Can you believe that this November marks 50 years since the release of the Sex Pistols' iconic track Anarchy in the UK?
To celebrate this milestone in British punk history, Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock will hit the road with Frank Carter standing in for vocalist Johnny Rotten.
The originally announced tour dates included shows in Dublin, Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well as two dates in London.
Now you can also catch the punk legends in Leeds, Newcastle, Liverpool, Birmingham, Portsmouth and Bristol later this year. Here's everything you need to know.

Why is Johnny Rotten not touring with Sex Pistols?
Former Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten, real name John Lydon, has had a long and storied falling out with the rest of the Sex Pistols.
The relationship between Rotten and the rest of the band has been tumultuous as far back as the 1970s, with Rotten eventually setting up another band, Public Image Ltd.
However, the final nail in the coffin of the relationship came in 2021, when Lydon lost a legal case against bandmates Steve Jones and Paul Cook. Lydon opposed the use of Sex Pistols' music in the Disney show Pistol, which details the history of the Sex Pistols in a limited series.
