Generation Sex: Announced More Tour News

Generation Sex, the punk supergroup, featuring frontman Billy Idol and bassist Tony James of Generation X, alongside Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook and guitarist Steve Jones will finally land in the UK after much speculation and excitement since their appearance in the USA in a tiny venue in 2018. Sex Pistols and Generation X were two of the front runners in the punk explosion in the 70s. It’s a tour we have been eagerly awaiting. They will be bringing us such classics as Dancing With Myself, Ready Steady Go and My Way and many more old-loved punk tracks of our youth.

Bob Vylan and Grade 2 has been announced as the support for Generation Sex across two UK huge dates at The Civic at The Halls Wolverhampton (10 July) and Manchester Apollo (11 July). “Bob Vylan are one of the most important acts in music right now.” – Louder Than War.

Bob Vylan (a LTW favourite) are a London punk duo amalgamating grime and hip hop for a very modern British sound. In April last year, they released their second album ‘Bob Vylan Presents The Price Of Life’ which made the UK top 20. You can read the interview with John Robb from 2002 here:

Grade 2 are another band LTW have covered in the early years and hail from the Isle Of Wight, they formed as teenagers with punk flowing through their veins. Louder Than War described their ‘Graveyard Island’ album as “Upbeat stripped back punk’n roll with a bit of yobbo thrown in.”

The punk quartet begin their shows on 14th June on L’Ubu in Rennes, France and go on to perform in Norway, Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, and Germany – as well as headlining shows in the UK including Manchester and Wolverhampton, with a special guest appearance at the Dog Day Afternoon in Crystal Park Palace alongside Iggy Pop and Blondie. Two new shows have been announced at: O2 Apollo in Manchester on 11th July and Tivoli Vredenburg in Utrecht on 27th June.
