Sex Pistols, featuring Frank Carter, put on an explosive performance at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust last night. The band, with Carter taking over as frontman, reunited last year and delivered a high-octane set that included classics like ‚Holidays In The Sun‘ and ‚God Save The Queen‘.
Before the show, the band played an intimate warm-up gig at the 100 Club, attended by music legends Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller. Carter described the event as a fantastic opportunity for old and new punks to come together and enjoy the music.
Highlights of the night included energetic performances of songs like ‚Bodies‘ and ‚Anarchy in the UK‘, with Carter spending as much time crowd-surfing as he did on stage. The band received an enthusiastic response from the audience, with guitarist Steve Jones expressing his excitement at playing at the Royal Albert Hall for the first time.
Following the show, the band will be touring New Zealand and Australia before returning to the UK for appearances at Download Festival and Glasgow Summer Sessions. Despite the absence of original frontman John Lydon, the reunion with Carter has been well-received by fans and critics alike.
Overall, the night was a celebration of punk rock music, with Carter channeling the energy and spirit of the original Sex Pistols while also bringing his own unique style to the performance. The band’s setlist featured classic tracks like ‚Pretty Vacant‘ and ‚No Fun‘, showcasing their enduring influence on the punk rock genre.
For fans of the band, the reunion with Carter has been a thrilling experience, with the frontman injecting new life into the iconic group’s music. As the band continues their tour and prepares for future shows, the spirit of punk rock lives on through their electrifying performances.
Ich bin nervös, weil sie große, große Schuhe zu füllen sind, aber ich werde einfach mein Bestes geben und versuchen, sie alle stolz zu machen.
