Frank Carter and members of the Sex Pistols have announced the support acts for their much-anticipated 'Never Mind The Bollocks' UK tour, which is set to kick off tomorrow, September 20, in Nottingham. The tour will feature the iconic album performed in its entirety, with stops in various cities including Glasgow, Manchester, and London.
The first show will take place at Rock City in Nottingham, where London indie rockers The Molotovs will be the opening act. They will also support Carter and the Pistols in Birmingham the following night. For the Glasgow show on September 22, the Manchester duo Dirty Blonde will take the stage as the support act. In Manchester, The Kairos will open for the band, while GIRLBAND! will take the spotlight at the final show in London on September 26 at O2 Forum Kentish Town.
Carter recently reflected on how this collaboration with the Sex Pistols came about, noting a chance meeting with guitarist Steve Jones back in 2007, which developed into a longer relationship that led to this tour. He emphasized the importance of supporting grassroots venues, acknowledging the financial struggles many such venues have faced, particularly in a year that has already seen a significant number of closures in the live music scene.
