Sex Pistols bringing punk rock anarchy to Leeds with Frank Carter – get tickets
Punk rock anarchy is heading back to Yorkshire as the legendary Sex Pistols prepare to unleash 50 years of rebellious anthems in Leeds.
The band that helped turn British music upside down will rock O2 Academy Leeds on Friday, December 4, 2026, with explosive frontman Frank Carter for a night of snarling guitars, unforgettable hits and glorious musical mayhem.
The concert is part of their Lap of Honour UK Tour, celebrating half a century since the Sex Pistols burst onto the music scene and helped ignite a revolution.
Expect classics including Anarchy in the UK, God Save the Queen, Pretty Vacant and Holidays in the Sun.

The current line-up features three original members – guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock – alongside Carter, who joined in 2024.
Formerly of Gallows and Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Carter has brought fresh energy to the Pistols' legendary catalogue, thrilling audiences with his electrifying performances.
Original frontman John Lydon, famously known as Johnny Rotten, is not involved in the reunion.
Matlock, who helped write many of the band's greatest songs, was replaced by punk icon Sid Vicious in 1977 before returning for reunion tours from the 1990s onwards.
The Leeds show also celebrates the extraordinary legacy of the band's infamous 1976 performances at Manchester's Lesser Free Trade Hall.
Played before tiny audiences, those concerts helped inspire future members of Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths and Buzzcocks, changing the course of British music.
Five decades later, the Pistols are still bringing their unmistakable sound to a new generation.
And with the intimate atmosphere of O2 Academy Leeds, fans can expect to get close to the action as punk's surviving pioneers turn back the clock.
Whether you were there when punk first exploded or are discovering its legendary soundtrack for the first time, this promises to be one December night when anarchy rules in Leeds.
