Sex Pistols Anarchy In The UK Tour - Kings Hall, Derby UK poster
|
Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
1976 was the year the world woke up to The Sex Pistols. Following their February debut London appearance at the Marquee, opening for Eddie & The Hotrods, they went on to play the 100 Club and the El Paradiso in Soho, returning to the 100 Club in May for a four-week Tuesday night residency. Gigs followed around the north of England, and at the Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall in June, organised by Howard Devoto and Pete Shelley, then Sheffield on July 4th where The Clash opened for them.
The 100 Club Punk Festival took place over 2 nights in September, featuring the Buzzcocks, The Clash, The Damned, Sex Pistols, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Subway Sect and The Vibrators. Naturally, chaos reigned and the press had a field day. In October the Sex Pistols signed for EMI and their debut single, Anarchy In The UK, was released in November.
On December 1st the Sex Pistols appeared on Bill Grundy's 'Today' programme. Two days later, on Friday 3rd, their Anarchy UK Tour was due to kick-off at Norwich for a 19 date concert tour, supported throughout by The Damned, Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers and The Clash. Following the 'Filth and the Fury' media backlash caused after their appearance on the now infamous 'Today' programme most of the dates were cancelled or banned. Only three dates on the whole tour actually took place, eventually kicking off at Leeds Polytechnic on the 6th and then playing Manchester's Electric Circus on the 9th with the Buzzcocks, finally ending at Plymouth's Woods Centre on the 21st.
This colourful poster was produced for the Kings Hall, Derby concert due to take place on Saturday December 4th. It would have been the second night & venue on the tour had it not been cancelled. All four bands were requested to perform an 'audition' in advance of the show, presumably to appease the organisers, but Malcolm McLaren refused to allow it, resulting in the cancellation of the show.
