Sex Pistols return to Germany with Frank Carter and 2026 live dates

Sex Pistols are back on the road in 2026, with Germany at the front of the schedule. Eventim lists the Cologne show for July 5, 2026, and the Munich date for July 6, 2026, while the run opens in Nuremberg on July 4, 2026.
Germany opens the run
The German leg begins at Save The Core in Nuremberg on July 4, then moves to Südbrücke in Cologne on July 5 and Tollwood Sommerfestival in Munich on July 6. Eventim’s live listing confirms the Cologne show with Sex Pistols feat. Frank Carter at Südbrücke, and München Ticket names the Tollwood Musik-Arena date in Munich.
That sequence matters because it puts three German stops ahead of the later international routing. For a band with punk history stretching back to 1976, the July dates turn Germany into the first live anchor of this campaign.
The wider 2026 route
After the German shows, the tour continues in the UK and North America. The verified route includes Halifax on July 11, Manchester on July 12, Joensuu on July 17-18, Plovdiv on July 23-26, Carcassonne on July 28, Cardiff on August 1, Scarborough on August 2, then Dublin on December 7, Edinburgh on December 9, Glasgow on December 10, London on December 18 and London again on December 20.
The North American leg starts on September 11 in Dallas and runs through October 18 in Los Angeles, with stops in Austin, Houston, Nashville, Kansas City, Toronto, Montreal, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Cleveland, Detroit, Columbus, Minneapolis, Denver, Salt Lake City, Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego and Phoenix. That makes the 2026 itinerary a broad international circuit rather than a short reunion burst.

What the catalog says
The current live push arrives alongside a scheduled reissue of Filthy Lucre Live. The official Sex Pistols site says the album returns on November 20, 2026, as a 30th-anniversary reissue, and notes that the original concert took place at Finsbury Park on June 23, 1996.
That gives the 2026 cycle a clear bridge between stage and catalogue. The band is not only touring; it is also revisiting the 1996 live document that captured the 20-year reunion era and now feeds the 30-year anniversary rollout.
Where the band stands
Sex Pistols are currently active as Sex Pistols feat. Frank Carter, with the German dates and the broader 2026 route set around the 50-year punk framing. The next confirmed live date is September 11, 2026 in Dallas at Longhorn Ballroom.
