Sex Pistols with Frank Carter played an explosive set at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust last night (Monday March 24).

Check out photos, footage and the setlist below.The Pistols reunited last year with Carter, of Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes and Gallows, replacing John Lydon as frontman.After playing an intimate and sweaty warm-up show at London’s iconic 100 Club on Friday – nearly 50 years since the band’s legendary residency and this time attended by the likes of Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller – the reformed punk legends took to the stage at Royal Albert Hall for what Carter described as “an amazing cause with amazing people.”Following well-received and high-octane support sets from The Molotovs and Kid Kapichi, the band kicked off with ‘Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols’ opener ‘Holidays In The Sun’ to prove why they remain what Carter hailed as “the greatest punk band of all time”.“We’ve got a fantastic mix of old punks and new punks here,” said Carter about the crowd, “and a fantastic opportunity to have a gigantic circle pit at Royal Albert Hall.”He continued: “Open the dance floor up.

You don’t see that at the ballet. I want to see the biggest circle pit.”With Paul Cook, Steve Jones and Glen Matlock in fine fettle and resplendent in all black, the suited and booted Carter spent almost as much time crowd-surfing or lost in the crowd, Carter instigated chaos and dedicated his efforts to pure entertainment and amplifying the energy of the songs rather than delivering a Lydon impersonation.Highlights included Carter’s “favourite fucking song” ‘Bodies’, as well as a feral outing of ‘Liar’, the anthemic ‘God Save The Queen’ nearly blowing the roof off this somewhat ironic.
