing the solo project of Frank Carter with the Sex Pistols, the British band whose 1970s records shaped the UK punk movement.

Frank Carter is a British vocalist whose career began with the punk band Gallows. Since 2015 the project has also performed as Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, whose debut album, Modern Ruin, was released that year. The music draws on hardcore punk and rock, with a sharp, aggressive delivery at the front.

The Sex Pistols formed in London in 1975 and became the defining group of the British punk scene. Their debut album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, appeared in 1977 and included "Anarchy in the UK" and "God Save the Queen". Their vocalist in that period was Johnny Rotten, and the band's abrasive guitar-led sound remains a reference point for later punk and rock acts.

The concert takes place at O2 Academy Leeds, a venue in Leeds that hosts concerts and shows. The night will appeal to listeners who follow punk and rock, both those who know the 1970s catalogue and those drawn to the work of Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes.
