The Sex Pistols have joined the growing list of 1970s bands hitting the comeback trail, after announcing a one-off gig in London later this year.
The four surviving members of the band will take to the stage at the Brixton Academy on Nov 8 to mark the 30th anniversary of their album Never Mind The Bollocks.
Their announcement follows the ticket scramble sparked by last week’s news that Led Zeppelin are to play a charity gig at London’s O2 arena, also in November.
The Sex Pistols - the most celebrated and notorious British punk band - split in 1978 shortly before the death of bassist Sid Vicious.
They last reformed at a poorly-received show in Crystal Palace in south London in 2002.
Frontman John Lydon - formerly known as Johnny Rotten - told music website NME.com that "all of Britain" was welcome to attend the Brixton show, which coincides with the re-release of their first album.
"Maybe it’s because we’re all Londoners, but there would be no Sex Pistols without dear old London town," he said.
