Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
London's 100 Club has confirmed full lineup and ticketing details for two concerts marking the 50th anniversary of its legendary 1976 punk gig, with tickets going on sale this Friday, 4 September, at 12pm BST for just £1.50 each, matching the original ticket price. The original event, held on 20 and 21 September 1976, featured then-largely-unsigned acts including the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Damned, and was watched by future icons such as Paul Weller, Shane MacGowan and Vivienne Westwood, cementing its place in punk folklore.
Irish band Sprints will headline the first night on 20 September, marking one of their smallest venue appearances in some time, while Manchester jazz-punks Maruja, fresh from their acclaimed debut album "Pain To Power", will close out the second night on 21 September; special guests for both dates are still to be announced. The shows are supported by Marshall and George Cox, with venue owner Jeff Horton calling punk "THE most important genre and subculture" the UK has produced and saying the chosen lineup "perfectly reflects what Punk means in 2026".
