Sex Pistols announce new London date

Punk icons the Sex Pistols are set to play London's Hammersmith Apollo later this year.

The band will perform at the venue for the first time in their history on September 2, 30 years after their lead singer, John Lydon, was apparently banned from the venue.

The venue is also allegedly where Steve Jones acquired some of his guitars during David Bowie's 'farewell' performance as Ziggy Stardust in 1973.

Tickets go on sale Monday (June 16).
