British punk icons the Sex Pistols are back together and heading Down Under in April with Frank Carter (from The Rattlesnakes) on vocal duties.
Hitting five capital cities performing their iconic album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, in its entirety, the band have now revealed their support for the tour – Melbourne quartet CIVIC.
Formed in 2017, the punk rock outfit comprises Jim McCullough, Lewis Hodgson, Roland Hvlaka and Eli Sthapit. The band counts Henry Rollins as a fan, with their 2021 debut album, Future Forecast, receiving rave reviews, while their 2023 record, Taken By Force, confirmed CIVIC as a force to be reckoned with.
CIVIC will join the new look Sex Pistols on tour across the country in April, performing at Melbourne’s Festival Hall on Saturday, April 5, Adelaide’s Hindley Street Music Hall on Sunday, April 6, Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Tuesday, April 8 and Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Wednesday, April 9, before bringing things to an end with a final performance at Fremantle Prison on Friday, April 11.
Tickets are on sale now via the Live Nation website.

Pioneers of the UK punk scene, the Sex Pistols’ initial career lasted under three years, with the band releasing just one album, the iconic Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols.
The record topped the UK charts but the chaos that followed the band caused them to burn out quickly, with the Pistols breaking up during their US tour.
The band reunited for several shows and tours over the years before vocalist John Lydon's radical political views ostracised him from the group. Carter was recruited for two charity shows in London last year and is now the permanent vocalist for this incarnation of the band.
Catch Sex Pistols with CIVIC at Hindley Street Music Hall on Sunday, April 6. For full ticketing information visit livenation.com.
