Frank Carter will join the Sex Pistols for two fundraiser shows to benefit London venue Bush Hall, playing ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’ in its entirety. The electric frontman will join iconic musicians Paul Cook, Glen Matlock and Steve Jones on Tuesday 13 August and Wednesday 14 August 2024 to raise funds for the celebrated West London venue. Performing the Sex Pistols’ iconic 1977 album in full, funds raised from both gigs will go directly towards preserving the independent venue.
In 2012 Frank Carter performed his debut live show with former band, Pure Love , at Bush Hall. A lifelong Sex Pistols fan, the frontman first met Steve Jones in 2008 during an interview on the guitarist’s radio show, later meeting the rest of the band through mutual friends. Speaking on the newly announced shows, he has shared: “This has been a joy from start to finish.
When the Sex Pistols call, you answer. I’m very excited to be a part of it.” Sex Pistols’ drummer Paul Cook has also said: “ We’re doing a benefit for Bush Hall with the famous Frank Carter.
We’re going to be playing Pistols numbers cause they need support and they need the money. We thought it would be a great way to stop it going under. This is my local venue.
I grew up in Shepherd’s Bush and I still live round here. It would be a real shame to see it disappear and we want to keep it going. So everyone get down to the gig!” See the poster for the shows below.
Tickets go on sale at 9am Wednesday June 5 – he.
