The Sex Pistols' legendary 1978 US tour is immortalized in three Live in the U.S.A. albums, capturing the band’s raw and defiant energy in Atlanta, Dallas, and San Francisco. These recordings, featuring iconic tracks like “God Save the Queen,” document the band amidst hostile crowds and historical upheaval, solidifying their impact on rock and roll. Available now in limited-edition vinyl (1500 copies each color), CD (2500 copies), and digital collections, the vinyl series includes: Atlanta (red vinyl) from the Great South East Music Hall, released Feb 28; Dallas (white vinyl) from the Longhorn Ballroom, released Mar 28; and San Francisco (blue vinyl) from Winterland Ballroom, coming April 25.

The 2025 tour follows the group’s triumphant UK performances, where The Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter created a sonic onslaught and mayhem reminiscent of 1976. Carter fit like a glove, perfectly recreating the songs that changed the world, while resolutely remaining himself. His dynamic presence and authentic delivery seamlessly blended with the Sex Pistols' raw energy, earning widespread acclaim.
